This series is best described as a handful of comedic genius mixed in with a pile of misguided, moralistic garbage. 75% of the episodes are dedicated to Jeff Winger being taught a pointless lesson. If you've ever lost a court case due to a charismatic lawyer, you'll love every minute.
Great: -All of the Halloween and paintball episodes, as well as few other thematic ones (AC bandit, etc). -Troy and Abed in almost every episode. Their characters are creative, insightful, likable, and believe it or not, mostly focused on HUMOR and not politics. -Annie is also likable and funny in most episodes.
Terrible: -Britta. Unbearable, single-handedly ruined several episodes for me. Completely unlikeable and not funny, yet gets a ton of screen time. Garners an inexplicable amount of sympathy from the writers despite being an insufferable, self-righteous harpy. Can't stand her, brings nothing to the table. I'd give the series two more stars if she was abused more frequently or cut-out altogether. -Shirley. Just not funny most of the time. Character seems out of place. -Emasculated Jeff. He is supposed to be the "cool" guy, but after he cries, pees his pants, and apologizes for no reason on multiple occasions, the illusion is lifted and he is just pathetic. Not significant in small doses, but after watching all 5 seasons in a month the sheer time spent on just this gag overwhelmed me.
Pierce, Chang, and Dean Pelton are funny at first, but all of their bits just get recycled and more over the top as the series progresses, which I found tiresome.
I'd sum up the series as a missed opportunity. The show's premise and some of the characters carry a lot of potential, and when focused on lighthearted laughs it delivers in a big way. Unfortunately, that is only fraction of the time. The rest of the time the writers want to teach you a lesson. Three stars out of ten reflects the ratio of funny to unfunny episodes for me, and an extra star for the magnificent Troy and Abed. I recommend cherry-picking, unless you hate lawyers. | 4 |
This is the best out of all three Godfather movies. Political wars, mob wars, where the Corleone family started and great cinematography. Robert De Niro stars as Don Vito Corleone and makes a big impact in the film rising up through the ranks of the tough streets of America and raising his own family and mob. A political war which was evidently true to the Mafia and probley still is to pay for there way of life and to get the cops of there back. Al Pacino plays a great Mafiosi boss which you can imagine if you've ever seen Scarface. I feel he plays with more emotion in this than Scarface and maybe his best film. It is the best Mafia film of all time showing real strength in the gang and uncontrollable losses and downfalls. Altogether its a great watch and for any valid cinema lover its a must watch film. | 10 |
With its gangbusters intro, appropriately taking place in an LA traffic jam, La La Land looks like it is about to serve notice on the American film musical with an exuberant energy informing the audience it is in for a fun ride. The energy level however begins to waver when the dependence switches from music and dancing to melodrama and the film, divided into seasons (like LA has them) begins to stumble just before Autumn.
Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) and Mia (Emma Stone) first meet in less than amicable fashion on the everyday bumper to bumper existence of the LA freeway. Actress Mia works as a barista on a film lot and spends time off going to casting calls that end in disappointment. Sebastian is a quirky, purist, jazz pianist and his own worst enemy when it comes to being employed. The two cross paths again, hook-up and continue their artistic struggle for recognition. When success knocks on both doors it threatens the future of the relationship.
La La Land offers up a handful of well done musical numbers, imaginative dance scenes as well as a some early comic friction between the leads but the story line remains banal. Director Damien Chazelle attempts to circumvent this by adding some "what if" moments to the story to give it more life but it only packs on more minutes to this already overlong musical.
As bargain basement Fred and Ginger the duo offer less than fancy footwork along with pedestrian singing voices but that is part of their charm. Stone at least looks like she is enjoying herself while digging deep enough dramatically to hold some of the films more torpid dramatic scenes together. Gosling is simply a lightweight whose abrasive character offers little to like to begin with and his singing and dancing along with a series of faraway stares grows tiresome by the second half and what started out with the promising chops of another Cabaret eventually degenerates into the mawkish graceless excess of New York, New York. | 6 |
I just finished it, actually almost all of it because I skipped out on the last 10 minutes. Bad script, bad acting. Them dreams sure are city-folk-like! Meaning, this guy didn't have enough money to make a true dream world, so he made due with mob-type scenarios because boys playing around with guns in buildings isn't that expensive. Roll 'em around in a little anti-gravity, spend where you can. Just a pile of meaningless ugh, where people somehow don't get shot if they're the good guys and a nauseatingly emotional score tricks watchers into thinking they're watching something meaningful. | 3 |
I cannot tell you how disappointed I was with this film, being a fan of about everything Christopher Nolan does.
