Which I think can be a good thing. Maltin suggests it's the best Chase film - I'm not so sure, but it's probably the most Chevy Chevy film. Chase plays wise-cracking, hard-working master-of-disguise reporter blowing lid off corrupt cops. Good work by supporting cast including early Geena Davis. Has several lines that will live with you (five, ten minutes tops...). Can play a little too broadly at times but still good for repeat viewings. | Nine |
I saw this movie when I was a little kid and I've been in love with this movie since then. Animation, music, voice overs, everything is brilliant. Since the Ramayana cannot be completely illustrated within two-three hours but still, this is amazing. A must watch movie. And yes, do not watch this movie thinking you are going to watch a cartoon or something. | Ten |
1899 may be a slow moving ship but once it finally starts to speed up there is no slowing it down. Around episode 5 this show finally started to show its true potential. Revealing that nauseating eerie presence that we all loved in "Dark" that mysterious cloak it creates is like no other. I found myself questioning every single idea of what was actually happening constantly. Although oddly enough a lot of my theories actually turned out to be true. After watching this show I don't know if I will ever actually have a grasp on what reality even is or means......Give the show a chance it is a work of art I promise. We are all here for a reason. | Eight |
24 was such an original and exciting show! It was a groundbreaking show that had it all...action, drama, suspense, mystery, twists, excitement, etc. The entire season takes place over the course of 24hrs with each episode making up one hour. It's about a Counter Terrorism Unit led by an agent named Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) as they race to save the country from terrorists. Not every season was great but most were and they're all worth watching! It was an action packed thriller that kept you on the edge of your seat throughout the series! Kiefer Sutherland was absolutely perfect as Jack Bauer! If you enjoy action packed shows where you can't wait to see what happened next then this is the show for you! | Nine |
This show started off promising and then each episode got consistently better introducing new and kwerky characters, I personally enjoyed the 2004 adaptation and this has some sprinkles of that in this series with also whole heap of new things to be explored and as a first season it has delivered i would have liked a darker tone to be cast similar to the movie but its still enjoyable for the most part and the child performances really surprised me and I appricated there presence, Its definitely not for everyone but give a try and you might find yourself having a lot of fun with this series. HAVE A WATCH YOU MIGHT JUST LOVE IT!! | Ten |
This series defines a new low of viewership,censorship and producers. Hats off to actors and directors though. I don't understand the keenness to introduce gore even though not required in plenty of the scenes. Regardless, the dialogues and acting kept me hooked on till the end. Season 1 and 2 went pretty well. Finale/Season 3 could have been better. | Seven |
Growing up, I loved Weird Al Yankovic. His slapstick humor, his music, and all of his other shenanigans. So it's easy to say that I had high hopes for this film. The film started off great, made me laugh quite a few times, and was obviously not intending to be serious, as Weird Al himself hints at the beginning. It was funny and engaging in the beginning, had some celebrity appearances, and the storyline was easy to follow. But as the movie went along, unfortunately the humor seemed to get repetitive, dull, and honestly...a little boring and unamusing. It got to the point where I was wondering when the movie was going to end. I didn't hate the movie, but I also didn't love it, and kind of expected better. | Four |
This had all the great elements and concepts but the execution and pacing was sloppy and inappropriate for a story like this. I will not say I hated it but I also understand the people who said they did. This is nothing like Dark which was quite suspenseful even in the monologues and conversations while this felt...pointless. And finally when the point was revealed and the pace is picked up in the final few mins the season is over and evidently there is no way to what happens since netflix has canceled it. The saving grace could have been the characters and they spent the entirety of 8 episodes being lost in translation. The story had promise which is why the 6.5 stars. But it was not enough. | Seven |
I have no words. Pratik Gandhi has played Harshad Mehta the way it seems so magical, so real. This series has been made fantastically. Everyone have their role to perfect. Cinematography is outstanding. The stock market world, the 80s the 90s , the businesses, the culture, the politics, money, scam, you won't get to watch these things in any movie or series. This is completely a new experience to watch. I loved the role of Harshad Mehta, Ashwin Mehta and his friend from Stock Market the Seth. Hated Sucheta Dalal to a great extent. I would watch this series sometime again. It's once in a lifetime work. Hats off to the team! | Nine |
The direction and acting is amazing but it is very difficult for a person who is not envolved in bse and related fields. The technicalities z processes and activities those are carried out in stock market..... understanding this is a bit difficult. And if you don't understand what is this,why is this happening, why did he do this..? Ect.... U cant enjoy it whole heartedly. | Seven |
There is no way that you could leave Dark out of your head while watching it, which is exactly what the creators tried and Netflix put their money into but the reality is it's only gone the opposite. This time toying with the audience's brain caused a real headache. It was a good story, very atmospheric and full of symbolism, rabbit holes, and mysteries. Those could have been answered in half of the number of episodes without dragging into painfully long scenes of button pressing, plug switching etc. Watch if you are too bored with the normal regular universe so that you start asking questions about time & reality. | Seven |
Honestly? Very average. The start is okay. But the story is predictable and increasingly uninteresting. There are no redeeming qualities to lift this above mediocrity. Cinematography is average, Story is predictable. I'm very puzzled by the very positive 10s. | One |
