I have watched many series and I am big fan of TV series. I just finished episode 5 of the The Witcher but got no clue what's going on. The story jumps from one plot to another without proper development. Nothing is clearly explained. I just gave up... | 6 |
The first (and the best, in my opinion) Dragon Ball series.
Very underrated to this very day , being often overlooked in order to focus only in the events from Dragon Ball Z...But honestly, skipping the original Dragon Ball as a whole, if anything lessens all the enjoyement the sequel series could have.
If I have started watching Dragon Ball Z without having seen Dragon Ball first (Like many fans from the United States did) I would have been completely lost, completely unable to follow the story and the way the characters interact.
In Dragon Ball we are able to witness the very beginning of Goku's journey and how he meet his friends, and the way he kept improving himself as a fighter. The emotional impact of the deaths of some characters in the first arc of Dragon Ball Z is largely connected with the original series.
Piccolo's transition from villain to hero is not as good without having the chance of seeing how he firstly appeared in the series as the main antagonist. (And honestly, is the most convincing redemption arc from Dragon Ball, along with the change of heart Tenshinhan had)
Some people dismiss the series simply because of its whimsical nature, focusing mostly in the "serious" parts (Like the Frieza and Cell saga), but being fun and whimsical is precisely one of the biggest charms Dragon Ball as whole has, opposed to other, more dramatic fighting shonen anime, including those series inspired by Dragon Ball.
Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Super have tried to capture the same kind of charm the original series had, without success. | 8 |
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008). There is something different about Forgetting Sarah Marshall as this romance comedy but in a good way. Jason Segel's Peter Bretter's character is more refined and credible in his comedic performance than Matthew Perry's Oz Oseransky character in The Whole Nine Yards (2000) even as both their character share similar personas. Kristen Bell's inevitably second to Mila Kunis's character (later Best Actress Oscar winner in Black Swan) surprisingly retains a powerful and in ways sympathetic presence almost to the end, which is only saved by the unusual insert sequence with the ending credits. There is something honest and gripping in the script as it presence relational turmoil and regretful mistakes on the part of its characters. The overall movie has a charm, lightness, but doesn't avoid some darker elements as well as a genuinely sensitive and humorous and touching musical rendition of a Dracula character. | 8 |
Don't watch this peace of crap unless you want the most disappointing experience ever! I can sum this film up in a few sentences to describe it. bereaving , turning , twisting through space bereaving MORE heavy, turning FASTER and FASTER . Now twisting, bereaving Heavy. Running out or air to bereave. Waiting, waiting... wasting my time! and waiting for something to happen! IS something going to happen ? Oh my goodness something happen, you guessed it! More twisting turning faster and faster, bereaving more heavy. W(ere)TF is the alien ? watch this and you be waiting for ever for something to happen. I love scifi almost all scifi's But this is total crap. I don't understand how its got such a high rating. I Pray to God that films like this never get made again, otherwise i'm going to have to stop watching scifi. maybe its my taste but maybe not as lots of other people I know have the some view as me about this film. Checkout the Turbo Kid! now that's a scifi! | 1 |
I read good reviews about this and I was curious to watch it on Netflix. Turns out, it's a classic set up of murder in a mansion with a small group of people who all have reasons to do away with the victim.
So far so good and of course the victim is filthy rich, in this case a bestsellers writer with a family of losers and hangers-on. The investigation starts and enters the PI, Daniel Craig in a weird turn as Benoit, the detector with a most grating accent but most of all, enters the derailing political correctness in the shape of angelic Latino nurse Marta.
Some say it's a "choral movie" but to me it looked pretty much from Marta's POV, as a main character who's in most scenes, while the victim's family disappears in the background. Benoit is Marta's sidekick and by the end of the movie you get the "message" loud and clear: rich white folks bad, Latino woman good.... And don't be fooled by the red herrings. | 4 |
Red Sparrow swiftly moves through psychological mind games as Russia vs. U. S. Espionage continues in true fashion. However, is it REALLY the traditional spy games or are there times when those straight lines wind and get blurred? You're left guessing as everything unfolds- drawn in to figure it out for yourself. History and some recent events show us this post Cold War practice is still utilized. Russian female agents have been trained to use their sexuality and intellect as Swallows, also referred to here as Sparrows. Not a Spoiler as IMDB includes this description on the page.
The training the main character Dominika receives is a dual exploration into the psychology of Russia's mechanisms to infiltrate U. S. intelligence and other countries. Is she a victim or willing participant: a true Russian Patriot: and what drives her to continue in this capacity for Mother Russia? Trainees are mentally molded through a number of reprehensible activities. Does Dominika survive and employ her new powerful role without mental consequences?
All players are fashioned into believable integral roles. No performance is written in without purpose. They are seamless and you find them either villainous or in some cases actually endearing.
Red Sparrow is worth the watching yet do so without reading the Synopsis, Trivia, or Goof sections first. The movie draws you in and keeps you guessing the outcome until the end. Well worth your time. | 10 |
The good: score, cinematography, editing. The OK: the acting, the bad: most of the characters are annoying especially the girl who is almost entirely snarky and bratty and is as foul mouthed as any sailor was. The direction and dialogue is tedious and formulaic like so many mini series these days. It's almost like they were written by bots.
It's of course still a zombie movie that has just enough action to keep you interested. The zombies seem to come out of holes in the ground and it gets weirder. The story moves back and forth seemingly as slow as possible with very few action scenes but plenty of pointless talkie scenes. I give it a 6... barely watchable and feeling somewhat taken in. | 6 |
I wanted to see a funny movie about gangs in an Indian city. The IMDB description said this was a "comedy". This was no comedy; it was a bloodletting. | 2 |
What a ridiculous move. No plot, boring, and drawn out nonsense. When writers don't explain the plot or meaning, it's just lazy writing.... skip this trash!!! | 1 |
I loved the movie since its release in 2019 i watched again and again & again thanks lokesh & karthi acted so good. Please make kaithi 2 & vikram 2 soon ..waiting for Vijay's Leo & hope more upcoming projects of lokesh kanagaraj kamal haasan karthi vijay & surya.about this kaithi movie its does not have songs comedy and nothing only action & mass from the introduction of Dilli & also the climax when the villain reveals karthi name is Dilli & the fighting sequence & boom blast at the end also so good anyway all & all tq so much to the director by making Kaithi Master Vikram & also maanagaram thanks. | 10 |
The Godfather part II is the only sequel I have seen that is better than the first. It was an amazing movie that kept my attention despite it's 200 minute running time. Fine performances by Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, and Robert De Niro made tis movie one of my all time favorites. | 9 |
I was reluctant to see "Barbie", but yesterday my wife wanted to watch it, maybe because if the hype. What a waste of time! "Barbie" (2023) is a long and boring ad of a doll's manufacturer, maybe expecting to increase its sales. It is impressive how, in the present days, people (or maneuvering mass) are manipulated by "influencers", bots or questionable "professional" critics. The only attraction in this bizarre movie is the beauty of Margot Robbie; even the excellent Ryan Gosling probably has received a large amount of money to be of service of such a ridiculous character. Fortunately, there are other viewers that agree with my view of this forgettable dull film. There is still hope on the real world. My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "Barbie" | 3 |
This has something that all others dont have, a really clear idea of what spider man struggles with and what he has so sort out before he can perform 100%, you really have a great character development here. No obvious plot holes here neither, you get really caught up with the story. I recommend watching this in 4k, the video and sound quality is crazy good even for todays standards, well worthy of the oscar nominations and wins! | 10 |
Please watch it in theater's... U will not regret ...it's a pure and finely crafted film for cinema lovers.... | 10 |
I'm sorry, but I just couldn't do it. I could not finish this movie on Disney plus even with all the time in the world. How on earth does this have a 7?!?? The acting alone...whew! Great visuals, but the voices are so slow and unemotional. It's like they're trying to entertain a 2-3 yr old audience. To be fair I only made it to the 30 minute mark but from the other reviews I've seen, I apparently did myself a favor. Do yourself one too. Just don't. Go watch the cartoon one. It's a billion times better anyway. 2 for effort. Sort of. | 2 |
I missed this in the cinema and was going to watch it on Blu-Ray but by his own rational there's no point in me doing that and wasting my money. | 5 |
I loved the 1st season, and I was excited for 2nd season. But after a couple of episodes it's clear this show is falling short of the original creativity, going off on unnecessary tangents. The cast of supported characters also falls short, with the acting level not very convincing. I think the 2nd season is disappointing compared to the 1st so far, hopefully maybe they can get back on track. | 5 |
This movie is not worth watching unless you are looking for beautiful shots, sets, and cinematography.