There were 2 ways the story of Dunkirk could be told:
1.An epic which showed broadly the scale of the operation, the death toll and the effect on the war.
2. Follow a group of characters and experience the story through their eyes as they go through it all.
It attempts the latter and falls short in a big way. Paper thin characters across the board left me completely disinterested in the story. Even Tom Hardy failed to evoke an emotion. What were his character traits? I couldn't name one except the obvious bravery.
The effects are seamless, I will give it that, but the quantities of everything are somewhat baffling. I think I saw less than 10 aircraft in the whole movie, yet dive bombing is largely the focus of the film. Did they run out of budget?
I think I watched a different film to the other reviewers. | 6 |
Some spectacular scenes but overall sloppy and at times annoying
during the Dunkirk battle , RAF LOST about 90 planes and the Germans almost 400. The movie showed only Tom Hardy (and briefly 2 of his mates) taking out 10 or so German planes
800 civilian boats helped evacuate Dunkirk . We saw at most 30
close on 400,000 soldiers were evacuated. Where were they in the movie ? All we had was a couple of hundred either lining up on the beach or ducking for cover from the occasional (previously mentioned 10) German planes
-other than opening scene , NO land battles. In reality , Dunkirk town was bombed by Germans with 1000 civilian casualties
ONE redeeming feature - no unnecessary romance !! | 6 |
It's ironic that many have hailed this movie as boring, a waste of time, and a shameless moneymaker, when I actually enjoyed it for two of those reasons. In the recently dramatic Hogwarts years, with beloved characters dropping like flies, isn't it nice to be able to catch your breath and watch two teenagers wander around in the forest without anything bad happening to them? And really, who cares that you spent an extra seven dollars at the movie theaters-which was the ticket price in 2010-since you got to see characters you grew up with in a world you immersed yourself in the past nine years up on the big screen? It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me, and since the movies preceding and following Part One are so heavy, a respite is welcome.
In this movie, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson decide to leave school and pursue the destruction of the great villain destroying all the good in the wizarding world. They're on the lookout for several magical objects that house part of Ralph Fiennes's power, but since the final book got split into two movies, it's a fair assumption that they don't accomplish their goal in this one. For most of the movie, the trio wanders around near the ocean, by the forest, and in their friends' houses. If that sounds incredibly boring, have no fear. Rupert becomes enormously moody and jealous, and he leaves their party of three. Dan and Emma continue to wander around by themselves, and as they're in very close quarters, they bond. Plenty of fans include their spontaneous dance as one of their favorite moments of the entire franchise. It's sweet, casual, and their chemistry lights up the screen like fireflies.
The movie isn't completely without drama, tears, or violence. After all, the teenagers are trying to save the wizarding world and take down an incredibly powerful and evil bad guy with no nose! I liked this one better than Part Two because many people make it out of this movie alive, and even though there are some sad bits, it's not overwhelmingly depressing. Also included in this one is a pretty cool animated sequence explaining the meaning of the title that feels simultaneously realistic and stylized. | 7 |
Unpopular opinion:
This show Turned into a senseless, inconsistent, lazy written, plot holed soap opera... | 4 |
Entire shooting was done in kolkata but u displayed that it was dhaka! Police and army were saving a drug lord thats quite stupid. dissapointed | 6 |
The special effects in this movie are good, and this film is sort of enjoyable. Generally it is enjoyable but not so much. The storyline of it is okay but it is often boring at certain points and it has a storyline which is too hard to follow. This film is a bit too long considering that it isn't all enjoyable anyway. I don't hate this movie but it seemed like it might be as good as Titanic, which I have given 9 out of 10 and was made by the same director as Titanic. But it isn't as good as Titanic though. Also this film is slightly unnerving to watch because of the way in which it is weird. I am giving this film 4 out of 10. | 4 |
I had high expections because of the high rating, but it was quite boring. | 3 |
I have to say Netflix surely knows what witcher fans love to see. The art style, the music, every detail is perfect harmony to the witcher game. And Henry Cavill makes a perfect Geralt. However, everything about Yen, Netflix did it all wrong. Total failure of casting, plots out of nowhere, everytime Yen comes out makes me want to skip. That 1/3 show of Yennefer is nothing more than a disaster. So, 2/3 of a good show, 2/3 of the rating. | 7 |
The production value has improved since the last movie well of course these garbage made so much money from the fans. Fight choreography has also improved but apart from those two nothing changes, same boring old story about a group of people trying to take over the world and a bunch of heroes who rise to the occasion. | 4 |
I was expecting a little more given the hype and was a little disappointed by a few aspects of the film. Firstly I'll say that Margot as Barbie and Ryan as Ken were great individually. A large part of why this movie was good enough is because of what they brought to the characters and the story on screen. I found watching Ken discovering "patriarchy" to be hilarious. However, one of the first critiques I have is that it felt like the movie didn't spend enough time in Barbieland. The serious shift felt a little too sudden when it could have benefitted from fleshing out the "perfect" life and the character dynamics of the barbies and Kens with more substance. Because I felt that was missing, the emotions Barbie was experiencing in the real world fell flat to me, which brings me to my second point.