The wonderfully whimsical Tim Burton was the perfect choice to bring a contemporary twist to the familiar tale of Willy Wonka. Unfortunately, it never really works as well as it should. Perhaps it's because we already know the story, or because Burton just doesn't translate as well when he's trying to be cute rather than weird. In particular, the musical numbers from the Oompa-Loompas, the strange little people who work in the chocolate factory, seem so out of place. Still, there is a lot that clicks, from the colorful scenery and characters to the apt performances from the child actors and Johnny Depp, who was well cast as the eccentric candy man. Children are bound to love it, but those expecting vintage Burton or a tongue-in-cheek nod to the original 1971 version will be disappointed. | Six |
Boring and goes slow and everyone are going mad over this bad series Acting 100 Should have stopped at 5 or 6 episode Sacred games was better. | Five |
I've come here after completing S1 and have so much praise for this show. It's absolutely worth watching. If you're easily bored because you're a victim of today's instant gratification problem, then this show is 100% not for you. It's meant to be a slow burn and to keep you wondering what the heck is going on, which is a good thing! If it's confusing to you or feels inaccessible the first watch, watch it again! Some TV shows and films are not meant to be understood the first time around. Comparing it to Dark-> Yes, it's not as good, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Of course it's not going to live up to the masterpiece that is Dark. That kind of story telling amazingness only happens ever so often and we are lucky the the creators of Dark made another fantastic show for us. I swear, ppl don't know how to appreciate the time and effort filmmakers/directors put into making shows anymore. If you have a better idea on how the show should be written, then write about it in detail in your review, don't just give empty complaints. Overall- you should watch this show. It's engaging, aesthetically pleasing, dark, psychological, and just mind-bendingly fun. | Eight |
Sumanth and dilqueer salman acting as army officers was bad. They don't have muscle and they did not show the muscle of an Indian Army. Songs were dragged. Love story was not touching. | Five |
The casting and performances by all were outstanding, especially Bautista and Norton, and I really liked the setting in Greece, but I feel the ending ruined what could've been a better sequel. There certainly was some creative ideas in the narrative, and even though the start was slow and tedious, it did get better when Benoit Blanc started to unravel the mystery. However, the unravelling was too as-a-matter-of-factly and too convenient in its set-up. And normally I'd be fine with that, because the few twists were a nice touch, but then right after the mystery was solved, the ridiculous antics just became too unbelievable and quite frankly, unnecessary. Still, and enjoyable one-time watch, especially if you enjoyed the first one. | Seven |
Let me start by saying I grew up with the book series, so I was prepared to (at least partially) dislike the tv series under the notion that "The book is always better". Well, I was delightfully surprised by the quality of the show: first of all, the casting is excellent --something that rarely happens with book adaptations. The black humor of the books is also flawlessly conveyed and even enhanced, I cannot recommend this show enough! It is very well-paced, beautifully shot and perfectly adapted for the now adult fans of the books to enjoy the story once again. The second season is even better than the first, which was also a great success. It deservess a 10/10 rating, I'd rate it even higher if I could! | Ten |
Honestly , i tried to watch this Series a couple of times, but stopped after a few episodes again. Story is meh and also the characters are not good and often embarrasing. Honestly , EVERYTHING that made Avatar- The last Airbender so Unique, so special and so damn good are completly missing here. Hard to believe its from the same creators..... Well, at least we have still the original Series i can only advice to anyone. | Two |
The movie is simply amazing. I watched the movie years ago and is my all time favourite. The animations are splendid and songs are heart touching. I still listen to the songs sometimes. The voice over artists did their jobs brilliantly. Watching this movie will surely give you goosebumps. The movie simplifies the original Ramayana to a great extent. This was done to make this movie appeal to the International audience. Producers have done extensive research on the topic. This is quite visible in the intricate details present in the movie. Great collaboration by Indians and Japs. A must watch for everybody and a good introduction to Hinduism and Indian culture. | Ten |
As a faithful Lemony Snicket fan reading all 13 of his amazing books on this Series of Unfortunate Events AND watching the movie, I must say- the dialogue and work is vague, dry, and an dishonest misinterpretation of Lemony Snicket's work. Count Olaf bothered me the most as his acts were very awkward and I felt as if his role was just 'trying too hard'. The whole direction was not what I expected. As excited as I was to watch these series, I could not get past 3 episodes before feeling sad for everyone who thought this Netflix original was "AMAZING" as they are missing out the wonderful work within the book series itself. Never again will I watch another episode of this Ta'e show again. | One |
Please, please no more remakes of what were once great movies. Kenneth Branagh has gone from bad to worse with this. Everything is so false about it, the cgi so bad. Acting is terrible, as is cast. Why do people want to make remakes of movies which were truly the best. | Two |
This movie started off promising. It had very strong Walk Hard vibes. The part with his dad and getting the accordion were funny. The illicit polka party was hilarious. In fact the first, I don't know, 30-45 minutes were good, the pool party scene was great. Then he takes LSD from Dr. Demento and goes insane. He thinks he wrote Eat it before MJ recorded Beat it. He starts drinking, he starts dating Madonna of all people. The entire plot line devolves into I'm not a real artist because I only do parodies. Is this some sort of self loathing on Weird Al's part? People became his fans because of his parodies, but he did write original songs too. They don't cover any of his other songs, the music videos, his movie or his TV show. He kills Pablo Escobar and Madonna takes Escobar's place. This made no sense. Madonna was HUGE in the 80's she would never have done this. As a Madonna and Michael Jackson fan, the movie felt like a dis-service to both of them. They also make fun of Prince, and I didn't get why? Gangsta's paradise came out in 1995, Amish Paradise in 1996, yet Al died in 1985? Was this just a weird continuity error or what? Hot mess of a film. Also Daniel Radcliffe was horribly miscast. Yes I get the movie itself was a parody, but unlike Walk Hard, it failed miserably. | Three |
