For all of you praising this show one simple question:
If show has basically only title thats links it to the game (sorry few character looks) why you need that title?
Don't bother we all know that without that title show should tank gloriously.
Show is trying soooo hard to be funny, edgy and it's just pathetic.
THERE IS LIKE 3 MINUTES OF CAR BATTLES IN WHOLE SEASON.
It's just boring watching two main characters "love" story. Even crying is pathetic and so fake. Everything looks really cheap.
And now lets see what Twisted Metal is really about (and no, there are not one spoiler in whole description):
Twisted Metal is a demolition derby that emphasizes the usage of ballistic projectiles, machine guns, mines, and other types of weapons (up to and including satellite-based weapons and nuclear weapons). Players choose a vehicle, and an arena-or a series of arenas in the story mode-to engage in battle with opposing drivers. A variety of weapons and upgrades are obtainable by pick-ups scattered throughout the stage. The last driver alive is the winner.
Although each individual game features its own storyline, they all revolve around the eponymous "Twisted Metal": a vehicular combat tournament hosted once a year. In almost all of the games, the host is a man called "Calypso"; in the series' fourth installment, perennial contestant Sweet Tooth briefly takes over. The general goal is to destroy all opponents; apart from the other contestants, unique vehicles seemingly designed by the host themselves may stand in the competitors' path. The winner is brought before the tournament host, who will grant the contestant a single wish.
The hosts of these games are the persons who are, through arcane means, capable of warping reality itself to grant the wish of the contest winner; however, there is a general "be careful what you wish for" theme in the game series, as nearly all of the winning contestants end up with "not-so-happy" endings, due to the skill and proclivity of the hosts for twisting the words of their wish around-often to deadly effect. The games in the series usually contain a healthy dose of dark humor. | 1 |
The movie opened and 10 minutes in I found myself wondering what I was watching. I knew then this wasn't the same as the first one. I loved the first one, 8/10 for me. This movie was so off the mark. I kept thinking who wrote this, how did it go so wrong and why are these dumb things constantly happening. First one had great story telling, comedy and fantastic action. This had none of that.
Will sadly never watch again. | 3 |
This movie is definitely overrated. And over hyped. I liked Miles and his father and his uncle and that part of the story. I didn't like all the extra superheroes. The story itself was lacking. Whatever this movie was it was not Spiderman. Did not do it for me.If everybody can be the superhero the nobody is really the hero. We don't have 10 Batman's 12 Supermans. | 5 |
Superb film...Actually every seconds we spontaneously expects something when we watch this film but the factor is Something strange happens beyond our expectation.. BGM is superb. | 10 |
Eddie Brock(Hardy, still delivering on the physical, living up to his namesake(as in "Laurel and"), and loving playing Venom) wants to rebuild his career, so it doesn't take much to convince him to meet with imprisoned serial killer Cletus Kasady(Harrelson, who "Knox" it out the park). Maybe he can help find the remaining missing bodies? Unfortunately, this leads to... Carnage.
This is at least as big of a mess as the first one was. It's less ironically fun, because this time it's on purpose. Then again, it is also substantially more enjoyable for that same reason. It's been a long time since I've seen something that had such wild writing. Try to go in knowing as little as possible. You will definitely not guess the places it goes. The comedy is much more successful, with the highlights being Ms Chen(Lu, master of the deadpan. Please give her a spin-off. You don't even have to take her out of her convenience store. Have her just react to bizarre things that happen right in front of her) and Anne(Williams, way more into it this time, which is definitely in part down to the incredible material they give her). It's hard to overstate how hilarious these two are. The action and CG is a lot better. If all you really want out of this is to see these iconic characters in live action, it will deliver on that. If you can roll with how ridiculous it is, as I did, you will be extremely entertained. If you cannot, this is going to exhaust you, and that is the only way that the 88(!) minute running time(if you don't count the end credits, and since those have only one additional scene(which is mindblowing), and it comes soon after they start running, you might as well leave the moment you've seen that one. The cinema staff will be grateful for it) won't fly by, to the point that it'll seem like you just sat down and then the movie ended. In fact, in that case, it will probably feel twice as long as it is, if not more.
This features disturbing content, with a lot of implied violence and gore. I recommend this to anyone who thinks it will be their kind of thing. 7/10. | 7 |
I really liked this series. It was super easy to watch and fun. My biggest complaint- 8 episodes weren't enough. Not just because I wanted more. But bc it felt rushed. I read the book before I watched, so I had certain expectations that weren't fulfilled. I like the addition of characters/more backstory on them, etc... but there was a lot of romance left out and some of the changes were so minor it made no sense why they just didn't stick to the book. Anyway, I just hope that next season doesn't feel as rushed. | 9 |
I really wanted this movie to be decent. But the amount of suspension of disbelief required to watch it was to much. Also confusing editing. The acting seemed flat too. But it was worth a watch and i dpubt i will watch it again though | 4 |
I can start with the word 'Perfect', the best of bollywood movies ever. This has a brilliant story line. The acting has been very inspirational and the direction n screenplay is too good. Worth a watch ( may be few watches ). Motivational and inspiring. Vicky Kaushal has been perfect in this role and have enjoyed this movie a lot. | 10 |
This show is hands down one of my favorite pieces of art. It's hard to find anything to complain about in this series, and to try would be a waste of time. The animation, story, music, action, and humor are all on-point, a rare thing to find in any medium. The world they created is immersive, believable, heartfelt, and inspiring. I will most likely force my future children to watch this, as it teaches hard work, friendship, and facing problems with an open mind as the best way to handle any difficult situation. It follows the hero's journey that everyone knows in one way or another (LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars), but it does it in such a way that feels unique, original, and fresh. Worthwhile for kids, even better for adults. | 10 |
I really much enjoyed this, even there were some unconvincing parts (e.g. "why would we need iodine"). I even believed the main story, even it was much more scary than what we learned in school and what I have read.
There was a great article in a biggest Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat that told how false the plot was. There were exaggeration and even rumors presented in small and big things.
You should enjoy this as entertainment, not as historical lesson. | 8 |
Let's not fall over ourselves too much trying to define the merits and faults of this film and comparing it to 'Iron Man 1.' I'd rather just look at the new one and see if we can tease out any new ideas and angles.
The 'Iron Man' stories begin with the happy union of technology and business, and have a protagonist unlike the meek, altruistic sort of comic book super hero. Tony Stark is the son of a corporate giant, born rich (though unloved), a profligate rogue, a wild playboy. He is the slightly rotten fruit of big-time capitalist success, the second generation that doesn't give a damn and just wants to have fun. However, he is also his father's son, gifted with a gigantic ego and also a genius, and so he has a heroic role forced upon him. Being a valuable commodity, he is kidnapped, and must escape by building a suit of hi-tech body armor instead of the mega-weapon his captors want. He suffers severe heart injuries in the process, thus becoming vulnerable at the same moment that he rises to super power. And with the vulnerability, the genius, and the growing power, he makes it clear that he remains the devil-may-care playboy.
Later Stark is inspired to adopt his extraordinary creation, with him inside it, in the interests of protecting mankind. In the comics the enemy was communism. Now (in the first 'Iron Man' movie) it's terrorism and a rival within Stark Industries who would take it over, the evil Obadiah Stane, played by Jeff Bridges. In 'Iron Man 2,' the enemies are two: a foolish prancing peacock of an upstart industrialist competitor, Justin Hammer (an excellent Sam Rockwell), who wants to eliminate Stark and his company and have his, not Tony's, exo-skeletal weaponry be what the Pentagon exclusively buys and uses; and a dangerous maverick Russian, half criminal, half tech wizard, with bad memories of Tony's father. This individual, Ivan Vanko (a brilliantly used Mickey Rourke), winds up unwillingly serving Justin Hammer, but breaks out on his own in time to do battle with Stark and Hammer, allied.