The movie's use of heavily weighted political words by the barbies and kens water down the overall message this film is trying to convey. I think being a woman in the real world is a lot more complicated than going on a beach and getting harassed. Or seeing a bunch of men working and socialising in corporate. I understand the way the movie addresses this is meant to be with a comical and somewhat obvious tone, and it was. However, it could have benefitted from also adding a bit more of a layered experience to these issues which would consequently add more dimensions to when these politically weighted words were used. It just felt, in my personal opinion, to be thrown around for the convenience of making a point amongst all the silliness but with no real material message.
It was an enjoyable film in its own merits. However, I was disappointed in the development of the storyline and the characters so I give Barbie a 7/10. I think Greta is talented and I preferred her previous work like Lady Bird. This was a little too mainstream without much substance, thus, Barbie's empowering message fell flat to me. | 7 |
Rated PG-13 for stylized action violence.
Now I have not seen Spiderman 3 yet but I really want to.Spiderman is my favorite superhero.He is so cool and his movies are great as well.The first Spiderman film was pretty good but it could have been better.This film however is much better than the first and also one of the greatest superhero movies of all time.The action scenes are amazing because of the use of CGI and the storyline is great as well.The film is about Peter Parker, a nerd who has an alter ego as a superhero.He must fight Doc-Ock, a professor who turned evil after his mechanical arms took over while trying to save his relationship with Mary Jane, the woman he loves.Spiderman 2 is a great superhero movie and If you haven't seen it yet, you should. | 9 |
Milkha simgh ji will always remembered forever. Brilliant movie in every respect. | 10 |
I was hooked with the the first show. But, as I moved further into the season, it stared to become less compelling and more disappointing. Cast, Costumes, Locations, sets, etc. are all awesome. But, storytelling, dialogues and transitions could have been better. Yes, many might want to compare it to GoT, but, apart from its medieval and fantastical nature, there is nothing to compare about. And things that could be compared are almost already at par with GoT, so that's not the issue at all. I can actually say this though that what GoT has done with its Season 8 as compared to the whole series, is what the creators of The Witcher have ended up doing to its Season 1. The Season 1 has definitely took a downhill path from episode 1 to episode 8, IMO. | 7 |
I can't wait for the next season! I've fallen n love with the cast! Good writers & actors. Creative, nice stunts, imaginative twists. Yep, all thumbs up! | 10 |
"The Amazing Spider-Man attempted a reboot, but instead of introducing innovative ideas, it leaned towards a more mainstream approach. The decision to have Spider-Man create his own web fluid, departing from the original concept, feels unnecessary and somewhat unfair to the character's classic appeal."
The film takes a new approach to the main character, but the execution leaves something to be desired. The new actor's portrayal comes off as somewhat annoying, lacking the charismatic charm we've come to associate with Spider-Man. The attempt to refresh the character falls short, making it challenging to fully connect with this new rendition." | 3 |
Truth be told, this is not a bad film by a long way. Yet I can't for the life of me understand why, as the time of writing this, Forrest Gump is the 13th best film on IMDb?
The only asset I can see this film having is the advanced effect (For its time that is). As to the acting I agree that Tom Hanks acts the part well, however being realistic, an authentic autistic person would have played the part just as well, if not better.
This may possibly be the most overrated film of all time, and a 7.5/10 would be far more adequate.