Thanks to Bollywood for making such kind of movie. An abstract, artistic and full of emotions which portrays real life of Banaras. Film touches delicate issues of life and depicts how expression of those emotions could be dangerous especially in a small town in India. Story revolves around two youths when their life gets changed by death of someone close. But at the end, they understand the cycle of life and death and just tries to move on their life (which I suppose happened, because there's no proper ending of this movie and it was intentional!) Dialogues and songs are completely resonate with the theme of movie. Overall one of the epic movie of recent times with realistic story which leaves viewers to think about the ending and life!! A must watch non commercial realistic movie! | Nine |
Chevy Chase's finest comedy. It's the part that he really sunk his teeth into. It's a perfect blend of humor, mystery and drama. Although Chase gets more mileage out of it because of the laughs, it's an intriguing character in all respects. Michael Ritchie directs nicely and the supporting cast works well, particularly Libertini as Fletch's noisy and brassy editor in chief. This is a film that is filled with more classic one liners than any film in the 1980's. It's one that makes us miss the old Chase and wonder why he's planning to make yet another "Vacation" movie. We miss you, Chevy! | Eight |
One of the worst movies I have seen. I kept waiting for the story to evolve but the same characters kept coming up all the time and just started to bother me. The weirdness just confused me and did not make any sense at all. It is like an accident for some I guess. You can't look away, but that was never the case for me. So no thank you no! Can't believe there are so many people who enjoy it.. this once again shows me that all humans are different when it comes to entertainment. Good for them! | Two |
The quality of both tv and audience dropped so much from 2005-2012, the level of writing is 1/10, character development is non present, instead we got toilet humor, burp and fart in face jokes by a mentaly retarted kid, "cool" laser beams and mecha fight scenes(which doesnt make any sense in the context of the avatar world and the 4 elements) and the viewers even dont care, how this trash of a tv series gets ratings like 8-9?.Watching this i felt like my gray cells were permanently under attack. | One |
I don't get how it has so many good reviews and good rating. I'm half way into the first episode and it's unwatchable. Acting, conversations, the look of the whole series - such obvious and fake green screen... i don't know how two main adult actors accepted this roles and put this on their resumes. | One |
Starting from the ground work and preparation means how the technical teams should behave or how the performance of the tactical aspect on the screen to have its' own charm to the accurate execution of this show is marvelous. Salute to the people had been dedicated to such a massive project. Every minute details in It shows itThis shows perfectly how the people from the law enforcement department and such agencies put their lives in harm's way to save the common man with such selflessness.. I must say every body associated with this show whether It might be from the development team or the audience of the show truely feels this show is an examplary source of inspiration. At last for Kiefer Sutherland can't find the appropriate and sufficient words to express gratitude for leading the show of course along with the other members of the team, over these years. That's a very precious legacy you people created for us. Thank you people again. | Nine |
Rian Johnson has done it again this is one of the best murder mystery films out to screen, excellently crafted with a twist which while hilarious caught me off guard completely, Daniel Craig is just an incredible actor, his performance as blanc is immensely entertaining, he is my favorite on screen detective to appear on screen, the movie just like it's predecessor breaks down the murder mystery genre while staying faithful to the films that came before it's an homage to those earlier films in the genre while breaking down the cliches that have plagued the genre for a few years now, this is what a modern murder mystery looks like, miles above murder on the orient express and murder on the Nile which is full of said Cliches, Glads onion is a must watch. | Seven |
For a movie now going on 22 years, Fatal Attraction is a still a worthwhile thriller. Glenn Close gives a great performance. I felt like I had seen the movie already due to the numerous references to it in pop-culture throughout the years. As such I was probably not as shocked as I otherwise would have been. Nonetheless there are still some genuinely disturbing moments in this. One thing I have always wondered is why Glenn Close is the temptress in this, as good an actress as she is, I can't find her the least bit attractive. Although, in this she is actually done up to look quite pretty and I think another actress could've pulled off the psychopath woman-scorned act quite like she did. Speaking of which, how many hot sex scenes has Michael Douglas been involved in? Sharon Stone and Demi Moore if you don't mind. Lucky bastard! Anyway, he was good in this too. Overall, not a bad flick. | Six |
I couldn't be happier to hear there was a series coming out seeing as I'm a big fan of the movie and watched it many times. First reaction was the awful filming. Don't know if this was on purpose but for 2017-2019 it could have looked a lot better. The acting is forced and weird and I just can't wrap my head around it. Stupid humour too. Waste of the actors time in my opinion and it didn't have to be made, just watch the film. | One |
Yet another bollywood movie which justifies Islamic terrorism. They just bring in any number of stories to justify ppl killing in the name of religion! I mean, how many sane people would kill any number of "kafirs" just because somebody else troubled them? Cinematography wise, it is average and so is the direction. Acting is good part of this film so is the plot but ruined by agenda. | Two |