It is poorly written, with a confusing and derivative plot that tries to shock the viewer with twists and reveals but ultimately falls short. There were a few moments where I thought the movie might improve, but the ending completely ruined any potential it had.
If you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you may find it entertaining, but otherwise, you should avoid it.
PS: I paused the movie to read the napkin when it appeared on screen, but it made no sense and was in line with the rest of this poorly written film. | 4 |
Alright, so Americans are obsessed with the end of the world and their own annihilation. This leads them to be overly aggressive when dealing with any situation. This show does nothing but make them feel like there's something to be afraid of, something that needs to be either shot or blown up. I guarantee this show is responsible for some very bad treatment of middle eastern civilians, cause they are of course the enemy. so as far as his show goes, its not only bad, its not only poorly acted, poorly written and poorly shot, its also a shining example of just how simple minded people are, if you're reading this thinking to yourself how good this show actually is, then take a gun, shove it up your own ass and pull the trigger, cause morons like you should just go away and let the rest of us live in our normal, non terror filled world, because to let you in on a little secret, the taliban was created by the U.S government and chances are you will never be killed by a terrorist | 1 |
Great series. The first three episodes are a little strange, but it gets really good once things are explained and turns into a great Marvel series. There are some really good characters introduced and a very interesting story. Worth the watch. | 8 |
Extraction is Tightly Packed from the very beginning and keeps you hooked to the screen with its Well-choreographed (High-Octane) Action Sequences, a Heart-Thudding Background Score and Brilliant Camera Work. The story of film looks strictly Decent Chris Hemsworth has been hired on a mission to Extract a boy, the kidnapped son of an Indian Drug lord, held in captive by a gangster from Bangladesh. Subsequently, as things fly off the handle, and with an armed professional behind his back, the remainder of the movie explores how Chris Hemsworth manages to protect this boy's life while hanging on a suicide mission that manages to get deadlier every single second. Screenplay by Joe Russo is Strictly okey as the Depth & Exciting twists in the story is missing but Director Sam Hargrave has executed Brilliantly and Delivered the full dose of Entertainment BG Music by Henry Jackman and Alex Belcher is impactful. Newton Thomson Nigel's camera work amazes you by capturing the streets of Bangladesh stunningly, and the stunt scenes, especially the continuous shots during the fight sequences are highly enjoyable. Director Sam Hargrave has really gone out of the way to capture some shots we haven't seen on this scale in a long time. Chris Hemsworth,who stood out throughout the film and Delivered outstanding Performance.Randeep Hooda too succeeds to steal the show with his spectacular performance. Rudhraksh as Ovi does justice to his role. Pankaj Tripathi and Priyanshu Painyuli get little to do. | 7 |
It is a good film, quite artistic since it is not governed so much by the words of the characters but by the cinematography, music, landscapes and even the simple looks of the characters, and the tension scenes are quite well achieved. I give it 6 stars because there is no real plot or character development, so it gets repetitive very quickly. | 6 |
Massively disappointing. The main issue was the structure, or lack thereof, and lack of explaining characters other than on a superficial level. Episode 3 has a pointless, 30 minute prologue before the title sequence. No idea why. Michael Sheen goes from quaint to annoying very quickly. The whole thing comes across as farcical. The idea of angels and demons as modern incarnations is solid, until we are met with a laughably stereotypical Satan at the end. A sorely missed opportunity. It could have been great. | 5 |
I could not believe how disappointing this movie was. The cast was full of nothing short of an all-star lineup. So many favorites but the storyline was so slow I kept losing interest. It felt as though half the script was missing as if they changed the direction midstream and then tried to turn back again. | 2 |
I know this is one of the famous movies all the time, but to be honest, it really boring to me.
The blue faces characters were creepy and they're acting so fake sometimes. And I couldn't get the messages from the story.
I think this movie Incorporated 3D in the movie theater so it got so much attention. I watched it on Disney Plus so I couldn't enjoy the effect.
In my opinion, this movie is overrated. I don't think I'll be watching it again. | 2 |
Weak. Special effects do not a great film make. With an all-star cast, with the likes of Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman, one would expect more character and plot development. However, Batman Begins is little more than a synopsis of many subplots lifted from 60 years of batman comic books haphazardly crammed into one film. No characters are really developed to any great degree, so it is difficulty to feel anything towards them. Sure, comic book fans will delight in the appearance of less well known characters like Ra's al Ghul, but they are ultimately shallow, and the feeble attempts to throw in a moral component to the hero's motivation is just not convincing. | 4 |
Robot is good, mother is annoying with some of her actions, dr.smith is very very much annoying with all her actions. Without any reason she is trying to kill, hurt everyone, including the robot, spaceship, anyone in the family. But why?!!! Dont watch l have stopped already. :( | 1 |
Feels like the film is unfinished. Looks interesting then becomes boring with a non sense ending. Scarlett is the only good thing. | 4 |
No idea why this film has done so well. Maybe it was low expectations, love of Tom Hardy but the film is all over the place. Hardy starts off as a hard bitter journo and ends up mugging and pulling faces like Arnie in his comedy phase! On the plus side, it doesn't take itself too seriously and there is some fun. However a bloated mess. | 3 |
6/10 - was not the biggest fan of the new animation style nor the plot of the film/comic - in the end, I don't feel like it lived up to the hype | 6 |
Whats going on with this B/W showing on half screen and with annoying laughing background on the jokes which aren't worth laughing. If all the 9 episodes are like these old time boring laughter shows god helps us. | 3 |
I was super excited to see this and it was a total bore. It was ridiculously and unnecessarily long and there was nothing new here - Pacino, De Niro and Pesci playing the exact same characters they have played in every mafia movie before this. Scorcese may be a legend but the pace and storytelling here dragged on and on. There is a good chance Hoffa's body will be discovered before this movie actually ends. | 2 |
Iron Man 2 lags behind it's prequel only in the Music Department and the Antagonist. John Debney's score doesn't have the uniqueness of Ramin Djawadi tracks. Djawadi's 'Driving with the Top Down' is an unforgettable score while nothing of Debney's is noticeable. U can hear the BGM here but it won't register in ur mind.