Boring and predictable. Nothing we haven't seen before... | 5 |
My mind was distributed but this movie made me happy . Beautiful,super and fantastic movie . I loved it. | 10 |
I really wanted to like this movie, and I kept trying, but it just kept fighting me.
Overall, it didn't touch me as I thought it would. Something was just missing.
But what really bothered me was that what I thought was supposed to be a touching, special movie, kept flipping into a silly comedy with fart jokes. There's nothing wrong with combining drama and comedy - as life is comprised of both, but this film didn't segue naturally into the comedy at all. There was this constant shifting of genre that just threw me every time and ultimately destroyed the film for me. | 3 |
Even as a Scorsese fan, this film disappointed. As much as I wanted to love this film, I was simply disappointed by the end result.
First, the good. The source material this film uses tells the real-life mystery surrounding the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. It shares the unlikely, yet true, story of Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran and his involvement in the Philadelphia mafia. This epic of a movie covers ~30-50 years and a large cast of interesting characters. All could have movies made about their own lives that would be as interesting.
The cinematography and choice of music is AAA+. I'd like to give Rodrigo Prieto special attention to the work that he did in this film. The plot is compelling and worthwhile.
But the flaws quickly come up. I found Scorsese's choice of actors unfitting for the story told. Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci are all well distinguished actors in their own regards. Yet, their age and cliched acting overpowered the positives that they offered. There was no single point in the film that I was convinced of Robert De Niro or Al Pacino were men in their 30s/40s. No amount of CGI de-aging could hide that fact.
Seeing men in their 70s acts in a 3 hour film can make this a snoozefest for some of its viewers. That can be seen in the Netflix numbers showing the small number of viewers that actually make it to the end.
As many critics pointed out, I felt as if the long and winding story could have been told in a more concise manner. Action and scenes of significance happen far and few. Time is taken to build the world that Frank Sheeran existed in rather than moving the story. But some people will see that more as a pro than a con.
As mentioned earlier, I wanted to love this film. Yet, it fails to have the same cinematic magic that Scorsese has shown in his other work. The film disappears in the viewers mind as soon as they finish it, if not sooner. The film leaves no lasting impact on its viewers and will be overshadowed by Scorsese's earlier work.
2/10. One star for plot, one for cinematography. It really took Scorsese 10+ years to make this film? | 2 |
It did have a slow start but then it got better and better with each episode. The Tick is not for all, but if you love it, you will love it indefinitely. The characters are great, I really like The Terror, this has become one of my most rememberable villains. At other times the show was extremely funny. After watching the show you just want to watch it again. It just sticks on you. Not to forget, The Tick has some of the best lines, he's one of the most original superheroes out there. Sadly they did not renew the show, even when the end of season 2 had so many content set up for a sequel. It just got really good and then they drop the show. Still worth watching but you will left disappointed when it ends. | 8 |
Truly an inspiring series of the most honorable and valiant superhero ever created! Btw why does Daredevil's story always end with Bullseye at the hospital?? | 9 |
This movie is just a bad parody, the only things I like about it are the jewish girl and her clothes. | 1 |
If you're into the the impossible & absurd this is for you. If you prefer your entertainment more grounded in reality I'd skip it. Kept my attention, but had to laugh at some of the twisty BS. | 5 |
Cooper's painfully earnest depiction of a (very unlikeable and greasy-haired) addict is far too heavy for this frothy material. As one reviewer said, more 'A Star Goes Out' than 'A Star Is Born'. At least the self-indulgent focus on him spares us much of Gaga's precariously near-wooden acting. If Cooper was insistent on giving it the heavy-handed treatment he should have had the character's addiction stem from the pressures of fame and not from his family background. The resulting premise makes the music industry setting redundant. Subsequently, there is no palpable reason for tension between the leads, which makes for a very lacklustre experience. This might have been saved by a crackle of sexual chemistry but there is none. Cooper looks good without his shirt on but so what? Nobody wants to stare at those two weird faces for two and half hours. Some of the gruff-voiced dialogue is embarrassing (Sam Elliott, anyone?). Following in the unfortunate footsteps of 'Mother!' and 'Hereditary', it's unintentionally funny in parts and boring in others. The songs aren't bad but they're not in the same league as those from the 1976 version. Gaga's performance on the stage is, of course, good but not that good. She screeches out the songs from the beginning and consequently has nowhere to go for the denouement. Let's face it, she has about a quarter of Streisand's talent and none of the charisma. I can see the effort, but mediocre results. Next! | 3 |