I think it's safe to say screenwriter Justin Theroux is having some fun with the sacrosanct values of the original Cold War era comic source of Iron Man. Capitalism's worst excesses are mocked through the smugness of Justin Hammer, with his constant preening that's always shown up as pointless, and through Tony's own boasts, most of all the stunner, "I have successfully privatized world peace!" This declaration comes at a donnybrook Senate hearing supervised by a smiling nonentity of a committee chairman (Garry Shandling) at which Stark manages to commandeer the room's visual system and make a mockery of efforts by Iran, North Korea, and Hammer to copy his Iron Man suits. That's a provocative statement. Privatizing warfare (i.e., in Orwellian terms, "world peace") brings to the liberal mind horrible thoughts of Blackwater and its ilk. Such warfare is a definite, real-life Bush era trend. Privatizing world peace, on the other hand, may sound like a good idea if it takes away from nation states their capacity to wage perpetual war. Unfortunately such privatizing would (and does) also undermine the authority of the principled international bodies that attempt to maintain order.
Theroux also has fun this time with foreign threats, as an aspect of Pentagon (and war-industry-promoted) paranoia, which were taken so seriously in the first Iron Man film with its evil Middle Easterners in caves forging weapons. This time the foreign enemy, spouting Russian words and a creditable accent, covered in tattoos, with a pet cockatoo, an S&M outfit, and lashing Formula One racing cars to pieces with electric whips, is...Mickey Rourke! Right out of 'The Wrestler, but looking happy and tan since his recent comeback. But it's hard to say whether the flurry caused by Rourke's deliciously absurd Ivan Vanko is satire on right wing paranoia or the frivolity of spinning out quirky villains à la Ian Fleming (whose politics were not deep, or congruent with today's realities). ' Above all the "ideas" of either 'Iron Man' movie, whether serious or frivolous, looms the by now seemingly inimitable and essential personality of Robert Downey Jr., who as Tony Stark gets to play endlessly creative riffs off the kind of outrageous, funny but dangerous, clever but seriously unwise person he was in his own real life as a heavy substance abuser and party boy whose using got him into constant trouble and finally prison, treatment, and sobriety. He gets to fulfill the A.A. Promise, 'We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.' In playing Tony Stark, Downey gets to relive his past, without the alcohol, pot, coke, or heroin. When he was on the downward path of the addict he was doing some of the most important research into his role. That research is why he can so easily access the outrageousness and edgy wit of Tony Stark. This role is sometimes seen as a surprising outcome of Downey's comeback, coming after serious stuff like 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints;' 'Good Night, and Good Luck;' 'A Scanner Darkly;' and 'Zodiac.' But Tony Stark is really quite logical, representing the addict's fantasies of glory as well as his self-scrutiny. When Tony's told at the end of 'Iron Man 2' that he's been diagnosed as a classic narcissistic personality, he readily agrees. Any connection with the personality of the typical corporate CEO is, of course, purely coincidental. Not for nothing does the 'New York Times' critic A.O. Scott's review of 'Iron Man 2' begin with the heading "The Man in the Iron Irony." | 8 |
Lots of kitsch. Lots of meandering. Lots of under-over acting. The raves are from folks who give QT license to indulge his every quirk at the stories' expense. The little girl and the dog were great. | 3 |
It's good enough entertainment, expectations seems a little but too high here. This is not the next GoT, it's some degrees below in terms of scale and overall quality. Everything is okaishy. The story is good but may seem rushed and fast paced, the fight scenes are good, the acting is average, the settings are beautiful but don't get explored and the characterization is kinda odd with everything looking too much clean, everybody wears clean cloth and makeup, the ambients don't look like people actually live there. Also, there are no transitions, you are always jumping from one stage to another, it looks like they had little space for the records and used a lot of CGI to render the scenarios. This last point is very important because it sets the tone when it comes to medieval stuff, there is never a big scenario with lots of elements and actors, it always seems like the scenes are recorded on a small stage and it's limited enough so that you never see them going to one room to another without a cut - there are too many cuts here. Sometimes you get the feeling that this in a cheap show and the direction really sucks, it's often misleading at times. There is too much drama for irrelevant characters, you really develop no feelings for them. They are there and you are not interested in their story, it feels like filling after filling.
Overall it's a good show, not bad, but don't fool yourselves to think is the next big thing. There is clearly a gap in budget between this and GoT.
Netflix should balance better between marketing budget and production budget. It could have been much better but it ends being a mediocre-good show. Nothing special but not bad either. | 6 |
Try no to get too much involved otherwise it will take Hours to come out from that hangover.... Try to watch this movie in night time | 10 |
I liked agents of S. H. I. E. L. D more then I thought I would like it especially since I've never read any of the marvel comics or any comics at all.. I was always rager 2 watch the next episode.. the one thing I absolutely hated about the whole show was how they ended the episode's right in the climax of something really interesting and then right when your about 3 find out what the lady couple episodes have been working up to.. they make you wait a week 4 the next one but it really sucks when they end a season like that.. right in the midst of things.. Waiting 4 year almost made me stop watching it all together but I just learned 2 wait until I have all the episodes of the season recorded and then watch it from start 2 finish.. | 8 |
Just another suck of the sav, trying to recapture the 'magic' of GoT s01-04... failed, unimpressive acting and script, 1 hour and two minutes of my life wasted. | 2 |
This was a movie that I saw the trailer at the theater when I was with Jaime and I told her how excited I was. It is interesting though is that I'm late to seeing this, almost two years later. If a film isn't horror, it is difficult for me to find time at the theater. That is even for one of my favorite comic book antiheroes and villain. Regardless, I finally checked this out.
We are picking this up where the last one left off. Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) visits Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) in prison. The latter is a serial killer and Eddie is the only person he will talk to. This puts our lead on bad terms with Detective Mulligan (Stephen Graham) because he doesn't understand why. Cletus is cryptic in what he says to Eddie though. I did want to say that the change in hair here was noticeable since I watched this back-to-back with the original. Doesn't ruin it, but I digress.
There is also back-story of Cletus. He was kept at a school with Frances Barrison (Naomie Harris) with whom he loved. She has a superpower that allows her to do a supersonic shriek. This also becomes her name.
Venom is back with Eddie and he notices drawings on the walls of the cell where Cletus is kept. Through this, they learn where the bodies of Cletus' victims are. This causes the governor to re-instate the death penalty for Cletus. Eddie is invited to watch. Things get heated with Eddie getting too close, Cletus biting him and blood getting into his mouth. This causes an interesting change in our villain and a form of the symbiote meshing to him. Carnage is created and wreaks havoc like this name insinuates.
Where I want to start then is that I think this is a good follow up. We are picking up as I said where the last leaves off. Anne Weying (Michelle Williams) is back. She doesn't know for sure if Venom is still with Eddie or not. Their relationship gets even more estranged though when she becomes engaged to Dr. Dan Lewis (Reid Scott). There is also more character development as Venom has a fallout with his host as well.
Then from there, let me go to Cletus and Carnage. I think that they handle this well. It is interesting to see how violent we go while still keeping that PG-13 rating. It is impressive to be honest. Harrelson makes a good Cletus in my opinion. I'd also say that the rest of the cast is also good. Hardy, Williams, Harris and Graham are all the best performances with the rest of the cast rounding this out for what was needed.