But that's not a big deal. The problem here is that neither of the three enemy's of Stark (Ivan Vanko, Justin Hammer & Tony's Palladium core) make an impact. The impending death of Tony due to his Palladium dependent Arc-Reactor does make up for an interesting plot but it always seems like Tony will find a replacement somehow. Whereas both Vanko & Hammer are more annoying than menacing. Neither of them match up to Obadiah Stane.
Apart from these two, the sequel is much better than the prequel. The first Iron Man movie has already set the bars high. The sequel takes it even further up. Especially the action sequences which are much better than the prequel. The CGI is so good that the suits look real enough. Even after a decade, the visual effects don't look dated. The story has so many plots going on. Yet Director Jon Favreau has successfully kept the focus on Tony throughout the film. Every plot is centered around tony. And RDJ, the face of MCU's Infinity Saga, just nailed it. Only if the Antagonists have been more impactful, the Sequel would have beaten the prequel. | 7 |
I swear just watched first half die hard fan I didn't like the start of this serious but I grew to love the cast, previews for nest episode show a time lapse with older characters not played by the same actors!!!
I swear you forced me to fall in love with the original cast. If you change this cast... I will continue to support the series. But that was a monumental mistake. We established a bond with this cast!! And it was earned, I'm sorry to see them go If that was the case but much money lost, you could have dragged this series out with original staff now me have to get used to new characters!
You don't don't do that unless that's the whole premise. I'm heartbroken. I want to see my characters future develope. I just hope the preview for future episodes were misleading. | 8 |
Eh, it only okay. Most of my complaints are with the writer themselves. As far as animes go, it's fine for children I guess. It's mildly funny once in awhile, but mostly uninteresting. | 4 |
Alright, this is a good movie. It has breathtaking action, a great villain, a dark atmosphere and even some kind of a story. But after having seen it for the second time I think its still a bit over-rated. At least my oh-so-high expectations had me leaving the cinema with a hint of disappointment. Moral dilemma's sure are there, but they seem rather shallow after reading such ecstatic reviews. I hate to admit this, being a Batman fan since 'Batman Returns' came out. I think the whole hype around this actually spoiled my viewing pleasure. My advice is; if you're planning to go see it, don't expect too much. You'll like it better. Although the whole movie certainly isn't flawless, Heath Ledgers Joker steals the show, and is, along with the spectacular driving scenes, one of the main attractions to the film. I hope Chris Nolan is willing to make another one. It'll give me the chance to ignore all ads and reviews and love it just as it is... I really want to! | 6 |
Not so interesting. dont want to waste money on this bollywood | 1 |
It is full of incomprehensible light and shadows, unclear stories, special effects flying to the sky, and countless bugs. Hit the close-up mirror, and the next shot is back. Even if you are a director, you are not a storyteller. At least you should be dedicated and take care of the special effects of the video. | 4 |
I figured that if someone wrote this story 50 years ago, readers would have said, "This idea is a bit old-fashioned. Is Australian cinema half a century behind the curve? I thought the reminiscences in the first half of the film were interesting because the reminiscences in the first half of the film created a unique atmosphere. Usually, screenwriters are careful not to include reminiscence in reminiscences. So when I saw it in this film, I thought, "Oh? " And Later I was like, "Oh, so that's what happened," Then, for me, well, story wasn't that surprising . Even so, the reason this film is not a bad film is because of the sharpness of the script. The fact that no extra characters are included in the story is good. Also, there is no inflated episode at all. Everything is neatly fitted in like a well-done short story, and it's easy to watch with a sense of speed. Also, the fact that there are no extra characters and the story is organized with only the necessary ones creates a very strange feeling. | 6 |
This "sequel" lacks all of the charm, momentum, mystery and fun that the original Knives Out had.
It looks like the director tried to escalate things into a larger magnitude, but forgot about the essence of the first movie and everything that made it a good story in the first place. If it wasn't for Daniel Craig's character, nobody would guess this story is even in the same universe as the first one.
Goofy acting, poor directing, dumb plot, even dumber payoff. You could see the "bad guy" from a mile away.
I really, REALLY, wanted to like this movie. Maybe if it was an original story with different characters, I would have enjoyed more.
Is it above average as a Netflix release? Yes. But this only means that is not pure garbage, as they mostly are. I saw that there is a third one in the making, I just wish they can remember what was it that made the first movie a good one. | 5 |
It was one of the best movie I have ever seen. The reality of the person whose life was not goin in the right direction in any way and comeback was excellent. | 9 |
It's just my opinion this movie waste of time, not deserved 1 minutes of the 2 hours I spend watching disappointed movies, unfortunately big stars like Daniel Craig and Edward Norton, Kate Hudson unfairly accept to act for such disappointed movie, just don't watch it not recommended at all. They just made me write 600 letters so I'm just gonna fill the rest of the review with words , happy new year everyone best of luck to everyone thank you for reading my review it's my pleasure to spread information wish you all the best enjoy your new year with success and happiness see you later in other reviews. | 1 |
I can't bear movies like this.
The hero will obviously win in the end.
But what's really stupid is there must be a million rounds loosed off in his direction and he doesn't die, but every time he shoots his gun he hits.
You might like this if you're 13, but otherwise it's an hour too long and not worth your time. | 2 |
Many gripping scenes and visuals mask a basically sophomoric story. Overlong and overwrought. Acting is mediocre. | 3 |
Well, I know when I utter the words "plot hole", my friends will ask me whether I have heard of "suspension of disbelief". In a lot of movies I am (really?) willing to overlook occasional incongruent details or fill in the gaps just for the pure enjoyment, but unfortunately, Inception is not one of those movies, and it suffered because it was unable to weave together a convincing tale for me.
Why? Because the very thing that holds this movie together IS the complexity and ingenuity of layering out subconsciousness. It was *supposed* to be clever, believable for some far distant future, it was supposed to be something that challenges the viewer to question reality... or at least so was my expectation, especially after seeing such high scores on IMDb and RottenTomatoes.
Throughout the movie I couldn't help but try to unravel the over- convoluted plot, which was thrown at the viewer so quickly and so conclusively, moving right off to the next thing before the viewer had a breath to digest exactly what had been fed to them, so as to sweep any unpleasant signs of discrepancy or contradiction under the rug. Trying to figure out exactly what is happening and why certain things are so turned out to be a mistake, because answering questions only led to even more questions and that certainly was a point of distraction for me.