Okay, so the bottom line is "harshad mehta" was involved in most of the wrong doing but was he the only guy responsible ? No, Never. In a scam like huge as 1992 shown in this series, it was never one person befooling the entire nation. This show has 2 names written all over it, pratik gandhi (harshad mehta) and the creator himself Hansal mehta. What a crazy show he has pulled off, no big actors with huge following but bunch of actors who have shown their par excellence in this 9 episode long series. this is the best work of hansal mehta that he has pulled of in his career. From the scene 1 to the last pratik gandhi has stole the show. what a great addition to the film industry. The strongest point in this very complicated series filled with so many jargons is the fact is it's screenplay. to the point, no nonsense, no strong language without any use, no vulgarity and just a focus on story-line. a Strong screenplay and good direction is always the key to the film/ series and SCAM 1992 is here to proof. don't think just watch it, you love it and want to watch it in just one go. too good to be made for an Indian audience which focuses only on one thing a good meme templates, which this series is definitely not. | Ten |
Mad, nonsensical, irritating, baffling but utterly brilliant. Compulsive viewing. I loved it. | Ten |
I want to enjoy this show... what it's reaching for I find appealing, but I get frustrated watching it. I feel like I know the outcome of every scene, and the punchline of every joke... but the show needlessly stretches out every moment. I think the extended timing is supposed to be part of the humor and tone, but it lacks surprises and tension. I'm sure the cast and crew had a good time making this show, as there's lots of creativity in the sets and costume, but watching it is like reading a run-on sentence where the lack of punctuation is the joke. | Five |
Fatal Attraction has decent acting and so-so cinematography, but the story is an incredibly slow-paced tale about an entirely unlikable and unrelatable woman. Aside from the sparse moments where her stupidity made me angry, this movie was a snoozefest. | Two |
Netflix most awaited series following the success of 'Dark', was mind bending. It's a good mystery thriller and keeps you guessing where the story is heading to. This time the creators have played around with the concept of Reality vs Illusion. Some scenes appear without logic but the premise is based on the same, and clears the air on the final reveal. Some qns are left unanswered (or) still confusing after the series 1 conclusion. The music is eery and reminds you of 'Dark'. The plot twists work very well but the main upset is where the protagonist Maurice is heading to as the narrative jumps to different genres. | Eight |
I want to like this show. I really do. And I know you want to have this show close to the books, but my god if I have to see another episode where no one can tell who the bloody hell Count Olaf is I am seriously going to have a stroke. This show is not for people with high anxiety and just can't deal with shows playing off on your disbelief. Each episode is basically the same. The kids are great, but I can't keep watching the show like this. I just can't take it. | Six |
Let me start with the bottomline- the title is worth watching. A true rating is about 6.5. The huge population of India and a huge population of people affiliated with political parties with an agenda to create perception of other parties, has made the reliability of such ratings very risky. The series is based on the personal feelings of a reporter. What could be wrong? She thinks that Rajdeep Sardesai is an ****. She maybe right but just an opinion. Second, the whole premise is being propagated as some kind of a proof that India had nothing good before the present time. What we should have learned from this and other scams is to keep the government and such officers on tight leash. Rather, this is being used to cause even more damage and silence anyone asking questions. | One |
Right from the opening shots (hell, even the theme song kicks in adrenaline like no other!) and voiceover 'Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story' takes the viewer on an epic journey - no nonsense, no vulgarity, no melodrama, no big actors or names - just a strong focus on the screenplay and excellent direction - the acting is top-notch - shows that talent and craft are not the heirloom of aristocracy. | Nine |
This show is ok and I give five star moral of the story scam is never doing our life | Five |
This is slightly overrated in IMDB. People just give higher rating because it's already rated high. Series is good but becomes bore sometimes during episodes 4-6. 1 dialogue 'risk hai toh ishk hai' is repeated always and becomes irritating later. Harshad always talks with proverbs. Funny things is whenever the Harshad deals with bank officials and they don't agree with him, he tells proverbs and they agree to deal with him. This happens with all people who deal with him. The series shows harshad mehta from late 70's. Till he gets caught, harshad mehta and all other characters look same. For more than 15 years in storyline none of the characters looks have changed. They look exactly same in 1978 and also in 1992. Harshad Mehta is made to look like he is an innocent guy who just used loopholes in system. Financial terms are explained very well. Prathik has done great job as Harshad Mehta. | Seven |
I really wanted to enjoy this movie and even tolerated the minute Roku commercials but just got way too silly. Really felt I was wasting my time. I have my doubts about the Madonna relationship and the nonsensical Madonna kidnapping by Escobar. Too much and just not interested in all that. Fun actor cameos and supporting cast, Rainn Wilson and Julianne Nicholson. Daniel Radcliffe played a somewhat convincing Weird Al however he's much shorter than Weird Al himself. Quinta Brunson was a fun Oprah. That's really it. Somewhat disappointed and expected more. Not really much to laugh after the first half of the movie. | Three |
Completely far from the novel. Characters have been invented and nothing to do with the time it was written. Why are the writers leaving behind the good works and adapting to their WOK audiences. All these writers are bastarrising good works for the minority. | Two |
I'm not sure how this movie generated over $320mil and nominated for best picture. To me it was just an average suspense thriller. The first hour and a half were incredibly slow. Things really picked up towards the end though. I would've liked to have seen the alternate ending. Again to me just an average thriller. There was some good acting and a solid plot but just moved along a little slow for my tastes. | Six |