There is a gripe that I have here though. This leans too much into the comedy. There are things that just took me out of the movie as they're playing it for laughs. I don't know if they're trying to capture what Deadpool did or what, but I wasn't a fan. It is a shame though as this is well-made. The lower run time from the earlier is good. The effects are solid. It goes heavy CGI, but I think the budget works there. They have Venom, Carnage and Shriek do things that would be difficult to do practically. I'm on board for most of what we're doing here. The tone is just off for me.
In conclusion, I'd still recommend this. I love what they're doing to tie this in with Spider-Man and the rest of the MCU. That has me intrigued. I still enjoy my time here watching two of my favorite comic book characters facing off.
My Rating: 7 out of 10. | 7 |
"I'm trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart." After another attempt to save the world ends in destruction Steve (Evans) and Tony (Downey Jr.) are on opposite sides of what to do in the future. Tony feels that the superhero's should not be given free reign, while Steve feels that they should be able to act as they see fit. When an old enemy surfaces allegiances are put to the test, and the end of the Avengers could be near. This is a movie that is basically review proof but I'll do one anyway. First of all, I'll say this is a good movie full of action, comedy and excitement, like all of the other Avengers movies. The big problem I have with this movie, like I have stated with all of the other movies in this series, is that it lacks real drama. By that I mean, because there is already the announcement of 2 more Avenger movies means that you know how it will end going in, this one had a chance to go dark and really change the game for this series, but once again, it got wrapped in a bow and left me feeling like this is just another in the line of movies made in order to make money and not offer drama. I liked Batman v Superman because of the drama. That movie did have major flaws, but because it ended with the death of a major character. Even though they are coming back for the next movie it set a precedent that makes you go into the next one wondering who won't make it out alive. I'm not a big fan of comic book movies, but the ones I do like are dark, gritty, and makes you wonder what is going to happen. To me the Marvel movies don't. As a stand alone movie this is good, as part of the series it lacks the drama that I like in my movies. Overall, another in the line of the Avengers movies that people will love, I don't. I give this a B. | 7 |
Someone has to say it. Yes, its an an absolutely over rated movie. Only music by Han Zimmer is excellent. Cinematography is good that's it. Yes you do feel bad for people who is died in the war, hence people feel guilty criticizing a movie like this. To be honest movie has no soul whatsoever. | 1 |
Raid could possibly be the best income-tax based film out there in world cinema at the moment and carries the world entertainment on its head. It stars Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla in main roles and is directed by the wonderful Raj Kumar Gupta (Aamir, No One Killed Jessica, Ghanchakkar).
STORY: Honest Income-Tax officer Amay Patnaik (Ajay) is transferred for the 49th time in his career to Lucknow along with his wife (Ileana) where he gets a tip while settling down. He is given lots of information and also does his own investigation. Still unsure whether the information is correct, he conducts a raid from the info, leading him into the household of the notorious Tauji, the most powerful man in Lucknow. The film is based on one of the biggest raids in India. The plot contains lots of twists, which creates a ton of suspenseful moments throughout the film making this a gripping watch.
CAST: I can't hesitate in saying that this is one of Ajay Devgn's best performances till date. Ajay's acting looks effortless and amazing on screen, making him one of my favourite actors in Bollywood. Saurabh Shukla is also fantastic and thee two actors cannot be compared. Ileana D'Cruz Iooks pretty but doesn't really have much to do. But in whatever she has been given, it is completed very nicely. All the supporting cast members carry very strong performances as well and there is not one complaint with the casting.
TECHNICAL: The direction is absolutely amazing from Gupta and feels seamless when watching the movie. Writing is one of the films biggest plus points and is done in such a way that the audience will never be given a chance to feel bored. The dialogues given to Devgn and Shukla and punchy and powerful and give the film strength. Ritesh Shah has written an impressive script and a gripping screenplay which makes this film the success it is. The editing is a job well done and at a runtime of 120 mins, the film never feels prolonged and the interest does not get lost midway.
MUSIC: To be honest, I loved the soundtrack. The songs are soulful and full of heart. Sanu Ek Pal Chain is a slow paced remake sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and is nice to the ears. Nit Khair Manga is a tad faster, also sung by Khan, and is a bit too heavy on the Punjabi lyrics, and while it also misses out on that trademark essence from Rahat, it's still not a bad listen. Black by Sukhwinder Singh acts as the title track if the film and with its punchy bass and strong vocals, it is undoubtedly one of the strongest in the album. Jhuk Na Paunga is my favourite, sung by the soothing Papon and just has a good feel to it, and is a song that perfectly suits Ajay's character in the film.
To conclude, this film contains all the suspense, tension, action, and moments that a film in this genre should have. This film is one of the best watches of 2018 so far, and can be watched multiple times. But the best effect is in the cinema. Hats off to the entire team of Raid, but especially Raj Kumar Gupta. Well done | 9 |
I loved that it has an ensemble cast type vibe. Very strong female protagonists and strong female antagonist make for a compelling storyline. Each character is very watchable and the actors bring them to life magnetically. I can't wait for the second season. Hopefully it gets renewed for a few more seasons. | 9 |
If the first movie I found quite tedious, this second is much worse. There are several plots that lead to nothing, and you clearly realize that they were bred to fill in minutes. Jude Law did well as Dumbledore. And the rest of the cast did not convince me. Me and my sister kept asking about what the plot was? The title of the movie has nothing to do with the main plot. It was wiser to call it "In Search of Credence," because everyone was after him. There were so many unnecessary scenes, and there were some that brought that feeling of nostalgia. In this franchise he had no magic or friendship seen in Harry Potter. You see only a fully CGI scenario and a thirst for money. | 4 |
This is nothing but pure garbage. Especially if you have read the book and were hoping for a great adaptation. But No, the writing is beyond horrible, acting from most of the actors is Meh. That you can blame on directing, I wish some of these so called writers, producers, directors would actually sit and read the work they are about to work on. Kings work is, I think pretty easily adaptable , just follow along with the book, he'll you can imagine the whole movie/series while you read it. Take a pass on this adaptation and hope the next one is better. Don't count on it. | 1 |
The show skips over much of the character development to basically highlight interesting points like a history book. The major time jump didn't bother me, the new actors are well casted but I was hoping they would let us live with them longer, get to know them and actually flow through the story how game of thrones does. Instead we time jump so much in this show that I feel very disconnected from the characters. All of Allison's children along with Rhaenyra's are so difficult to connect to because you can't know someone from a couple scenes In an episode and jump to them being teenagers. It just feels lazy
I have read the book and understand that this is the format but this format doesn't work for good television. | 6 |
From the prime minister's pajamas and dignitaries' uniforms, it reveals a thick black color, and the last section is like a state of war, which makes my back cool! E02 when he used his life to say the declaration of resistance, he finally surrendered to the society that had been corroded by consumerism. Isn't this our life now and in the future? E03 when you can freely view the memories and enlarge their analysis, you will never get out. | 9 |
It's very strange how a fantasy show gives me all this emotions, but when I try to take out all of the unreal elementas, what's remaining is a real life plot The boys is telling the story of how many real life conflicts is happening right now in our world.
It tells the power held by major cooperations, and how corrupt they are.
It also tells how you can change the narrative of everything, how the supper heros and the supper villains are not fixed roles And how ppl can be misslead.
Take any major conflict in this world and u can find "the boys" involved You will also find "Vought".