In short, as the title of this review says, it was no Matrix (and I'm only speaking of the 1999 movie, forget the sequels). Perhaps it had tried to be, certainly now, 11 years later, this duality between reality and mind is no longer as novel as what it had been at the time of Matrix, so maybe they tried to compensate for this by complicating things up, you know, the "hey, if this isn't new, I'm sure compounding this by X times is!" idea. But it looked like that was just too much for them to handle with a handful of plot holes, loose ends not well tied up, etc etc. And when the plot holes reside in the crux of the story, if one were to generously overlook those... well, there just won't be very much else left.
I am sorry to be so critical, but just as I'd expect great fighting scenes from an action flick, great chemistry from a romance, when a movie like Inception is pivoted in virtual reality -- in fact, virtual reality so real that it fools the characters within the movie, well, it better be very convincing for me too.
On the positive side, I definitely enjoyed the special effects, the cinematography was very well done, and the entire cast did an excellent job at acting. So yeah, if you are good with letting go of your rational logic self and not caring too much about the what's and why's and how's, then this movie will certainly take you on a very exciting ride. Just, it's not my cup of tea. | 6 |
Captain America has to be the best movie of all the Marvel Movies for Phase 2. Way better than Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 I'll say. Compare to the other Marvel movies this one has a darker tone compare the recent Marvel movies we've seen own by Disney. The Plot: Captain America in our era not just have to deal about the changing times in America but also our government as well.In this film S.H.I.E.L.D becomes too protected and Nick Fury played by actor Samuel L Jackson becomes paranoid by outside supernatural, super powered threats and even people that work inside his work force. Among the others that work for S.H.I.E.L.D, Captain America sees what's the moral issue with Nick Fury's security plan.You can really understand Captain America's disagreement to Nick Fury how the world should be protected. Captain America Winter Soldier is not just a Captain America film or a superhero film its political thriller.
The action in this movie is outstanding and fights are better than any Marvel movie I've seen so far. Black Window played by Scarlett Johansson has to be one of the best characters in movie next to Anthony Mackie who played the Falcon. The mysterious Antagonist the "Winter Soldier" has barley in dialogue in the film but even with small lines actor Sebastian Stan is able to make his character feel so epic and intense. Robert Redford who plays the character Alexandra Pierce is know to be in major serious roles in films, plays an aging head of S.H.I.E.L.D agent that shares a strong relationship with both Nick Fury and The Winter Soldier.
Overall the movie is the best Marvel I've seen so far and I encourage everyone to watch it even if your a Marvel fan, DC fan or not even a comic book fan at all. | 9 |
This is the worst film ever! 1) The storyline is crap - absolutely nothing happens - no climax no nothing - the whole thing was just B-O-R-I-N-G 2)Being an Asian, I think the film has a lot of racist implications - most Japanese people are portrayed as weird, even stupid and they are made fun of because they do not speak English. *But the Americans in this film ARE the strange people in Japan - they speak absolutely no Jpanaese but they still had a lot of respect from Japanese. 3)Bill Murray was way too old *and ugly* for Scarlett Johansson so the whole thing was a bit messed up anyway. 4)Like loads of people thing this film conveys some deep meaningful messages of life - but it does not at all - it's just a story of two people who have no idea what life is about, let alone how to enjoy it
Juts coz this film got tons of awards people feel like they have to say it's good after they have woken up just before the end
if you haven't seen it - DO NOT! | 1 |
After a long time Netflix is here again with Radhika and Rajkumar and they looked refreshed . Rajkumar after doing so many typecast roles is now looking afresh . The main highlight was the 90s renewed songs with elegant screenplay . Thoroughly enjoyed the story and the ending too . Its a decent fun dark crime story . U will be impressed by the crisp binding suspense . Hope netlix brings more projects on this genre ...They have done ka good adaptation ...yess the pacing off the film lacked sometimes but it will be not a concern as the comic timings were nice all through the film ...Feeling bored engineering students ..watch it. | 10 |
I enjoyed the movie which takes off a bit like the Doordarshan documentary of the yore which is made tolerable only by the rasping narration of that genius Piyush Mishra. The historical narrative was really unnecessary and could have been dramatically played out in a shorter frame. It not only prolonged the movie but also delayed the development of the main plot, speaking of which I was a tad disappointed. A movie is an audio visual narration of a story. It needs to be different from a television serial. GOW's progress is more of a series of interesting episodes rather than a firm plot. It's another matter that Kashyap has managed to pull it off but at the end of it all one does start wondering about what one has just watched. There is a heavy emphasis on blood and gore and even heavier on profanities under the garb of realism. Oh yes, it had the audience freaking out especially when it's the female character mouthing them. Of late there have been a spate of movies, all relating to the Indo Gangetic Plain, which have freely used the vernacular color to the language more as a shock value rather than depiction of common conversation. I am certainly not a prude but I do shudder to think of what would be the end product if the Punjabi movie makers were to follow suit. Poor Santa and Banta are like soap water to this strong refresher course in abuses. But there's a sequel! The second part, of which a long trailer is shown after the end credits, promises to raise the bar further. And that also brings me to the concept of two part movies. It would be great fun if a saga is played out in different time periods but then each part has to be complete in itself. GOW fails here. Just when you thought things were getting interesting you are left dangling with a promise for more. The extended climax was needless and not in sync with story line that you were following. Maybe redemption follows in the next part. So what makes the movie work? For one it remains faithful to the milieu it is woven around. The spoken language, never mind the ear scorching expletives, does immense credit to the script writer. There is complete irreverence to the gross violence which is offset by the quirky and earthy humor. Extensively shot on location, the background of small towns, ordinary faces caught in extraordinary circumstances and racy dialogs combine to form an interesting potpourri. Mercifully the politicians and the gangsters have not been caricatured. The protagonists are the ordinary people, loving husbands and carnal adventurers who seek to justify every action as divinely decreed. And that sets Anurag Kashyap apart as leading the pack of parallel cinema makers. He manages to combine high drama and recognizable realism. The other makers of gangster sagas in Bollywood (read Ram Gopal Verma) have never been able to get over their obsession with the Godfather series so I am particularly delighted at the prospect of developing our own cult series and I do hope it goes beyond the revenge theme. The performances are power packed without exception. Manoj Bajpayee sizzles as the revenge seeking ordinary driver turned gang lord and his understated approach to the role is near perfect. Tigmanshu Dhulia dons the actor's mantle to portray the character based on Surya Deo Singh and acquits himself as the calculating Mafiosi pretty effectively. The honors however must go to Richa Chadda for her feisty portrayal of Manoj Bajpayee's strong headed wife who reluctantly accepts his philandering ways. She brought the house down when she exhorts him to eat well lest he "under performs" on his nocturnal trysts. Classic one liners like this keep the viewers interest alive just when the play begins to drag a little. I have to spare a few lines for Piyush Mishra. Maybe it's a little premature to say so but for once I am going to stick my neck out and dare to compare him with the all round mad genius of Kishore Kumar. This man is extraordinary. A writer, singer and an actor to boot !! I first saw, nay experienced his genius in Gulaal and was completely taken in by the force of his talent. GOW only further strengthens my belief that we are witnessing the unfolding of a legend. Like the great Kishore, he too does not respect any boundaries to his creative abilities. Just take time out to read his lyrics (for Gulaal as well as GOW) and you will see what I mean. There have been attempts to compare Kashyap with Tarantino which I would think is an insult to our boy. The only movie that makes Tarantino worthy is "Inglorious Bastards". But I have to admire him for the music selection for his films. And that is where he is comparable to our laddie. The music of GOW, so rustic in the Bhojpuri flavor, is a delight. I wonder if you have ever heard names like Sneha Khanwalkar, the Musahar of Sundarpur, Ranjeet Baal Party & Manish Tiwari. They are the guys who bring the tradition of minstrels of Bihar & UP alive. While Piyush Mishra transports you right back to the 50s with his soulful ballad the catchy beats of "Hunter" and "O Womaniya" will have your feet tapping. And then there is the highly unusual "Bhaiyya" which is just a rhythmic beat, at best a Bhojpuri trance fusion. Awesome stuff but everyone is going to talk about the risqué song. If you can ignore the double meaning it is going to ring in your ears for a long time to come. I already have the entire album and am a repeat listener. There is so much to like and/or criticize and so less to ignore. Kashyap is going to be liked by some and hated by others but he is never going to be ignored. Way to go ! | 9 |
This was disgusting please if you are reading this dont waste your time just dont watch it im legit mad. | 3 |
I like that they are doing something strange and original. I like the attempt...