I want to compare this show with Breaking Bad. Pratik Gandhi is similar to Bryan Cranston. He even talks like him, stopping with pauses, controlled display of emotion. He convinces us with his arrogance , his pride , his frustrations first being middle class , and his strength in the face of odds. He is a great romantic lead as well , with his relationship with his wife a selling point of the show. Shreya Dhanwanthary as journalist Sucheta Dalal was a strong female lead that Indian cinema desperately needed. Rajat Sharma as honest CBI officer K. Madhavan pulls off his honesty with ease and provides the show with a much needed grip in the crucial moment when it could have gotten boring. While a lot of people have been rating this show in a exaggerated manner and altough the show is gripping but it definitley not better than Breaking Bad or Chernobyl. The cinematography, which although is far better than anything India has seen , simply does not match Hollywood. The strong points of the show are acting and dialogues and even those are not as great as Breaking Bad. By writing this I am just revealing the truth. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the show thoroughly. Before this I was watching The Witcher and picking us Scam 1992 in the middle I finished scam before it. | Seven |
I was very disappointed with this film. After all the hooplah that surrounded this movie I thought I was in for a real pulse-pounding thriller. The movie was ploddingly paced and numbingly predictable. I "saw" everything coming long before it happened, and I was disgusted with the predictable ending. Another movie outdone by it publicity. | Three |
It's not worth more than 8 points It's not worth more than 8 points It's not worth more than 8 points It's not worth more than 8 points | Eight |
I am sure indians might be aware about Harshad Mehta but as a neutral audience it was like the "Narcos" but based on "Share market". The reason I am saying this because I was rooting for Pablo initially in the series then they have shown the plane blast which changes the viewers perception. Similar prop used in "hanshal" as well probably use of "saving the cat moment". Lovely series. Recommended | Eight |
Very fast .indulding audience at every step. Jack bower is really jack of all trades .It includes action ,suspence .un expected twists and turns .Infact i have not seen many series like this .its one of its kind but needs tempo to build and maintain .At the same time its not boring .At least it didnt bored me for a second and inspite of being lenghty with so much seasons and episodes i put all my efforts to make as much room in my schedule as much as i can ,just to watch and complete it .If another season is launched it will be much more better with lots of technolological advancements regarding the gadgetry and uptodate scenarios. | Nine |
Let me start off by saying that this show was terrible. I watched for about 15 minutes before I turned it off in shear disgust. I read this series as a kid and to watch this show is disrespectful to the series. They butchered the show. Terrible acting, not entertaining at all, extremely boring. Awful just straight awful. I am extremely disappointed in this. This was such a great series to read, even the movie was decent but the Netflix version just shouldn't have been created. The terrible attempts at humor just are not even close to being funny. This could have been so much better if they just tried. I do not recommend watching this at all. | One |
Entire show failed to capture my attention right from episode 1 and 2. I decided not to continue as every frame every scene is so depressingly un-aesthetic. It is not pleasing to eyes or mind in anyway. Neither its connected with me. Its pathetic. | One |
I love mysteries because they are stories that require you to think but hardly anyone does them anymore. So am grateful when someone does. I first saw this film when it was given a limited theatrical release in November 2022 I took some time to gather my thoughts about it. But my opinion hasn't changed. It was so blatantly obvious to me that I was so hoping it was just a red herring. But alas it was not. Only one part of the story pleasantly surprised me. But the rest I saw coming. As I said I love mysteries and hardly anyone makes them anymore. So I'm glad someone did. I just wish there had been more intelligence in the writing. | Five |
The Books are outstanding, and most of the material comes from there, but the movie is funny as heck! | Nine |
I love Weird Al, love his music and was really excited to watch this. It started out like a documentary of his life and I was hoping for a movie like Bohemian Rhapsody that just told me the story of Weird Al. Some of the early stuff didn't totally make sense of what I had heard or read but I thought maybe I had read it wrong. Then Doctor demento gave him some LSD the whole movie went off the rails . It became silly and my wife and I thought oh this must be all part of that LSD trip and he will wake up and get back to the movie I thought we were watching. But no it ends with him getting shot from a hit from the new drug Lord Madonna Stupid. Don't waste your time sadly. | Three |
Only just got round to watching this on Netflix and after sitting through three episodes it seems I haven't missed much. I have never wanted to punch a main character so much as the whining, 'troubled' character Will Graham. The distorted time-lines and nonsensical incidents, stag daydreams, more stag daydreams, a killer shooting a cop in broad daylight and then leaving a witness so he can be traced, walking into a hospital and managing to get an orderly's outfit and moving a patient without any questions being asked... It's awful, just awful. | One |
I suppose if u are a big enough fan of Weird Al, or u enjoyed UHF, u might like this movie. I was prepared to suspend disbelief, but you really can't with this movie. They make it impossible and keep raising the ridiculous stakes. It's like a terrible SNL skit that goes on for two hours. BTW - his dad was actually supportive and Evan Rachel Wood sucks the energy out of every scene as Madonna. It's like they did this on purpose. It has it's (brief moments) where it's at it's mpost honest, but mostly, It's 20% good & 80% ridiculous. Not ridiculous in a good way, but ridiculous in a BORING way. I might not finish watching this because I could simply care less what happens in this fake garbage biopic. Good trolling Weird Al. I loved your music but HATED your movie. | Three |