It's a sad truth. | 8 |
Apart from a couple of bad CG shots and a couple of details in the last episode, the first season of Stranger Things borders on perfection. I won't include any spoilers, but if you like films and books like Carrie, Poltergeist, The Goonies, or The Thing, you will probably enjoy this. A lot. Even more so if you grew up in the 1980s.
The second season is slightly worse, less atmospheric, less mysterious, more focused on action sequences, but definitely still worth watching. Characters still behave more or less in character, with a couple of exceptions. Visual effects are a mixed bag, with the new "monster" looking great, but the ones inherited from season 1 still looking fake and badly animated.
The third season, sadly, is a complete mess (both in terms of the overall plot and the behaviour of some characters making no sense). It's still entertaining, in a sillier and more over-the-top kind of way, but it's really closer to Buffy the Vampire Slayer than to the excellent first series. The visual effects are excellent.
On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate the first three seasons 10, 8, and 6, respectively. Hopefully season 4 won't be a 4. | 8 |
I can't believe how this movie got 7+ rating. What a waste of time. The killer was very obvious early on only the motive was not clear.
The characters were pretty lost.
Why the hell would you handover the only proof you would have to the killer so easily.
Why would you not even think about your safety going to a place where everyone else might want to kill you. Instead of having a diary saving you from bullet maybe it would have made sense that you were wearing bullet proof jacket.
A billionaire could not hire anyone to kill someone, what a joke. Nor he could arrange for his security at his mansion. LoL. | 2 |
Some amazing action as expected. Nick Fury set piece was really good. I have always found Captain America to be my least favourite character in the other films , too moralistic and wholesome zzzzz, lookin forward to his exit in End Game. But this film delivers some fun action scenes, Black Widow being as hot as ever, the introduction of Falcon and Winter Soldier are most welcome. Nina massively original story and a little predictable with regards to the main baddie. One of the better Marvel film's. ..........one massive him puzzles me though....Where the hell were the other Avengers whilst this stuff was going on? Makes no sense??? Would they just let this all happened without getting involved.....especially IronMan. Hmmmmmm.. | 8 |
An uttet disgrace. A completely wrong depiction of a country. It should get 0 as rating | 1 |
Twenty-one years ago, cute eight-year-old Gus Lewis (as Little Bruce Wayne) swipes a trinket from cute eight-year-old Emma Lockhart (as Little Rachel Dawes). Instant karma gets the boy. He immediately falls down a well. And, that well is filled with BATS! Thus begins the future Batman's great fear. After a related family tragedy, we take three giant steps to muscular Christian Bale (as Grown-up Bruce Wayne). First, he is seen in a Chinese prison. This is to begin Mr. Bale's expert training in combat, Asia being most obvious location. Bale fights and fights for mentor-like Liam Neeson (as Henri Ducard)...
Later, Bale develops his "Batman" identity. He gets funny ears. Bale and trusty butler Michael Caine (as Alfred Pennyworth) discover a huge cave under stately Wayne Manor. The caped vigilante's once little girlfriend develops into attractive district attorney Katie Holmes (as Grown-up Rachel Dawes). This all-new character was not present in DC Comics' new "Dark Knight" Batman and is inappropriately weaved into the hero's origin story; possibly, she is intended to cement the final removal of the character "Robin" from Batman's potentially naughty influence. After the origin and Asian stuff, we get to a real Bat-Film...
"Pow!" "Sock!" ""Ka-Boom!" Batman must rescue Gotham City from the clutches of "Scarecrow" Cillian Murphy (Dr. Jonathan Crane) and crime-lord Tom Wilkinson (as Carmine Falcone). Best villain is surprisingly not Ken Watanabe (as Ra's Al Ghul), but Mr. Murphy's ghastly "Scarecrow". They should have made him more of the focus. Also noteworthy is director Christopher Nolan's use of rising and falling; note how the well and ice drops are replaced by up-and-down Bat-action. The art/set designers create a great-looking Gotham, and Wally Pfister photographs it well. The ending strongly suggests a sequel...
****** Batman Begins (6/10/05) Christopher Nolan ~ Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy | 6 |
In general, it exceeded expectations, because before I watched it, I was always thinking how to make a movie with captain America without super powers, high-tech equipment, a shield and patriotic beliefs. Marvel has added a lot of spy movies to its usual emphasis on visual effects, and they've done it so well that many "professional" spy movies have been put to shame. | 9 |
What could have been a very powerful and provoking film was reduced to a meaningless exercise. I was forced to watch it with subtitles only, due to the fact that the incidental dirge, I will not honour it by calling it music, became immensely annoying - how some reviews praise Hans Zimmer astounds me. | 2 |
1917 is mostly a well made film, the set pieces are gorgeous, the acting is fine, the cinematography is stunning, fitting soundtrack etc etc it does most things really well and it most certainly held my attention throughout it's runtime.
The main issue I had with the film was not the lack of combat scenes (as it focuses mainly on the main characters and not large battle scenes as a whole) it was the lack of realism, for example two young soldiers are given a task by a general to make an important trip to another front in order to halt the allied attack there due to a German trap that is set for them as otherwise many lives will be lost, now why would a general rely on two lower ranked soldiers alone to pass on such an important message, not even sending other runners just two guys across many kilometres and just hoping they will make it, very silly.
Other examples include the Germans missing almost every shot when the main character is fired upon and is essentially a sitting duck, shot after shot after shot all close range missing completely, then there are others things missing like background ambience of a war in some cases totally absent, just little things like that.
All that said I still think it's a good movie worth watching, it has some great scenes and can be quite moving at times, well worth a watch just wish the producers paid a little more attention to details. | 7 |
I wasn't familiar with Moon Knight as it is newer a Marvel character but I really enjoyed this first episode. Oscar Issac does an excellent job as he always does to make you care for his character and you experience his confusion and disorientation at it is happening. Good job so far I hope they can keep it up. | 8 |
Black Panther, I give it a 4 out of 10. Maybe a 5, it is almost all computer graphics and story-line going no where. Lots of good special effects, but very very predictable Special effects are great, but story-line is worse then a B grade movie | 4 |
Marvel continues to surprise me with the movies that they produce. Each new film that Marvel Studios produces is even better than the last. This movie doesn't have a single dull moment. Intense edge of your seat action, and quirky comedy that has become a staple of the Marvel movies. I can't wait to see the next movies that this studio puts out. This is building up to huge things to come in future Marvel films. This movie is a must see in theaters. I plan on seeing it again in theaters before it leaves and I have to wait for it to come to DVD. Stan Lee must be one proud man, seeing all of his comic books come to life in these phenomenal movies. Great movie for the whole family, as well as huge comic book fans. And I must say comic book fans, like myself, will not be disappointed with this film and the direction that it takes the Marvel series. Not to mention the fact that Marvel does a great job of concealing almost everything in its movie trailers. I don't know how you do it, but please... Keep it coming Marvel! Marvel is the one studio that I will never hesitate to purchase ridiculously priced movie tickets to go and see. Worth every penny! | 10 |
My son played the entirety of this game a few times, and he thought I would find it interesting. He has explained a few things to me that a non gamer wouldn't know, some foreshadow of spore affects and such...but even so, I find the story lacking. Joel is a jerk. He is an entirely unsympathetic character. One person made him tolerable and if you watched episode two...you know. The kid character might be worth the effort to hang in but I find her irritating as well. Minimal likability. As of now I care about no one in this story, so there's no point in continuing. My son disagrees, but from what I've seen, a two star rating is too generous. | 2 |
13 Reasons Why started strong, interesting and haunting in its first season, having me on the edge of my seat and fully interested at all times. It was super gripping, well-done & well-acted and by the end of that season, I couldn't stop thinking about it, highly praising and recommending it for quite a while. Then the subsequent seasons followed and the magic vanished pretty quickly, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.