I just think it falls totally flat.
The first 3 episodes are honestly pretty tedious to sit through. Corny crappy jokes as they satirize old time TV -- they just drag horribly all for a twist that they could've revealed in the first episode and spared us all the corny walk down tv's memory lane.
It's too much. Way too much.
And the bad joke extends into later episodes too as they go through tv history.
Yeah they capture the various eras well, but so what? None of it is funny in the slightest. It's also very redundant, they basically repeat over and over the same ideas.
They aren't being creative, they're washing rinsing and repeating this over and over and over... and the result is boredom.
And if they were going to write old time tv sitcom, why couldn't they at least do a good job and make it witty -- make it smart. But this is nothing like that. It's intentionally cheesy and corny.
None of this is witty whatsoever. Never laughed or smiled a single time and I'm done episode 5 now.
it's taking way too long to pay off the set ups.
And the pay off isn't nearly as groundbreaking as it needs to be considering the time they make us invest in the set up. The pay off (I won't spoil it), but the pay off is pretty meh. Not terribly clever or anything.
Only done 5 episodes so far -- but I think most ppl reviewing this are being way too generous.
This is not very good nor well written stuff. Not impressed by any of it -- except I'm happy they are trying something unique here.
At least it's not cliche, like most stuff.
When it gets weird, when the creepy pay-offs are the focus, it gets more interesting. But it dallies endlessly and fruitlessly on the lame sitcom stuff...
I think the only reason people are staying on board with this is because it's Marvel.
Vastly overrated IMO. Cannot possibly recommend this. | 4 |
Not gonna say much this show has already wasted my time. Its a boring slug and were 4 episodes in of a 6 episode arc and nothing has happened to move the story forward the only thing here moving forward is Disney's politics! | 2 |
The movie repeatedly refers to events that happened in past movies as though viewers are intimately familiar with those details. If you don't really remember what happened there, be prepared for an eternity (2:45) of asking what's going on. Thankfully though, there is still enough new material to keep the movie reasonably interesting on its own.
I was left feeling unclear about Bane's motives for wanting control of Gotham City and I didn't understand the financial arrangements that Bane invoked to inflict pain.
Plenty of the police elements were ridiculous, for example, how could the sewer gang grow so large without the police knowing about it? Furthermore, Bane not only pre-empts, but relies upon some of the police's actions even though those actions are only triggered by what's presented as genius breakthroughs.
Batman's habit of refusing to use guns is childishly naïve, inconsistent and it occasionally causes the deaths of police. This is a movie that gave me a strong urge to yell at the screen and give advice to the main character. | 6 |
I love anything with superhero themed concepts and that includes The Misfits, if you don't know it, then you're missing out.
So, first of all and this must be said. The lead's ability is lame in my opinion, she should perhaps be a side character because she doesn't play a lead character well at all and her acting is a little meh. Perhaps, someone like Danielle Rose Russel.
What I do enjoy about the show though, is the shows is a more realistic reality of what would more than likely happen if you really had powers. It's raw, uncut and there's lots of blood which I'm there for. I do think the writers have to work on the characters abilities though. I'll be happy to suggest some decent ones.
I definitely think there's room for improvement. I personally feel it needs someone who can bring some humour to the show, similar to the skinny guy from 'the Boys'. Humour really helps to keep people engaged in a show and so far I'm not that compelled to binge watch it.
The current actors are a little meh but I do appreciate Chance Perdomo as a familiar face from 'chilling adventures of Sabrina'. | 8 |
After the battle in Sokovia, the world government made rules to regulate the activities of the Avengers so as not to cause more damage. This plan creates a rift between Iron Man and Captain America, causing a civil war between them.
Civil War is the anti-climax of the Avengers story along with Iron Man and Captain America. A political story involving two camps that makes the storyline not focused on Captain America's story alone. This film goes deeper and further into their internal problems as members of a group containing superheroes. Civil War has brought a sense of division from the beginning of the story. Making this film is quite firm and fast enough to show their side of internal divisions. Similar to the previous film (The Winter Soldier), Civil War brings the story of the Avengers with dense material. The plot is not much with a long-winded drama story, but comes with conflicts that come continuously. Neatly constructed in every scene and dialogue. Also a good story is brought gradually to the problem of the story. One of the excitement of Civil War is the presence of new characters such as Black Panther and Spider-Man. There is also a large portion for Vision and Scarlett Witch in this film. One more interesting and exciting thing is the battle scene both at the airport and the two-on-one battle between Tony Stark, Steve Rogers and Bucky. Unfortunately in this case, Zemo got an unsatisfactory story completion even though Zemo's performance in this film was very stunning and memorable. | 9 |
I don't understand why people like this show so much. It's advertised as a zombie show but it's not actually one. I think there's been maybe three scenes with zombies in the entire series. Plus they ignore the entire plot line that she carries special blood, which is what was going to make this story interesting or novel and could have set up some really great storylines and conversations and characters, but that never happens. The fact she has special blood and immunity is never really discussed. And the goal of reaching someone who can do something with her special blood just seems to dissipate.. What a missed opportunity. And then multiple episodes focus on random characters or storylines that don't contribute to the overall story or characters and just seem to waste our time. The writing is nothing special and the characters are often stupid, making stupid decision after stupid decision, that it just takes me out of the show and I lose interest. So it just gets frustrating to watch because I don't know what the point is. | 4 |
This was a fun movie to watch with great visuals, but 7 oscars? Give me a break. Interstellar was much more cerebral and a better film overall. | 7 |
Liked starring of Golshifte Farahani and her awesome accent. Full of shooting and heroing of an american. | 4 |
After seeing the season through the genuine feeling is the show teases a lot, but delivers very little substance. Feels like a 1.5 hr movie stretched into 4.5 hrs which is then chopped and stretched for 9 weeks with each episodes run time taken up with 10 minute ending credits. Just a desperate attempt from disney to stop people from cancelling their subscription for a streaming platform with nothing new to offer. If this is dinseys new direction dripfeeding content 30 minutes a week it doesn't justify the cost of subscription to me. They rely on the brand of marvel, yet now using it's weakest content. | 4 |
Where is it heading, i think the creators have run short of ideas or how to implement them. It used to rely n tech concepts, questioning morality, shocking incidents all close to reality. The latest season is just another netflix usual like the "usual" serial killer, random demons etc etc "future" or "past" part all take a back seat to some mediocre story telling. Last 5 years i have been going out of my way to recommend this series to people, but now I hope they do not start from this season!