Paedophilic tendencies abound with 13 year old children having emotional breakdowns because they can't see their girlfriend, Duffer Brothers making all the kids kiss at the ball, their obsession with children being in relationships is slightly disturbing and gross. The writing is below average. Why did they hire an anorexic-looking actress for the MOST BORING AND PATHETIC CHARACTER EVER - NANCY. Natalia Dyer is a terrible actress. Most of the kids are terrible actors. David Harbour and Winona Ryder are the only interesting actors. Anyway, all I've learned from watching this entire series is that the Duffer Brothers really like childhood love stories. | 5 |
This is in my opinion the best of the 3 released marvel series so far, maybe due to its significance within the universe and the storyline to follow - Wandavision is probably on a par in terms of series quality but this just has more significance. Of course there are a few things that any viewer could desire to be different or 'better' which is why it's tough to rate anything a 10 - but this is very close to perfect. Great acting. Great storyline. Here's to the multiverse. | 8 |
Sam Mendes' war drama is set during World War I and very personal to him, as it tells a story his grandfather used to tell him when he was still a young lad. Dedicated to Mendes' hero, this drama cuts deep when we join two young soldiers on a mission to deliver a message that could possibly save thousands of fellow combatants.
Filmed and edited as if it was one long take, the camera never leaves our main protagonists, Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Schofield (George MacKay), out of its sight. Mendes (Skyfall) and co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns (Penny Dreadful) therefore corner themselves by relying on this kind of linear storytelling, to tell a very focused but at times a somewhat thin tale. Some of the scenes are so empty, it will for sure test audiences' patience. Technical, '1917' is a true feast for the eyes and ears.
Roger Deakins' (Blade Runner 2049) cinematography is once again breathtakingly superior to anything else you've seen this year, and for sure will be the one thing people unanimously praise. Sound editing/mixing, visual effects and production design are all outstanding. These are the things, people will remember. It is Thomas Newman's (Passengers) score that elevates every moment happening in front of you, intensifying the emotions brought by our main characters. And although MacKay (Captain Fantastic) and Chapman (Game of Thrones) do a pretty phenomenal job at capturing the true essence of their characters going through a literal hell, it's the side characters with little-to-no screen time who steal their spotlight. Andrew Scott (Fleabag), Mark Strong (Shazam!), Richard Madden (Rocketman) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Strange) are checkpoints along the way, but man, do they impress with the few lines they're given.
1917 is without a doubt a technical masterpiece, that will inspire many filmmakers, but I can't feel a bit let down. As an overall film, it wants to play a heavy tune on your heartstrings, but can't reach that level of sentiment, because the focus on technicalities pulled me out of the story. It for sure is one of the better films 2019 has brought to the big screen, yet a bit more focus on the script could've made this the cinematic masterpiece of the decade. Nonetheless, I recommend watching this on the biggest screen possible and enjoy another fine piece of cinema brought to you by Sam Mendes. | 8 |
I have to admit my expectations were not high but the really fell below the bar. No chemistry with the cast,everyone trying to hard, it's painful to watch. Dialogue bad, jokes not funny,so many terrible bits of bad guy dialogue it begins to sound repetitive blah blah blah let's get him.Sadly 2 good likable actresses are wasted in this production,Rosario Dawson is cringe worthy repeating her lines,Deborah Ann Wohl of True Blood feels unnatural in her role like they forced me to hang out with this guy and laugh make funnies. Worst of all the lead is ineffectual,you feel nothing for his monotone delivered lines,poorly executed unexciting fight scenes. Netflix may have come in hot but Daredevil lands cold,no sizzle you just don't care about anyone,no atmosphere, poor sound design,awful crummy cinematography, equally bad visuals.See the Ben Affleck Extended Cut by Steve Johnson it's far superior, That's All. | 5 |
Loved it. Fun way to spend an evening in the summer. | 7 |
The story of this movie to digester.and the other boring part of this movie flim location. Mots of the times even i seen is not Dhaka,bangladesh it's mumbi India. And other part of this movie actor who spoken bangla not properly. | 6 |
This movie is over kill and should've stayed OUT of the theater. Tom Cruise always save the day blah, blah, blah same old, same old tactics. The movie was very very very cliche. Stay home save your time and see it when it comes to a premier channel for free. | 2 |
If you can lower your expectations, Talk to Me is an incredibly well done low budget scary movie.