Season 1 gets a 10, It was the best and should have finished there.
Season 2 gets a 7.5, explored the aftermath, while having filler scenes of Hannah Baker, not doing justice to her in a decent way.
Season 3 gets a 5, the writers ran out of ideas, dragging the series and adding an outsider character by the name of Ani, not making any sense in the series, let alone her deceitful personality, unpleasant presence and distasteful acting.
All executives involved, forgot about the real story of the series, about Hannah Baker and how she was martyrized and battered. They forgot about her pain, suffering and hopelessness, which got to my throat and saddened me beyond measure.
A continuation and dragging of a series mainly about Hannah Baker and her issues, without her being in it and an active part of it, was most unforgivable. I loved Liberty High and its life, but without Hannah in it, it was just a shadow of a life.
Hannah, you were traumatized beyond measure, made a point at the expense of your life and will be dearly missed. Hope that other persons like you, out there, find the courage and strength to speak up before it's too late. | 6 |
My main problem with this movie is the two subplots. Ego just doesnt fit the tone established anywhere else in the movie and it's too wacky and too serious. It makes the movie feel long and boring but at the same time, bloated and overstuffed.
I loved the first one, but this was just... It feels like James Gunn was writting two movies, and every other page was swapped out with each other, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 etc.
I'm just dissapointed... | 4 |
I wouldn't say i enjoyed this film mainly because its a romance and its not my thing but the movies technical aspect are really what made this film great camera work and lighting are magnificent. But it lacked meaning or substance and i didn't feel emotionally connected. | 7 |
That BGM for PSYCHO scared the sh*** out of me. What an Epic movie. The brains of Tamil movie Writers. Semmaa | 10 |
I hear a lot of people state that it's a pointless rehash, but I think think this movie is much worse than a rehash. there is no substance to the movie whatsoever. all the lions look the same, I didn't like any of the characters, the colours were dull, everything was just lifeless.
the dialogue was also genuinely painful to listen to, it's like the entire script what ad libbed because it's just so unnatural and awkward. this made the jokes especially unfunny, even if they used the same jokes as the original it was still unfunny because every line in this movie was delivered horrendously.
I want a special paragraph to talk about the be prepared scene- oh my lord. like why even include it if you're butchering it that's much. it's not really a song, it's more scar yelling the lyrics with some generic stock movie music in the background. i'm not kidding when I say he's yelling, he yells a lot of the lyrics which makes the song a lot less menacing.
it seems no one wants to be there, the voice acting is just so dull and everything about this movie is dull. god, i really dislike this movie. perhaps i'm just butthurt because I really liked the original but I just can't stand this movie.
I gave it 2 starts though because the animation was gorgeous! it was not meant for this movie in particular but I can still appreciate the undeniable effort put in by the animation team, a lot of the scenes are so beautiful and you cannot tell them apart from reality.
anyway, I don't recommend this movie at all. sorry for the negativity in this review, i just really wanted to point out things I noticed. | 2 |
ATANTIKA SAHA DATE- 9.06.2021 MOVIE NAME- Uri: The Surgical Strike Uri movie cast: Vicky Kaushal, Mohit Raina, Paresh Rawal, Rajit Kapoor, Yami Gautam, Kirti Kulhari, Swaroop Sampat Uri movie director: Aditya Dhar RELEASE DATE- 11 January,2019 .
Story: The film is based on the surgical strikes conducted in 2016 by the Indian Army, against militant launch pads in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Vicky plays the role of a dedicated soldier, Vihaan, who is known for his meticulous strategising and planning in missions. After a successful mission, he wishes to retire from army life, as his mother needs him.
Review: Aditya Dhar's unforgiving war drama incorporates the events that led to the surgical strikes as seen through the eyes of protagonist Major Vihaan Singh Shergill (Vicky Kaushal). The storyline isn't entirely unpredictable; we know what will push Vihaan to take up the mission of the surgical strikes against the terrorists.
The second half focuses on the Indian Army planning the attack against the militants. The tone of the film hits a crescendo as India gets ready to teach Pakistan a lesson in bloodshed and violence. Vihaan shouts, "They want Kashmir and we want their heads!" The soldiers holler back in agreement. The combat sequences, ambush, gunfire, fistfights, sniper shots are realistically shot. The camera tactfully follows the soldiers like a shadow. Sound effects are crucial to combat film storytelling, and this war drama uses it effectively for most parts.
In the film, there is a stark difference between the intelligence meetings in Pakistan as compared to those taking place in India. The officials in the neighbouring country constantly put down India at any chance they get. Pakistani officials are boorish, with some burp-induced humour and are shown willing to drink themselves silly, whereas the Indians are constantly alert and on their toes.
Uri: The Surgical Strike is clear from the word go as to which political party it caters to, and makes no secret of it. Modi and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval (Rawal) is seen in practically every scene and is part of every meeting that involves discussions on the surgical strikes. The timing of this film couldn't have been more perfect.
The soldiers give up their today for our tomorrow and no words can signify or repay the sacrifices they make for our country. Uri puts a spotlight on the thankless job they do with passion in their hearts and fire in their bellies.
The soldiers give up their today for our tomorrow and no words can signify or repay the sacrifices they make for our country. Uri puts a spotlight on the thankless job they do with passion in their hearts and fire in their bellies.
#MARACTIVITY #FILMREVIEW. | 10 |
I'm not sure who decided to write this garbage, but jousting tournaments were not a blood bath where the contestants murdered each other to the cheers of the crowd and knights openly cheated with no one batting an eye.
In such tournaments, knights often used blunted weapons and there were clear rules to prevent the contestants from getting killed. It was never a fight to the death. Death happend rarily, thanks to the durability of a knights armor.
Lords send their sons to gain glory, if this many contestants died, they would run out of sons pretty quickly and would gain many reasons to go to war with the people who killed their sons.
Game of Thrones treated its viewers like intelligent human beings. Knights getting killed was something out of the ordinary, attacking your opponent to unhorse them was not acceptable.
House of the Dragon treats us like morons. Thats probably also why they want us to accept that Westeros now looks like New York. | 1 |
The animation of this show is great, though it did take some getting used to, but so far it has delivered some amazing shots.
This show enables the artists and directors to create some stunning fight sequences that are simply not doable in live-action, and I am extremely excited to see the rest of the show.
The only gripe I have with the show, at least the first episode, is that the pacing is a bit too fast for my taste. Other than that, it is marvelous. | 9 |
Fun. Tragic. Lovely. Painful.
All of humane and realistic emotions we can possibly imagine are combined with inhumane and occult topics, and these are combined so well, it leads to an intense immersion. And these inhumane and unrealistic topics, about killing titans and ancient myths, change into realistic and humane political war with tremendous plot twists and foreshadows.
It has so many episodes, and they used this advantage to focus on every characters, not only the main characters. All of the characters have humane backstories. No matter how strong and invincible he looks, he has tragic backgrounds. No matter how miserable and painful they look, they have reasons to survive till the end. This makes viewers empathetic and immerse to the show.