For me the biggest cons : 1. Slow and boring story telling 2. Hysterical sometimes, but not in a good way.
3. Many "oh no, why" moments where things do not make sense, and no not like the pig episode in an earlier season, disturbing but fell right in place.
4. Episodes seem like a collection of other netflix b-grade shows. | 7 |
PotC is a beautifully shot and well directed film. Almost every scene is breathtaking for it's natural beauty, immaculate set design and costuming or terrific special effects. The acting is all decent enough, though Orlando Bloom fails to develop his character into the sort of hero the film needs. Depp plays Swann with a variety of eccentric quirks and once you get used to it he is quite funny and engaging. Rush chews the scenery just enough to make his undead pirate captain a larger than (after) life monster who still oozes a nasty charm. The movie is too long and in some key scenes it fails to generate tension. Still it's an enjoyable and very well shot romp. | 6 |
The critics are stupid. This show is awesome! It doesn't follow the books exactly but it's still a great adaptation! The acting is phenomenal! | 9 |
David Productions have made a perfect adaptation of Araki's iconic manga. The studio have added a few scenes here and there, not for filler but just to flesh out the story more. The animation can be stiff but the art style is just so stylist, nobody can deny it's stunning to look at. The music is stellar all the way through and the Japanese cast are perfect in their roles. For those of you have haven't heard of this series it has a multi-generational narrative about a strange family called the Joestars. This type of story telling benefits this series greatly as it goes from a Victorian gothic horror, to an Indiana Jones style adventure, to a road trip race against time, to a murder mystery, to a gangster story, to an apocalyptic prison break. THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING! | 8 |
In the context of which Captain Marvel was better, its Brie Larson's. Shazam tried really hard. Zachary Levi did a real good role but the plot and direction was weak followed by pointless, boring and lame battle scenes. | 4 |
Don't get me wrong I loved John Wick 1. But Parabellum scenes were so repetitive u can actually see the same actor in a full body suit getting killed by Keanu Reeves with the exact same set of moves more than 20 times, only with different camera angles. It gets boring very fast. Unlike John Wick 1 they didn't even bother to count ball cartridges, the man rolls 2 cartridges in and literally shoots 10 times. | 2 |
Series is good and acting of every actor is amazing give a shot and try it story is narrated in good pace and you won't find it difficult to understand. | 8 |
Granted I've only seen the first episode, but I think this show is setting up fairly decently. I enjoyed the pacing and character development of Steven/Marc, but it didn't feel like the show I thought it was going to be. Nevertheless, I think this show is a solid 8 as of right now. I'll edit this review as time goes on once I get a taste of the filling rather than just witnessing the presentation! | 8 |
It's 20,000 year ago in Europe. Tau is the chief of a small hunter gatherer tribe. He brings along his inexperienced son Keda (Kodi Smit-McPhee) for his first hunting expedition. Keda falls off a cliff and is presumed dead. He manages to survive and fights off a pack of wolves. He injures one of the wolves and brings her back to health.
This is a nice prehistoric epic adventure. It's got good production value and good visual. It's got good characters. Taming a wild animal is questionable. A more reasonable move would be battling a mama wolf and raising the resulting orphan pups. Overall, this is a solid survival story with good thrills and follows a good character. | 7 |
I don't know what to say but 13 Reasons Why had so much potential for being a great suspense/drama. The first season was binge worthy to the max. The characters were interesting. Hannah Baker story is complex but intriguing. Tackling relatable issues teenagers/ high schoolers have experienced. I'm not a teenager but a lot of the themes introduced in this show bought back memories of stories/rumors you hear in your teens. I could honestly say the first two seasons were indeed MY favorite. I can't tell anybody to stop watching after S2 but the show lost its charm in season 3 and went overboard in 4. At least in my opinion. | 5 |
Bay shows his typical strong competence in the moment-to-moment of this movie, as with his others. Each shot looks good, each conversation is snappy and easy to watch (sometimes they're even funny), each action scene is pretty clear and easy to follow (and cool). But he also shows his typical lack of competence with the movie's big picture. The massive chunk of non-stop action that makes up the bulk of your time watching actually wears you down after a while. It goes on for so long that you briefly forget what their mission is before it mercifully comes back into focus (reluctantly). Why didn't we get a back story for the doctor? Overall you get the standard Michael Bay time here. Pretty fun and peppy, looks great, too long, story ain't much. I would for sure watch a sequel, so it's at the very least that good. | 7 |
Lady Gaga performance in this movie is the big problem. Average waitress with a face full of botox, her acting is awful. The movie is too long... sometimes you could forward 5 minutes and you wouldnt miss a thing. | 3 |
Obviously I do not understand how you can compare it with GOT, is it a joke ??? There is no investment, bad actors, zero special effects, confusing history, etc., etc. | 1 |
Till ep25 the series is 10/10, after 25, it is around 8/10. | 9 |
S01 ok. S02 not good. S03 worst ever.
All male characters are clumsy fan idiots or evil enemy monsters.
All female characters are smart know-it-all geniuses or have superpowers or superinsticts.
I'm not against the hole Russia-America Cold War theme, after all it was an important matter those days but would have preferred less of that an more of the monsters.
Dialogs are so childish and predictable they endup boring. If it's a kids show then why the gunpoint killing? Why the adultery suggestion?
If you need to add a character and want it to be gay why link her to one of the main characters?. I mean, why charge the male with even more than the already idiotic ignorant loser just-sex looking personality you already gave him and give him also the shame of pursuing love in a "closet charcter".
Not expecting the next season at all. | 4 |
Well like i said i just watch the 4 episode of twisted metal tv series because i was a fan of the games and apparently this is one of the few video game adaption that actually might have done the games justice and i was wrong it's terrible I don't know if they paid the critits or what but this is a very sad attempt at making a tv series it's like they wanted to be so bad that might actually be fun bad and people hate watch it like what happened with Velma but no both tv series terrible both unwatchble and not funny don't waist your time like me go and watch something worth while or do something enjoyable. | 2 |
"Everybody was kung fu fighting!" much more so in this sequel when compared to its predecessor. The Furious Five were slapping Shen's army of diabolical wolves left, right and centre. Master Shifu prodding his stick conveniently during the climactic battle. And a plethora of other anthropomorphic beasts harnessing the power of said martial art. This very much felt like an animated martial arts feature, one aspect the original was sorely missing. However, despite DreamWorks' best efforts in continuing Po's search in becoming the Dragon Warrior, its quality offers no improvements. Unable to surpass the boundaries of family-friendly humour that reduces the visual splendour and narrative heft to progress the story onto the next level.