I just watched this movie and I think that this is a must watch for all connoisseurs of Gangland cinema. The movie recounts the story of a forgettable Friday in the life of movie. It also shows the meticulous planning of the blasts by mastermind Tiger Menon. What I especially like is the first face-off between KK Menon playing the police officer investigating the case and Badshah Khan played by Aditya Srivastava. Badshah Khan mentions that Allah or Khuda is on their side. At this, KK says that if Allah was at your side, you would not have left that Maruti Van near Siemens. And then the dialog that follows is captivating. Great job Anurag Kashyap - I am going to recommend this movie to everyone I know and tell them that if they want a taste of reality and are sick of Karan Johar and Salaam-E-Ishq kind of movies, this is the real deal. Kudos. | Ten |
I may be different from other reviewers and I respect every once choice. Personally I didn't like this web series apart from tittle BGM. It's very dragging and I didn't even feel like finishing it. | Three |
Loses the GRIP but still a very good series AND better than many others in the Indian Series list and proves that OTT is only for real talent. | Eight |
Why do people insist on crapping on something that required no fixing. Avatar was perfect. Korra is garbage. That is all. | One |
Only worthy part of the film is the beautiful cinematography and slick scene settings. Kenneth Branagh never fails to disappoint with overacting and excessive scene stealing. I would love to like Gal Gadot because of her beauty, but she belongs more appropriately in a super hero movie. The story was rewitten to appeal the shallowist of movie goers than fans of the twisting detective story. The choice of 30's blues in the score is an unlikley choice for the British members on this trip. The comfort with which the races mix is as anachronistic as is the dialogue. I wish Branagh would leave poor Agatha Christie alone. | Four |
First I should say Michael Douglas is perfect in his role, a role he would reprise to varying extents in Basic Instinct, Disclosure, and A Perfect Murder. However, and this is just my opinion and I'm not trying to be a smart aleck, Glenn Close looks like a man with a bad wig on. Come to think of it, I don't know too many women named Glenn... This bothered me throughout my viewing and I never could believe her as the disturbed seductress. The rest of the cast was serviceable enough. But because I never bought into Ms(?) Close's character I can only give the movie a 6/10. | Six |
In case you've not heard of Dark yet, it's mentioned a lot in the other reviews, because this series are of the same creators. I highly recommend watching this first, as Dark will set your expectations too high. I did watch this first and now I understand why Dark is superior, but that doesn't mean this show is bad. Its decent, definitely better than other shows released around the same time period (looking at you, rings of power :P ) Both of them have similar things in common, the dark mystery can be seen in both. Although this one is much faster paced and not as deep as Dark, it still managed to do it pretty well. | Eight |
The "brilliance" of the film, I suppose, is that Glenn Close is such an unattractive woman (great actress, but a real dog with virtually no sex appeal) and the wife, Anne Archer, is so warmly beautiful. This is the point: a man will irrationally have a fling, not based on the looks of the lover. (although we are given subtle hints that his wife treats him like a little boy, and it seems the "honeymoon" portion of their marriage was over when they had the child. The director gives us a lot of symbolism, especially the use of the family dog, to represent domestic stability, and it's a great dog, with the best tail-wagging ever. Closes' name, "Forrest" represents the tangled, hidden depths of her sick personality. The movie is slick and cunning; every camera angle telegraphs it's unsubtle subtlety. It's ripe for parody as it has been. Douglas has never been sexier (even when he coos at the doggie for doing "good business") and Close is a revelation, truly frightening. | Six |
When Kenneth pretends he speaks English with French accent it reminds me of the great serial allo! Allo! There it was funny. Kenneth is ridiculous. Overall one more disgraceful adaptation of agatha's books from him. Overall mediocre with some moments of good acting, but in general it hurts my eyes and ears. I hope that I will not do it again to myself and allow me this sorry experience. I felt awful after the first film. This one was equal torture. Two whole hours of a modern adaptation of a classic. Some great actors and a ridiculous fake mustache gave a result that should be voted in the golden raspberries awards. | Four |
One of the more popular and provocative shock (shlock?) thrillers at the time was also one of the more effective arguments against infidelity, up to a point. The living nightmare of an otherwise happily married lawyer following his illicit one night stand with a lonely young woman is every adulterer's worst dream of deception and exposure, and for maybe two-thirds of the film the plot is genuinely gripping and even psychologically sound. But the interesting reversal of assumptions (with irresponsible husband Michael Douglas becoming a victim of female aggression) is lost in the contrived climactic bloodbath, during which jilted lover Glenn Close is transformed from a bitter, neurotic woman into a psychotic she-devil (her loft is even located above what looks like a slaughterhouse). Alfred Hitchcock would have blanched at the bathtub finale, with its knives and guns and cheap thrill scare tactics, but let's face it: the film never intended to go anywhere else. | Four |
Korra's struggle is hard to overcome.Because her struggle isn't just with villains,also her struggle is with her own mentality and sense.I think Aang's story is funnier.But Korra's story is more melancholic and deeper.Also Korra is one of us.The villains have a more purpose and reasons to being a bad .in The Legend of Korra, The ideologies of the villains are very meaningful and true. I liked so much, soundtracks, emotional moments and off course Korra. It was just perfect except for a few plot holes | Ten |
Obviously the topic of the movie itself is so grave, and the controversy around its release. Star of the movie is Pawan Malhotra who has acted really well as Tiger. Kay Kay, as usual, has no acting skills. Same cauliflower expression in all scenes. | Five |
Guys...don't gets Overhyped seeing the ratings! It would be so enjoyable at first! But after episode 4...It's gonna make you bored! U already know the ending...then why u should waste your time by some unnecessary dialogue!!! | Five |