But the strong points of this show are not only about plot, story and emotion. It also presents epic soundtracks, intense action, and perfect camera angle. The 'OVA gear', which is made for killing titans, is so appropriate for animated action. These four elements are combined so well, they'll blow the viewers' mind away in every action scenes. | 9 |
Mix of Bollywood drama and E. T., realy bad science fiction. There is not even one single thing that is worth of watching. Overacting, boring dialogues with no sense, cliché scenes and dramatic moments. Also bad story, costimograpy, set design, and also science facts. A complete waste of time! | 1 |
After the 6th episode or last episode of season 1, Moon Knight has been a worth-watching series with a different vibe since it lifts an Egyptian theme hero. The performance deliverance is marvelous with Oscar Issac, Ethan Hawke, May Calamawy, and the other cast are all doing their acting served well, especially the emotional scene from Ep5 by Oscar Isaac and not to forget mention his ability to change emotion between Marc and Steven. I also love the relation between God and Avatar without losing their cool (e.g suddenly become good because the Avatar is a good person-No, they demand a result too) and the appearance of Egypt
However, it doesn't really dark as it was promised earlier, Moon Knight also fails to deliver a well-built pace, although the plot has different from another Marvel which is built pretty confusing but obvious. For me, the first episode is great for an introduction following with ep2 but the further episode comes the more it becomes close to similar Marvel Movie type: From the joke added, poor written dialogue, not-to-good fight, until not-to-well side character. I want to talk about the visual effect because as far as I can tell, I differ the real and the animated while from the other Marvel movie, it has a good visual effect between everything including animated character.
So, personally EP1: 7/10 EP2: 6/10 EP3: 6/10 EP4: 7/10 EP5: 7/10 EP6: 8/10. | 7 |
Faith-based film of an unbelievable story of survival, told through a religious lens, whether or not you believe in the power of prayers to raise the dead, we can look at the incident as an inspired story, how the mother (Chrissy) loved her son and believed that he will be recovered regardless of the doctor's opinion, I think sometimes we need to believe in something that has more power than science to save who we love even if it let us down.
Solid performance by Chrissy Metz, she was perfect in the mother role. Actually, it's a good movie to watch for believers and maybe unlikable for non-believers, because "Breakthrough" focus a little more on the mother's faith and the prayers of the entire community. | 5 |
I think, I watched a great Hindi movie with a solid story line after sooo long which wasn't a copy of any other movie neither a biopic but a total original. From the screenplay to the scripts, everything is so great and on point. The humor of the movie and the comedy timing couldn't be any better. All the cast-members were so solid and excellent with their parts. Each and everyone, individually were just great.
Four different life stories go on with these sets of people and each story ends with a beautiful message.
Overall, just Loved the movie. Mr. Basu really did his best work and you can totally see that through the entire film.
As a viewer and a Bollywood fan, I really enjoyed the whole movie a lot and couldn't be happier to see such a film after so long. | 10 |
I've enjoyed this series very much so far. The characters are played very well by the actors and for once they wrote the child character as not overly bratty and annoying.
My main gripe is this tendency in modern series to grind the action to a halt with stand alone flashback episodes. I know not every episode can move the story along and knowing a characters past can explain their actions now. However these episodes are usually overlong and they lack subtlety.
This is the case with episode 3 and 7 of this series. We get 1 hour long episodes that could easily have been condensed in 15 minutes. The audience is not dumb, writers need to stop thinking they are.
It was especially problematic in episode 7 because episode 6 was so good and then we were left hanging. These breaks in the story actually kill momentum and do not serve as cliffhangers like the writers think they do. A measure of proof is episodes 3 and 7 are the lowest rated here. They are fine episodes but momentum and story killers not enhancers.
That being said this is an outstanding series and the friendship between the two leads is very endearing and well played. | 8 |
Incredible acting by Elizabeth Olsen 100% deserves an Emmy for this | 8 |
This film is so awesome and funny its great for the whole family | 4 |
The season 1 was going pretty well and it was filled with action and fights but season 2 is the worst season because of the animation and sound effects | 1 |
I started watching this movie back in 2014 and was turned off by the hip hop. I hadn't read any reviews at the time and it came as a surprise to me. It struck me as ridiculous and offensive. I just watched it all the way through and my opinion hasn't changed.
The cinematography is excellentx It very effectively captures the era and creates the spectacle true to the novel. But all that is wasted by the soundtrack. I'll admit I'm not a hip hop fan, but I'd be just as put off if it was rock & roll music. Not that I'm a jazz fan either, but with this story, Jazz is what I want to hear, and as similar as possible to the original.
Most movies that I consider great classics capture my imagination so I'm absorbed in the story. Using hiphop against that backdrop is just wrong. If you want a hip hop soundtrack bring Gatsby into the 21st Century. We have the wars, the bull markets and crashes required by the plot. It just takes a little imagination. But unfortunately imagination is hard to come by in Hollywood. It always has been. | 3 |
I found this first this first instalment film completely confusing. The storyline did not make entire sense. I think the crew missed a chance with this film. The whole outline did not fully follow throughout the film. The cast selection was unique. They connected wildly to the storyline. This first instalment film reveals to viewers the effort and freedom that everyone has a chance of. Everyone has a right to freedom and it should not be taken away. I have never had any freedom at all in my lifetime. Everyone in my life make it their mission to make me depressed and have nothing to live for. Unfortunately, that will never change. This is a confusing and poor first instalment film. | 5 |
Absolute rubbish. I have no idea what just happened or what it's supposed to be about. Way too convoluted and confusing. Others have explained it better. | 1 |
Don't you all get angry at me but I have to admit that this movie was an absolute failure. It seemed interesting in the trailers and the reviews praised and I went to see it. How wrong were both of those. I left the movie in disgust at how I wasted ten dollars on it. I thought that the casting was inept and that the storyline was trite and iffy. None of the Actors were Oscar-Quality. There were so many other great films than this including Ray, The Aviator, Sideways, etc. And don't any of you say that I don't get "this movie" since I saw it once in the theatres and watched it twice on DVD when I borrowed it from a friend. My opinion never faltered.
Addition: This movie is on the Top 250? It's friggin number 36 beating out the unbelievable Taxi Driver in number 37. This film has absolutely no reason to be here on this list. It is taking up spots that rightly belong to Network, which is one of the greatest written satire films starring some the greatest actors, three of which won Oscars specifically for the film. Shame on all of you for liking this film.
Addition 2: Finally, an update, with glee to finally see this movie sink below Taxi Driver as it should. I am happy to see a classic work of art beat this contrived load of bull-hooey that receives so much attention since it's so arty... go see Brick if you want an arty and awesome movie. | 1 |
Terrible got 20-30 mins turned it off shots jumping around every 1-5 to seconds. It's like a child is filming started fill dizzy. The editing was awful felt chopped up. Action had little sense. Just awful | 1 |
If you enjoyed the last twenty minutes of Titanic, then this film is for you. If you liked the bleak vision of humanity that Christopher Nolan portrayed in The Dark Knight Rises, you might like the atmosphere of this film. If you want a generic war-is-hell and survival is matter of chance film, you may well appreciate this.
If you remember Dunkirk as a victory snatched from the jaws of defeat; as a near-miracle when for a full day a storm grounded the German air force in Flankers while the Channel was as calm as a millpond; as a day when sixty German planes attacked four hundred men on the beach and inflicted no casualties; as a time when men were buried hastily but with military honours rather than being allowed to lie dead on the beach; then this film does a huge disservice to the truth.