Po, having realised who his parents truly are (not a goose...), must save China with the Furious Five from the malicious peacock Shen and his fascination with metallic weapons. DreamWorks constantly pump out family orientated animations with powerful morals every year. This sequel illustrating the ability to manipulate our past childhoods to shape the person we want to be. For Po, this meant ignoring the familial scars that Shen caused, producing his prepubescent abandonment. A notable moral that many should abide by, but unfortunately is weighed down by excessive comedy that diminished a vast amount of beautiful moments. Aside from the tantalising scene when Po finally discovered what happened to his parents, conveyed through mesmerising hand-drawn animated flashbacks, all other heartfelt examples were brutalised by Po's apparent requirement to exercise his bumbling personality. Black's prolific voice doesn't help matters, with a lack of sincerity to his vocal performance, but the frantic pacing and rushed sequences made for a frustrating central narrative.
That's not to say this sequel is poor, in fact it's just as consistent as its predecessor. Rather infuriating is all given the tender bamboo seeds that were lovingly planted, unable to grow into ferocious stalks. The humour, as overwhelming as it is, does provide characterisation to these animals. Po in particular. Making it hugely accessible for all members of all families to watch and enjoy.
The action sequences were splendid and vibrantly colourful, with some ingenious editing that made one chase scene resemble 'Pac-Man'. The oriental aesthetics and environments built a beautifully inclusive world for the characters to roam in. The antagonist, Shen, was far more memorable and sinister in comparison to...ummm...I forgot his name. The snow leopard? We'll go with that. Mostly due to Oldman's vocal work that has a larger range than the entirety of his filmography (and that's saying something!). The red and black lighting was, at times, excessive in depicting "evil" and surprisingly dark. No, not thematically. It was literally difficult to see anything!
Aside from that, Kung Fu Panda 2 slaps. And punches. And kicks. But also tumbles repetitively due to Po's constant buffoonery. It does however set the third film up nicely, so guess I'll have to give that a go... | 6 |
"Avatar: The Way of Water" is a mixed bag of a movie, with impressive visual effects but a lacklustre storyline. The screenplay is predictable and the runtime is unnecessarily long, bringing nothing new to the table in terms of content. The acting by the main cast is solid, but the overall movie is a snoozefest that feels more like a Nat Geo documentary rather than a blockbuster film. If you're a fan of James Cameron, you may find some enjoyment in this movie, but otherwise it falls short in terms of plot and excitement. The stunning VFX are the highlight of the film, but they alone can't save a lackluster story. | 3 |
Poor character development. Poor story. Bad copy of the first movie with soppy scenes of the old times gone. Flashbacks fail to make us feel anything. Nothing is developed, therefore the viewer cannot empathize with the character, or the story, or anything at all. Predictable and pathetic.
Watch only if you like to see planes, jets, motorcycles and cars. | 2 |
I was not considering in watching this movie in the beginning Sometimes you thinks the good rating of the movie is just for the actress But not for this movie, this movie is real thrilling like Hollywood Jurassic world obviously not dinosaurs just the thrilling part of it The story looks so real and can happen to anyone Movie is really watchable in silent environment and just ignore few of boring and then it's all thrill You will love this movie | 10 |
Apart from a few (very few) moments there really wasn't much comedy of any kind in this series.
The central character is a stereotype of a New York woman who was played out in the 70s .
Really, it's boring. | 5 |
After seeing the user rating of this flick on IMDb and hearing from a Blockbuster employee of how "brilliant" this movie is, I decided to check it out. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed. Obviously, only the true Charlie Kaufman devotees seem to like this film as indicated by the rave reviews.
The story was half-assed and the characters are shallow and uninteresting, especially Joel. The chemistry between him and Clementine is contrived from the very beginning. Throughout the entire movie, we're treated to memory after memory them together while Joel tries to hang on to each one. By the time the movie gets to the sub-plot, who really cares? The characters in this film are only about as naive as the entire cast of Mystic Pizza.
I went back to reading reviews of this movie and none of them seem to indicate why this movie is any good. I hear "good cinematography," maybe; "artsy," sure; "original," not for a Charlie Kaufman film; but I would also add lackadaisical, pedantic and half-baked. | 4 |
This movie comes to me as a recommendation and while I did delay watching it, I finally succumbed. I like Adam Sandler Romedies, I find them entertaining and while I do enjoy Drama too, the movie just turned me off. I finished watching yet because I started it, Sandler can carry a performance and I had time to kill. There's too much mumbling and too much of everything going on at each moment. My advice is to watch the trailer, and if doesn't draw you in, this movie isn't for you, your135 minutes can be better spent doing anything else. (I would rather watch Blood Diamond again.)
Now I'm not saying this is a bad movie, but I guess it's just not for everybody. And please stop labelling this as a comedy. Oh and learn basketball and the points system before you watch it, or else you won't make head or tail out of this. | 5 |
Out of a thousands movies i watch never would i thought i will make a review for this majestic movie. There will be many good films out there eventually you will forget, but not this one. Flawless acting, top notched storyline. It is similar to eden lake but it is much better. Every Emotion is portrayed in this beautiful movie. This is one of the movies i will never forget. I wish there were more revenge flicks like this. The rest of the cast has done an exceptional job and full points to all the people involved in the making of this film. I would definitely recommend this movie if you have a liking for revenge flicks.
Thank you Naveep Singh, for making such a resplendent movie. | 10 |
The C.G.I really is top notch but so much so that it takes away from the story and characters.
Toy Story C.G.I is the kind that you need to make a movie like this work , the C.G.I they used is what you want for movies that have things like dinosaurs and not dinosaurs that talk.
It'd weird to because i liked the recent Jungle Book movie a lot better yet they made the animals real looking too , i just think because the are no Human Characters there are parts of Lion King that just can't be re-done in this way.
I dont know all i can say is the original Lion King is so much better mostly for reasons of how they choose to make the characters look visually | 3 |
The movie was okay to bad. The story that it wanted to present had something, but the way the film actually presented it made it seem less than okay. The characters were boring. It wasn't easy to get attached to them or like them for that matter. The performances, at least, were good. | 4 |
Worse movie ever😡. Lack of proper picturization...not a good movie👎 | 1 |

It is heartening to see women centric films back in Bollywood - Kahaani , English Vinglish with Queen adding extra charm to the genre.
Queen tells a self-realization story of a simple and conservative North Indian girl who goes for a honeymoon alone after she is vehemently rejected by her fiancé.