This show really grew on me. Expect more adult topics in this show. It is different from the original Avatar, but it greatly stands on its own. The creators did a great job. | Ten |
Not as good as the rating i don't know what is the so much fuss about it. Acting is really good and nothing extraordinary about the series | Seven |
One of the slowest movies with no conclusion. What was the intent behind creating this movie? | Two |
Fletch is a steady stream of hilarious wise cracks, silliness, and physical comedy bits that showcase the talent of Chevy Chase as a comedic actor. The story is secondary to the comedy, but is far from being void of interest and provides a nice platform for the comedy, which takes center stage. It's a very funny movie. | Eight |
Good: This movie is pretty funny. The songs were good because they were real Weird Al songs. Bad: This movie is supposed to be based on the true story of Weird Al Yankovic, but it only included 2 real things that happened in his life. Everything else was super fictionalized and even though I found it funny at times, it just went way too far. There was also bad usage of CGI at one point. This movie was just not the right entertainer for me this night. The night before I watched an all-time great movie so maybe it was because of that. But.. This movie is entertaining and really funny at times because of how big of a rip off it is from Weird Al's real story. | Four |
1899 is very similar to Dark. If you enjoyed Dark you will without a doubt enjoy this new series as well. It's dark, mysterious, and well-made. The acting is fantastic and there are many intriguing characters who are already well-introduced in the first episode. There are many characters of different nationalities which is something that could have ruined the show, but it did not. It makes the show even more interesting to watch. Like Dark, 1899 is intense and very intriguing. Especially before the mysteries are solved. It's a new world with new rules which we do not understand yet. The score is similar to Dark - great, uncomfortable, and tense. | Eight |
The show stands on it's own, a wonderful silly and atmospheric piece of work. It has well written jokes and a good story line. It will take you on an incredible adventure as we get to follow the Baudelaire orphans and their beloved count Olaf. It has a bit of dark but yet silly humor, and all the actors give an outstanding performance! There were very few flaws and one thing that did bother was from time to time the jokes were a bit dry. But most of the time it was an absolutely wonderful and hysterical adventure! I can proudly recommend this Netflix original to anyone who wants a bit a of a different story or just wants to watch a great show with laughter and excitement through out! To all those who were a fan of the books I can say that you will enjoy each and every episode! 9/10 | Nine |
When I first saw this movie in the 1980s, I thought it was really a great movie. Recently I had an opportunity to watch this movie again and, alas, this time I thought the movie was really contrived and dumb. Not only the story ridiculous, the acting was way overdone, or should I say overbaked or overcooked (like the spaghetti in the movie). Further, I kept asking myself, "What are they actually arguing about?" I also said to myself, "Who cares?" A married man and a single woman have sex, the woman gets pregnant and wants to the man to take responsibility and when he brushes her off she gets angry. So what? A man and a woman squabbling! Wow, what an original idea! (I'm trying to be sarcastic.) The producers of this movie use this shallow and unoriginal storyline as a pretext for showing scene after scene of gratuitous violence which is intended to shock and which after a short while becomes so tedious and predictable that it renders the movie almost laughable. After a while I thought I was watching Elsa Lancaster and Boris Karloff in "Bride of Frankenstein." However, I did feel sorry for the little girl and her bunny rabbit. That was sad. | Four |
The movie started out interesting, but eventually turned into a parody of his real life. I am not sure how much of this movie was based on true facts versus fiction. I do know for sure that Al did not assassinate Pablo Escobar or date Madonna. It was an interesting comedy, but I certainly wouldn't call it a biography. If you looking to watch this movie for anything other than stupid comedy, you will be disappointed. As the movie went on, I was continuously checking ti see how much time was left before it was over. The acting wasn't bad, it just the script wasn't well written. They took this movie to extremes that I don't believe were necessary. | Four |
I gave the first 2 seasons 9/10 or higher. Amazing. Recommend them to anyone, so good! Season 3 is just talking. One of the most boring shows I've seen. On episode 8, and thinking of just giving in. | Seven |
Been watching a LOT of Indian movies specifically Telugu language ones lately--many of them surprisingly good, but this one was only so-so. As melodramatic love stories go, this one stays pretty close to form. I like the premise--a soldier (Ram) receives letters from the mysterious Sita claiming to be his wife. But this one does very little different from expectation--there are echoes of The Notebook and pretty much every well-known love story including Roman Holiday. But while the latter remains a delicious vignette in a princess's life, Sita Ramam drags it out and overstays its welcome. Is it watchable? Sure. But ultimately forgettable. | Five |
I thought that I might be able to get some actual insight into Al's life but he has kept the curtain of stupidity firmly in place and revealed nothing of his true heart. He may have made a fortune as a parodying stooge but to really draw people in, you have to let them see your "actual" heart. This movie fails completely at that. Why Evan Rachel Wood ever agreed to further demean herself like this is beyond me when she could use an actual meaningful performance for her resume at a time like this in her career. Don't know why I'm surprised. Really thought it's a big let down and I am just down right disappointed. Blah, meh, who cares... | Three |
Awesome series with perfect casting!! This series has set a benchmark of perfect casting, perfect acting. Background music is a "Bull". Pratik Gandhi, what a talent you are!!! Hats off to you Lala | Ten |
The ending ruins the entire story. To make a comparison, the first film was much better. The positives: breath-taking cinematography, awesome setting, strong acting. The negatives: the movie feels like a money grab and a weak sequel to the original. This sequel doesn't have the same impact as the first and is quickly forgettable. The Mona Lisa part of the movie is actually annoying. The cameos and Easter eggs are hilarious and help add some personality, but they are obviously not enough to carry the film. The screenplay is abhorrent. The mystery was dumbed down to the point of being ridiculous and insulting. The big twist was so deflating. | Five |