Finally a note on accuracy. The film may look right but it is missing almost any detail that might bring hope into the situation. The images may be accurate; the atmosphere is more appropriate for a film about a concentration camp. | 1 |
Hated the first and second episode, characters were vile and annoying was ready to give up but my husband saw something I didn't. It's quite unique even though the comics have been around a lot of us don't read them. Reminded me loosely of preacher and American god's which I love. I grew to quite like some characters and dislike others who I hadn't originally. I binged watched and got quite addicted. Even grew fond of cha cha and Hazel. Don't give up on this it will suprise you. | 8 |
This has to be one of the worst films I've ever seen. Despite the best efforts of the actors, most of whom are very talented, the ridiculous and corny plot makes this a real chore to watch.
You get the feeling that the director was trying to make a modern "Homer's Odyssey", but ended up instead with "Homer Simpson's Odyssey" - sans laughs. This movie offers lowest common denominator entertainment: patronization to those with learning difficulties, a twisted view on history, naive jingoism, and a nauseatingly contrived ending.
When I first saw this movie I began wondering whether I was being too harsh on it. However, after talking to between fifteen and twenty other people, I've come to the conclusion that I was being quite fair. None of those I've spoken to liked this film.
If you like bubble-gum then you will probably like Forrest Gump. If however, you like movies with some semblance of intelligence or real entertainment you will probably be disappointed by this movie. | 1 |
The first season was just incredible! The friendship, the family relationship, the conspiracy, the suspense, uhhh ground-breaking!
I would have rated it 10/10 if only season 2 and 3 are not what they are. To be fair, season 2 is quite good, just a few side stories that I don't quite care for. Season 3? Disappointing. Just bucketful of cringe, saved a bit by the finale.
Conclusion, just watch season 1. | 8 |
I'm not a gamer by any means, but my son is, so last of us is a game I saw him playing that looked interesting, so I played it years ago. When I heard they were making a show I thought it would turn out like most video game movies, at best case it would be watchable, fun, and forgettable. I was very wrong, they kept everything that was good about the game, in all fairness the game was pretty well written, but they have added layer on top of layer of plot and incredibly interesting characters. Combine that with some very scary zombies, good tension and it's a winner. This is far more than your average zombie outing. My wife hates just about anything related to horror(except the conjuring series for some reason), but she will watch this, and deep down in a place she won't admit probably likes it. | 8 |
This "doco" is more "mocko". The people whose lives are tracked throughout the film are caricatures, I suspect cast purely for comic effect. Classic exploitation. That aside the film does make for some enjoyable viewing. At times I wondered whether the film was straying into the realms of snuff and thought 'why don't the filmmakers step in here'; but on balance, understanding the difficult decisions they face, I think they acted appropriately by not disturbing the natural order.
If you're comfortable laughing at others' expense and don't lose sleep over unanswered questions (like why the film is called Fargo, what happened to the buried loot and did Frances McDormand's performance really warrant an Oscar) then it's well worth a watch. | 7 |
As much as I love marvel , this movie just didn't do it for me.
Morbius being better is obviously a little exaggerated. But i overall enjoyed it more than doctor strange 2 . | 2 |
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj presented another movie with his unique pattern with a different formula.Doesn't seem to be second film for director and minute detailings are super in this movie.A turning point movie for some artistes acted in this movie and it's a clear blockbuster for Karthi.Apart from Karthi's character adapted performance,actors like Dheena, George Maryan and ArjunDoss scored well in their provided screenspace.Good movie debut for Blacksheep Deepthi too.Sam's BGM worked out very good in this movie and had been used according to the requirements.Stunt Choreographic work by Anbariv is good and it doesn't seem odd and unrealistic in any places.Handling of emotion,action,comedy and powerful dialogues at the required rate was really a laudable effort.A big congrats for producers who were financially successful in making this movie.Good plot available for sequel in this movie. | 9 |
Wow. No word can make justice to such a masterpiece. Narrated the whole thing in such a beautiful and psychologically disturbing manner that it makes you think and feel scared. A must watch for anyone and specially if you've ever had any interest in the chernobyl disaster. | 9 |
Season 1 was perfect. Season 2 was still enjoyable. Season 3 is annoying with drawn out shouting dialogue and cliches. Is it because they are all teenagers? Not so, because even the adults are getting typecast and annoying. Two big problems I see with season 3: 1) drawn-out storyline that should have been over before it began (yes we know the monster and it is scary), 2) too many new cast members. The whole charm of the concept to me was the beauty of the friendship of these group of four outcasts. But as the seasons evolved, they became way cooler and pretty much all had girlfriends...may be that is wishful thinking on the part of the creators, but I dont remember nerds with gf or bfs, because I certainly was one. To me I just no longer connect with most of the characters anymore. I hope this is the last season or they need to change big time. | 8 |
It is based on true story. The cast taken are the best. Best Cinamatography, best Dialogue Delivery. Best War movie | 10 |
I pulled HoD up last night and made it about 6 mins before I noped out. It's definitely ESG caliber writing, acting and CGI. Gonna be 2 thumbs down from me. | 1 |
Thanks to corona, I have come across this piece of crap. Let's just say, just cause you can pay a "well known" actor/ actress to play a certain role, does not guarantee the story line to be decent. I have no idea what the heck they were thinking. I waited until half way through the movie and gave up. Nothing but a grown ass man who acts like a 2 year old when he goes through a break up. He kinda gives me Phyco stalker vibes as well. Sorry, great actors but you missed the other part of the recipe! | 1 |
Mindless praises here on imdb, dont fall into this trap, movie has nothing new to offer, i was already bored within 30 minutes into the movie. It surely would be enjoyable for kids though! Just doesn't cater to all the audiences. | 5 |
This film is nothing like The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which is the best super hero movie of all time. This film makes no sense & has no plot whatsoever. | 1 |
It feels like i'm watching "Lassie" in space. Good cgi, bad acting & bad script. | 1 |
I feel like we needed a movie like this for 2023. As a girl who grew up with Barbies, this movie was really able to show what Barbie has been about since the very start- empowering girls and women and showing them that they can do anything. People are saying it had poor marketing, but it's a movie about Barbie, the original girl power toy? I went into this expecting what was given because of what barbie is all about. It's funny, but also hits on the hard truth women live with that people have trouble accepting as true. It serves to make people who don't go through these things on a day to day basis realize what is actually common in many people's lives. Amazing movie, brilliantly done. | 10 |
A well written script coupled with fantastic direction makes "Swades" a MUST watch! It is a thought provoking movie which ignites the viewer with a great sense of patriotism and willingness to change society. It is a movie straight from the heart that strikes a chord with viewers across all generations ! | 10 |
This is a spectacular series for all viewers to watch. The crew did a fabulous job in creating this series. The storyline of this series was full on, great, and unique. The cast selection was extraordinary. They completely committed and connected to the storyline and to their respective characters. The chemistry between the cast members was fine and strong for this series. This series reveals to viewers that everyone is fine the way they are and it also shows equality. I am someone with disabilities and severe health conditions. During my lifetime, I have been alone, bullied, depressed, and hated for being myself. This is a great series for everyone to watch. | 8 |
It's worth watching TV series with a tight script, unforgettable characters and their unbelievable actings, strong holding on story. It's so much interesting that I had been seeing 5 episodes in a day and could go for whole season. Anurag Kashyap and Motwane proved again they can brace you with their direction. | 9 |
I dont like super heroes movies but i love this movie this its funny :D im sure some ppl gave this movie 0 star cuz its from sony & they are microsoft fans. | 10 |
I sat there for an hour and carnage hadn't even made an appearance yet. It was the lamest slowest beginning to a movie since green lantern. This movie has everything: slow starts, terrible dialogue, awful world building, and so much more. The plot is actually garbage. It's not funny at all.