From the director of Chillar Party , Queen is a one step toward the quality cinema. Hats off to Vikas Bahl for creating niche drama with well-written screenplay that will keep glued on to the screen till the end. Cinematography is outstanding.Background score gels well with the mood of the film. Editing by Anurag Kashyap adds crispiness to the pace. I am a big fan of Amit Trivedi's music. The brilliant composer mixes the Punjabi folk song with urban touch and you will love every bit of it. QUEEN belongs to queen of hearts - Kangana Raunat. The supremely talented actress will prove the naysayers that she could do more better than drug addicted psychopath performances. She is mind blowing as charming and daring Rani who learns her capabilities through various experiences. Lisa Haydon will surprise you as free-spirited single mom Vijay Lakshmi. Rajukumar Rao does well in the supporting role
Queen has everything going in its favor - Brilliant direction, Strong performances, foot-tapping music. Highly recommended. Exceptoinal 4.75/5

I gave this show a solid try. First episode was so boring I kept falling asleep every time I'd put it on. On the 3rd attempt I finished the episode. The second episode was better then I almost bowed out when they were bordering on incest sex in a whorehouse. That story turned around and I thought it was sone for good.
Then, right when I finally am somewhat borderline into the show, they marry the princess to a black, gay, white haired dude. Next episode has a cast change. Time jump 10 years and they recast several of the female main cast but keep all the dudes. The first episode opens with a five minute birthing scene that was just boring, gross, annoying, all the things. Alicent I prefer the new actress but the other changes are terrible.
Officially done. Full incest sex scene halfway through an episode so dark you literally can not see anything on the screen.
I draw the line at incest sex scenes. I turned it off and never again. I only made it this far (1/2 way thru episode 7) because I hated GOT almost till the end of season 1 & after that loved it for the next few seasons. I almost stopped watching because of the incest on that show, not getting creeped out by that again. | 2 |
Great movie depicting Indian army might. The way of avenging was so incredible. Cast justified their roles. Good job Adithya and Vicky. The success of movie is a slap on sold media which rated movie with 2 stars and potraiting negative reviews. | 10 |
Great show.. it's exactly what I needed in this pandemic world, having exhausted all decent shows to watch lol.. Interesting and funny/light. Steve Martin definitely carries the show. Eager to see who did it and I hope the show comes back for more seasons. | 8 |
This is probably one of the most underrated tv shows ever made. Every season is good and there is not really a single bad episode. Very good show very underrated. Also the best Marvel show Imo. | 10 |
You can get away with murder when you slap an "Inspired by True Events" label on a movie. Sure, there was a runaway train once. Sure, people were in danger. Yup, corporations looking to cut labor costs will try to push out older, more expensive workers. You betcha, people break up.
So, when Tony Scott combines these disparate true events into a disaster movie, we get the disastrously bad Unstoppable. The whole thing is so slap-dash, so formulaic, so cynical that you might not even notice how ADHD the movie is.
We've gone far beyond the MTV editing of the 1980s; Unstoppable reaches a point of frenetic flash-cutting that literally impedes the narrative. I found myself mouthing "stop doing that" when Scott gets the average shot time down to a quarter of a nanosecond.
There are whole big swaths of story in Unstoppable that simply make no sense, primarily because it's just assumed that the average audience member has the attention span of a gnat.

Tom Hiddleston is great, as always, but THIS is not what I was expecting when I sat down to watch a show about Loki. I expected to finally get some backstory about his torture at the hands of Thanos, or his being manipulated, or some peak into his psychology that was well written. Instead, it's like a therapy session that's gone totally awry.
The show got so heavy handed with its messaging that I felt like, if they could, they would have hired a person to sit beside you and scream, "LOVE YOURSELF! THE SHOW IS ABOUT LOVING YOURSELF" while you watched this drivel.
"He Who Remains" actor Jonathan Majors was hard to watch, he was just way too much. But everything to do with the character Sylvie was just unbearable...the actress, her lines, the godawful romance they forced. Nothing about that was good or what I would call "Lady Loki."
I only gave this show this high of a review because Classic Loki was amazingly well done. Maybe season 2 will be better... | 5 |
Wow. What a mess. After first 15 min I gave up. I'm all for car chases. Give me Ronin any day. But seeing miraculous healing of the Alfa Giulia did it for me. Continuity mess like I've never seen it before. One shot full of bullet hole. Next shot like it drove off a showroom floor. Nothing good could possibly follow. | 1 |
Dust has settled or is beginning to settle now. Another film has gone by and like all the Shah Rukh Khan starrer it has received some of the most extreme responses from people. Some have called it THE BEST FILM ever some have called it BORING. So how different was FAN really from some of his other films? Well to answer it generally a lot different! Especially if you consider the time since Mr Khan went into the "commercial" zone of the film making. It is far different from the likes of HNY, CE, Dilwale of the worlds. Different yes but was it better? The answer is RESOUNDING YES which am sure even his most ardent critic will agree.
Shah Rukh Khan the actor has outdone himself in this film. His portrayal of Gaurav must have been very taxing at physical level and he has played it amazingly well. Gaurav and his image of standing outside Mannat in the end will haunt you for a long long time! A word for SRK's company Red Chillies Entertainment too who are taking technology to another level in their every outing as was promised by Khan during Ra.One. But I truly feel it was the role of Aryan Khanna that must have been truly difficult for SRK. The superstar has so many layers and shades to it that it is unreal to fathom it all in the first viewing! His use of age hiding technique in one of the scene before venturing out, his satire on himself for dancing in the wedding are just few of the layers! All in all it is truly a different and refreshing cinema! For a superstar who is struggling a bit at the BO according to his own standard this was a brave move. I cannot imagine any other superstar of this country even thinking of taking this project let alone taking it to the levels Mr Khan has taken. It is NOT for everyone especially those who look for logic in everything. Being a fan is not full of logic its a connection something which not everyone can fathom. So I don't blame those who couldn't relate to the film. And those who are worried about its BO stamina I would just like to say " Rehne De Tu nahi Samjhega..." | 10 |
Avatar: The Legend of Aang is the most enjoyable childhood cartoon, for me personally. He is one of the many Western cartoons that I have watched, if regarded as an anime genre, then he can be considered a favorite.
Personally, none of the characters irritated me, and this is a rarity for cartoons. On the contrary, the heroes were even inspired somewhere, each in his own way, but especially the earth magician Toph.
Of course, the series is perceived as a fantasy, the continuation of which you really want to find out sooner, but at the same time it teaches you good. How not to give up and not leave friends and people you love alone. How to achieve success in a business that initially seems to be a failure. After watching, I shared this cartoon with all my friends and we discussed it during lessons, there were good times.
So this series brought me closer to my friends and captured very pleasant and touching memories. If you want to spend time easily and abstractly, then I advise you to look, it's really worth it.
10 out of 10. | 10 |
Brilliant performance by SRK and Kajol and excellent director, pure music, full of emotions, perfect social message. | 10 |
It's the best movie and it's so amazing but not the best end | 6 |
Fargo, directed by Joel & Ethan Coen, offers a dark twist on humour for all viewers. The story follows Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy), a car salesman from Minnesota. Jerry hires two offbeat criminals to kidnap his wife in order to receive ransom money from his wealthy father in law. The trio plan on splitting the $1,000,000 they demand, and in return, Jerry's wife would be returned safely.