I wanted to like this film and I was really excited to see Netflix pop the notification up that it was out. It was a slow start and just as I thought it was about to get going, it turns into a confusing and unrealistic mess. I thought the acting and actors were great but the whole plot line was just really silly and I also didn't like the fact that there were masks being worn in the film. It just brought back a bit of an uneasy feeling of a time that we'd rather forget. It's a film that I regretfully wouldn't recommend to watch and would rather have spent time doing something else. It's a no from me! | Five |
I binge watched all the seasons of this show back in 2011-12, but last week when a friend said he is watching it now, I realised I still remember some of the seasons even now. Having watched countless web and TV series since, this one has a special place for its sheer outstanding writing, narration and portrayal on screen. Seasons 5 and 8 are my favourites. | Nine |
I rated Fatal Attraction (1987) 6/10. This director made a whole living out of making movies about NYC people who just can't help themselves have affairs even though they live charmed lives. At least this one is creepy. | Six |
Some funny parts but the idea wears thin after the 20 min mark. There's enough rea life truth in this movie that I'd rather have seen a REAL bio-pic WITH comedy. Hearing Al's voice out of Daniel's mouth is just weird to me. It's a so-so comedy with a very THIN premise. A one note joke - at least the cast was 'good' and there are a LOT of comedy faces in this - Toby, Thomas Lennon...etc Giving this movie a 10 is just absurd. I've been a lifelong fan of Al's too but this fandom nonsense has to stop... This movies isn't a 10 JUST BECAUSE you like Weird Al. What happened to people, where did their brains go? | Three |
This story doesn't spoon feed the audience like other hindi movies or series tends to do.. good story telling and great acting.. but I personally think this isn't a 9.5 rating series.. | Eight |
If one were to compare the 2022 version with the 1978 evergreen classic of the same name then this latest one is an extreme and massive disappointment with terrible acting by everyone in the film including KB. However if one were to judge on its own then at best it's a below average movie with absolutely nothing praiseworthy at all. 4/10. | Four |
This show is so so awful. Don't waste your time, watch the movie instead. | One |
By comparison, this is multiple levels below recent mainstream mysteries Knives Out and Murder on the Orient Express. The mystery has some intrigue but not much. The pacing is off and it takes a while (over an hour) before the mystery actually begins. I'm not a fan of the tone or the music. The actors are frequently over-the-top, sometimes reaching cartoonish territory. Overall, this movie is not put together very well. And I found it only mildly entertaining when I wasn't bored. (1 viewing, 2/14/2022) | Four |
They tried, yes, they did, but what's most annoying about this movie is the below average acting performances. French and Dawn's appearance (not funny) dont make things any better. There are lots of silly accents and lots of scenes with over acting. Annoying. More bad:the utter tediousness of this story. It lasts a whopping 2 hours and a bit and this story only starts going after an entire hour. And even then it's quite tedious to watch. No humor. (not my kind) No suspense. Really none at all. What's left? An average detective, really below average... The story: lots of folks travel on a cruiseboat. Someone dies. Who did it? | Four |
The trailer made this movie look pretty good and fun.....but in reality, it really misses the mark....its suppose to be a funny true story of Weird Al Yankovic....but the "comedy" does not land.... AT ALL..And you can tell this was not the true story....they made up a ton of fluff to try to make it interesting....but whoever wrote this movie needs to find a different profession.....I mean, maybe if you are twelve or thirteen this humor might be fine, but otherwise its pretty horrible. I really dont know what else to say besides it is not a good movie... 3/10- Well they tried....but they failed miserably. | Three |
Gonna rate this 5/10 due to lack of giving any answers to what and why things are actually happening. This all started well, with a great kick of mystery included, but the futher you got into it, things just became very wierd for no reason - and any form of answeres to what and why are simply skipped. The grand finale is the most dissapointing part. Cause once You think you actually might get some clearence, things just get even more strange without any reason, and it all ends beeing a even more wierd then the actual mystery. In General the acting and effects are both good, but what does it help if the Main story is one big mess. | Five |
A story of harshad Mehta scam that happens in 1992, as story of stock market and money market scam where official helps them early when they are earning but when problem came they all left harshad mehta, until unless there were profit there was no problem, the enemies and bullies of the market take the big bull down and make a worse situation for everyone, govt this time also let go of real culprit but the real hero which helps the market not to crash in tough times create a market to save the market and country, but lost to what his enemies are doing it. | Seven |
Good series, but not awesome. Good story and pace. Shot like a soap opera. Acting is from great to not so good. I give it six stars. I guess the high ratings(lots of tens) comes from Indians. I guess it's like the stock market in the TV-show, You overwhelm the market and make it a bubble(with reviews). Overall a good series but not really a top notch. It's not anywhere near Breaking Bad in quality(as some mention). | Six |
I saw this again on TV today, and I can't believe the movie was made that long ago. I must say I like Michael Douglas, and he sure used up a lot of energy trying to stop that marriage breaker, the psychotic Glenn Close, in those brutal fights they had. What a corker this is! The scary parts are all preluded by the wonderful music, and the acting is superb! I found myself yelling out loud "kill the son-of-abitch!" The kidnapping of their little girl on the rollercoaster is very scary, too! 6/10 | Six |