There are some scenes that are genuinely upsetting and will stick in your mind.
However, the praise that it has received has been too much. But this isn't the fault of the movie makers.
Overall it is a well made movie.
The acting is, for the most part, good but the father is pretty wooden.
The sound design really adds to the uncomfortable feel of particular scenes.
The effects and make up are suitably creepy.
However, there are some disappointments. The ending isn't as strong as the rest of the movie.
So I think Talk to Me is overrated, but still worth watching. | 7 |
Is this a 1 star anime? No. But it's certainly not a 9.6 (the rating at the time of this review).
Obviously people watch shows for different reasons, but for me it's always about the story. I would never have watched this, but for the extremely high rating, and so I feel deceived by the content.
Good things about this show: good fight scenes, good animation, funny.
Bad things about this show: almost no character development, no story beyond Saitama looking for a worthy enemy, it feels like one filler episode after another.
Conclusion, if story is even relatively important to you stay clear. If all you want are some laughs and fight scenes this is for you. | 1 |
Highly derivative. In other words, M. Night Shyamalan and John Krasinski should sue for plagiarism. It's a mashup of "The Happening" and "A Quiet Place".
A high profile cast wasted on a so-so story and a script full of holes. It wasn't all that suspenseful and you can see the major plot turns coming from a mile away.
If you've got nothing better to do, go ahead and watch it. Just don't expect a lot. | 5 |
Somehow while watching the trailer to this movie I got the feeling that something was amiss, that Interstellar might not be able to live up to Nolan's previous works/the hype. But then again, I didn't think The Prestige would be as good as it was, and well that according to me might be the best Nolan film of them all!
Anyways, once I got to the theater and saw the plot unfold, I agree that like all his movies the premise of the film is top notch. Concepts like space travel and the supernatural are always going to enthuse moviegoers, so no problem there. My only issue with the move was that Nolan's reasoning and perspective to explain some of these things wears really really thin. I definitely wasn't convinced on how how Nolan decided to tie things together at the end, and most of the people watching the movie with me agreed. The other aspects of the movie are great - the acting, the score, the visuals, etc. Go into the movie with low expectations and you just might not be underwhelmed! | 6 |
Okay firstly Carnage looked amazing as did venom. Tom Hardy looked Stone faced unenthusiastic and warn out and the others might as well have pulled out. Slapstick, unfunny, clumsy and lacked story. | 4 |
It's so bad. The script, the acting, everything. Diana is supposed to be this gifted, super powerful, empowered witch who did something no other creature could do, and suddenly becomes a person of interest to the entire supernatural community. The show keeps trying to convince the viewer that Diana is "courageous", "powerful", "brilliant", "clever", "funny" etc. What she actually comes across as, is recklessly stupid and very, very annoying. The acting is so very bad. The actress playing Diana says "she tried to rip me apart" in the same tone she would say "she served me soup" and spends most of her time open-mouthed with a really stupid expression on her face. I still don't understand how Matthew and Diana fell in love, specially since they have almost zero chemistry. Their love translates to Matthew's "protective instincts" going into overdrive and Diana telling everyone she doesn't need protection anymore because "I have him (Matthew)". I could write an essay all that's wrong with this series.
I quit at episode 6. | 1 |
I couldn't watch it. Only watched the first half of season 1 years ago but it's still stuck with me. The suicide scene. There had been an increase in cases of teenage suicide when the first season came out.
I think it's horrible to portray suicide like this. It's not like this in real life. You just don't kill yourself in hope of hurting others around you. And it's wrong to think that your death will haunt others and because of letters and video tapes you will ruin the lifes of those who hurt you.
It's honestly so wrong to show the proper ways of killing yourself because it gives ideas to those with the same intention. The best way to talk and show suicide is showing a wrong way or not showing the actual scene. In Breaking Bad the method that they use for cooking drugs is not the best method in real life because they didn't want the viewers to try and succeed at home. I think 13 reasons why teams was right to take out the suicide scene but they shouldn't make it in the first place. Because the way of the cutting was an actual working method to prevent doctors to stop the bleeding. And i hate it. This show was marketed towards teenagers so it shouldn't contain such graphic and accurate scenes. | 1 |
It's a shame to choose a famous actress who can no longer express emotions through her face (except by playing with her eyes).