I wish I could tell you it's redeeming simply by the performances of Harrelson and Hardy. Their performance is fine. It's mostly bad direction. It's pretty clear they did what they were told to do.
I cannot recommend enough to not watch this movie at all.
Sony basically ruins everything they touch. | 1 |
Very slow moving movie, I love war movies but this was actually quite boring. A lot of the scenes feel very long and drawn out. I was fairly disappointed and found myself fighting the urge to turn it off. Yes, the ending was kind of cool. But it definitely wasn't worth sitting through the rest of the boring movie. | 6 |
This is my first review but I couldn't let this one go and spoil a great website displaying wrong rating for a horrible series.
Everything about this series is horrible. From predictable plot, bad acting, over used arguments between cast, etc, etc. | 3 |
Total wastage of six ours of time. Bad direction, hilarious acting, bad casting. By the way, I didn't expect such a junk from BBC. | 1 |
It's pure Disney. A family fantastical adventure. That does not mean it is a good film. It's okay. There is plenty of spectacle and color. Johnny Depp is fun but needs more material to work with. He had a great character but the script held him back. Geoffrey Rush had the same problem; not enough material to explode off the screen.
If you have ever been on the Disney Theme park ride Pirates of the Caribbean then you can see the spin off. The dog holding the chains as well as the prisoners sticking their heads out the bars. Novelty for sure. There are some beautiful shots of the ships. The ghost ship, The Black Pearl was beautiful to gaze upon with it's black torn sails and hull looming in the fog.
The film is full of edited fight scenes using quite a few close ups. It's all for fun and the audience seemed to enjoy the yarn. | 6 |
Believe me, I wanted to like this movie even more. Some things worked, like the directing, visuals, and sequences. All were thrilling and Alfonso Cuarón is a very talented guy but at a certain point it got to be a little bit too over the top and uneven. At some moments, what the movie expects me to believe with the scientific laws of nature and practicality of certain events is asking for a bit too much. Maybe I'll give this movie a second chance/viewing again one day but still, I've seen much better movies about space adventures. | 7 |
Initially this seems great. Steven is basically Oliver from TV series Coupling. The voice is the same and similarly he's a nervous geek. He suddenly develops a blackout. So we find out that without him knowing he's Marc Spencer a super hero style agent. They are in fact avatars for an Egyptian god and this god provides strength, armour super hero ability. They have independent thought so argue about who gets control through reflections. As a gift shop assistant Steven appears to know about the history (how?) but can't fight so needs Marc. Confusing? Either way links to Egyptian times is a good idea, costumes are great. It's a bit like a 3 way Venom. It starts well, but has some terrible flaws. Firstly DARK VISION, this isn't a super power it's where they don't light the scenes so you spend ages being unable to see anything that's going on. Secondly it's drawn out with some weird boring chats that probably go somewhere but I really don't care. Character flaws don't help the plot it just makes you think just get on with it. By the end of the 4th episode I was so bored I didn't care where it was going anymore and really hoped it would end here. Never felt like this with any superhero stuff ever, they have got it terribly wrong. | 3 |
This seems to have been made only for car race/sports fans. Cannot imagine how worst it'd have been if the 2 main characters would've played by someone else than Christian Bale & Matt Damon. Although this is purely a biographical make, it had some stunning race sequences but it didn't please me much, maybe because I expected a lot and maybe the addition of commercial elements could've been a good engagement factor but there seemed to be nothing except a clash with the executive on a decent note. | 6 |
24 is without is a very entertaining and action packed drama. Jack Bauer play his part to perfection and his fellow actors and actresses who play alongside him help him make it so believable. 24 is so original and unique in comparison to other dramas, this is how it's filmed, the timescale in which they operate the series on is real life unlike any other drama. Because of this it can give an extra buzz to the viewer. The ideas that they come out with for every season keep on surprising the viewer and that is they have been able to be successful for so long, dramas like lost, prison break, alias, etc can't sustain that quality. They pull out all the stops to pull in popular actors and actresses who actually fit into the roles superbly. | 10 |
Such a horrible horrible movie, bad acting even from Ryan Reynolds, bad script, and plot, the only thing saving it trying to see what action sequences they come up with next | 4 |

Tried watching it a third time yesterday and I still see nothing else than a childish, ridiculous, laughably bad movie with mediocre CGI and effects.. The plot is a mess and the actors over-acting like a it was some kind of a bad comedy. Maybe this second movie a little bit more original than the first Spidey, but better? Maybe slightly. And I still hate it. It's just bad. | 4 |
Gave this a 5 just because it is just a yawner.
The only good thing this movie did for me was allow me to do some laundry and the dishes while it rambled on.
WAY too long!
Overall just a bore.
Pretty much the same as the Dark Knight Rises. About an hour too long.
I really enjoyed the first movie in this trilogy and the third was way too long just like this stinker.
I'm going to enjoy the little Bat lover comments when they start crying over my review. i can almost hear them now..."Oh, I've never met anyone at a Bat convention that did not like this movie. You must be demented! I must get you in my Bat embrace and wrench the goodness out of your review!"
Bat lovers rest your dreary eyes. This one is truly a sleeper. ZZZZZZ..... | 5 |
Just seemed pointless, looked like the aim was for smart and witty but it just came across as pompous and boring. I have never liked Ryan's work other than the episodes of breaking bad he directed and looper had WAY to much praise, this film seems to follow suit, hope knives out 2 is better. | 1 |
Boy George talk about over rated drivel. This show could have been good. Hell it could have been excellent but why did they cast Noah Schnapp? He can't act his way out of a wet paper bag with help from a loud audience yelling the way. Must suck to have peaked at eight years old man but what the whatever. Scenes without this cat are ok but when he he in it it just ranks like a merkava man whatever but they shouldn't have cast him. Fifty cent ain't worth a dime but he can outperform Noah schnapp man. What a disgrace. This thing got schnapp all over it and stinks to high heaven and it a stink you ain't gettin out of your schnoz. | 3 |
This is a must watch. Superbly acted and directed. This is an important film that has done justice to the people that lost their lives to this tragedy. | 9 |
During the movie I was taken away by the "One Shot" feel, which faded out the average story and clichés. Only after the movie I realised that it wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be. I do not think this movie would have gotten alot of praise if it wasn't for the brilliant cinematography. Never the less it was entertaining to watch, and I could recommend to go and watch it. | 7 |
"Loki" looked like it was just going to be another marvel spin-off show that wouldn't build off the MCU in any interesting or new way. But to my surprise it does much more than just those two things. It introduces new and fun characters who work well off each other, and a concept that adds so much to the MCU, with a fresh and interesting take of alternate timelines. Marvel's best show so far. | 7 |
Movies can either entertain or edify; ideally, they do both. Pulp Fiction failed to entertain me. Perhaps that's just me. I grant it's funny in places, but I couldn't manage laughter in the middle of a homosexual rape, a gangland hit, a drug overdose, a kid getting his head blown off, etc. I suppose I must be abnormal in some way.
Does it edify? It makes many references to other films; I don't think that counts. It shows us (several times) how crucial timing can be in visiting the restroom. No, I don't think that's it either. Some say it's about the "redemption" of the Jackson and Willis characters. Whatever redemption may have taken place seems very superficial and unconvincing.
On the positive side, several of the performances were brilliant. The screenplay is undeniably clever. But that's not enough to make me want to recommend this movie to someone. | 3 |