This prevents us from empathizing with his distress.
This seems to me the basis of a dramatic film. The young actress plays her role well.
The photography is beautiful as are the lights.
I repeat, there are too many inconsistencies in the role of the mother, it would have been necessary to show the emotion (through the image) that this mother is going through, here there is only the movement.
Too bad.
The director of this film is very good. In terms of editing, for the first two parts, the setting up of the situation is a little too long. | 4 |
Not sure why everyone got on board with this show and thought it would be 'the next Game of Thrones' or similar. It is no better than most most video game adaptations, such as 'Tomb Raider,' which play out to be B-movie quality action flicks at best. While an acclaimed video game, all the flaws in the video game 'story' and world-building are sticks in the mud and obvious issues here when in TV show form. I never could get into the story in the game (i thought it was a weak point) whether it was the monotonous gobbly dialogue typical of high fantasy RPGs or the card-board cut out characters. Yet if you ask anyone the overall internet opinion on the Witcher is that is perfect in every way, and you will be attacked for criticizing it. Well, even if the game was 'perfect', that's not the case with this show.
While I haven't read the books, all the issues from the game transfer to the show in its world building and story, which dissuade me from reading them. I don't know whether the fault is with the adaptation or original material, but the story simply fails to captivate and provide a meaningful overarching story. Neither are the characters interesting(the idea that the main character doesn't show any human emotion is a good idea for a video game, but not a book OR show.)
Between the cheesy opening scene, which made me think of a low-budget show on the Sci-Fi Channel, to the cheesy, video game-esque dialogue, to the main character who is unrelatable and uninteresting, and most of all, the story and background which is hard to make sense of and therefore is boring, all the issues I saw with the Witcher from the game rear its head in this show. I thought perhaps it would be better because its supposed to be based on the books, but either they didn't do it justice or the original story is is a big high fantasy convulated nerd fest that doesn't transfer to a show form well. The reason LOTR and other fantasy works so well is that there is a captivating main story and main characters who you care about. The Witcher simply comes off as a generic, low budget fantasy show that begs you to care about whats happening but you simply don't. | 4 |
I guess it is called a "dramatization" of the true events for a reason, a bit of a stretch in all its depictions and i really do think that this show is overrated, hence my 1 star. I think it's worth around 3 stars but its ratings are ridiculously high. Yes those people were heroes but this show is a separate matter. | 1 |
What a direction. What a story.
No words to say. Its a must watch for everyone. If you are a dog lover, take your handkerchief because you're gonna need it throughout the movie.
The movie also gives a good message for everyone. | 10 |
Based on true events of Uri attack this movie is bang on target and high on Josh. Vicky Kaushal scores yet again with superb portrayal of Army man. Cinematography is on some other level in this movie. Rest of the cast does superb job too specially Mohit Raina. Music score is weak but it doesn't affect movie narration so can be ignored. Overall superb movie, MUST WATCH !!! | 9 |
I usually fix some movies to watch in weekend and definitely thought it would be great picture, give good experience. Secret Superstar is really a great, beautiful, amazing script. Story is simple a teenager how she became superstar in very tough condition from her life. No support no encouragement nobody can move forward, Leading role character she has done fantastic job. Mother and Daughter love and Mother sacrifice everything for their children and gives lot of happiness with small helps. In Indian movies we can see that type of emotions. A Middle class people thinking about dreams and achieve that is so difficulty.
Actress Zaira Wasim perfect fit to this role and as school teenager she performed very well acting and its called mature acting. In India we always think Hollywood has great stories,scripts,creative movies and we wait for those type of movies some even dub into local languages. Now Indian movies are going to more creative, 21st century a big battle of world cinema. Bollywood is big competitor to Hollywood, India has so many creative, advance script, emotional, heartfelt movies are making in different languages.
this movie dedicate to every mother of India. Secret Superstar is simply explained, In current situation what we have technology is so helpful, the way of using it make wonders. A school girl become superstar is not so much easy. She has many barriers and would face clear them all is not such easy task.
Direction, Story, Music Director, Actors are really a group of people best output everything. Aamir Khan is really proud of Indian cinema he choose stories very perfect guess to create wonders in Indian cinema. He was called by Perfectionist, Ace of Bollywood, Bollywood never forget his name, he is basic foundation of innovative movies as an actor and producer he made memorable movies. So many trends has been set in last two decades of bollywood industry, His mark is ever memorable. | 10 |
No story, no dialogues, nothing makes sense... even after 50minutes you have actually no clue wtf is even happening... Avoid this crap. | 2 |
Average film overall,but if you are bored and want to pass your time.This film might do the trick for you. The story is something you find in a killer mystery book. | 5 |
Red Sparrow is the quintessential spy thriller movie. Love every bit of that movie. Jennifer should get an oscar nod for this performance. Francis did a fantastic job too.... | 10 |
After the - at times - 'bumpy' first season that had problems with it's internal structure (four different timelines, at times centuries apart, that run parallel) I was relatively hopeful that Season Two would be a great follow-up:
The show was a financial success, popular with audiences and thus secured a big budget
The showrunners pledged to stay closer to the fantastic books that they are adapting
After S2E1 I found myself vindicated. The Episode stayed very close to one of the best short stories from the novels, the CGI was fantastic and produced exactly the quality that I had dared to hope for.
...
And then it all went downhill. At this point, it is hard to even call this an adaptation anymore. It is, at best, inspired by the universe of the Witcher. At times it feels like some high-production value fan fiction. Cheesy, childish dialogue, unnecessary sex scenes for that desperate 'Game-of-Thrones-Factor', a main plot that is ... well, to put it politely, confused & incoherent and several completely uninteresting secondary storylines that have little to no bearing at all on the main story and feel like nothing but fillers.
The characters are nothing but shells of their former selves, at times bearing little more than a name in common. The wise & grandfatherly Vesemir, for example, a man of deep convictions and warm affections ... turns into a creepy middle aged man who has 0 chemistry or connection to any of the Witchers nor Ciri and the morale compass of a mad scientist.
The Witchers - superhuman killing machines, magically created mutants - are reduced to disposable henchmen for soulless CGI monsters.
And while the CGI is at least done well, the editing is horrendous and destroys all sense of immersion. Characters teleport over vast distances for plot conveniences - not that it would make much of a difference on the flavourless & utterly interchangeable sets - and arrive always exactly in the right second to safe the day.
The show even goes so far as to include an obvious author self-insert having a childish tamper tantrum over the critic of the first season, breaking the fourth wall to effectively show the audience the middlefinger.
It would have been okay to change the source material. I want to stress out that my main complaint here is NOT a deviation from the books, but a lack of quality.
The writing is horrendous, dialogues copy the worst of late-season Game of Thrones (going so far as to have entire scenes devoted to potty-humour) and the characters are flipped upside down from Season One. The woman desperately wanting motherhood more than anything else? Willing to sacrifice children for personal gain. The cruel warlord burning people alive to use them as weapons? Suddenly BFF with the downtrodden.
At this point the show has become unsalvagable. Internal logic is thrown out the window for mere visual spectacle, in-universe rules are set up and then almost immediately discarded.
Even the figh-choreographies - one of the biggest strengths of Season 1 - are now lacking quality, exchanging believable physical effects for cheesy Michael-Bay-esque CGI.
This show had to potential to be the next Game of Thrones. It has, instead, turned into another crude and generic action show.
If you are after mass-produced popcorn-entertainment where you get some action scenes every half hour this is for you. Otherwise, I'd probably stay off of this and find a better medium to immerse yourself into the fantastic world of Geralt the Witcher. | 2 |
These government backed filmmakers think they can fool the Indian audience at ease. Yes they are able to do that quite often because Indians often believe what they see and what they are told. They believe what the propaganda suggests. The movie is a boring cliche full of done to death sequences which we have seen before in so many war movies in the past. Not sure who are these who are calling it a masterpiece, have they not seen any good war movies lately? Vicky Kaushal was okay but rest of the actors were pathetic.. This false jingoism doesn't impress one bit. Showing patriotism and love for the nation is fine, but when you force jingoism on the audience in order to earn money at the box office you are not doing anything different. The movie is a total disappointment. 1 out of 10. Only those will like the movie who have not watched any good Hollywood realistic war movies. | 1 |
This movie really does not have the most original idea hell its probably one of the most overdone ideas in movie history but I think this one is by far the best. It has a lot of clever funny moments in it while I wish it would have stuck with more of those and left out some of the gross out funny it was still a good watch.
This movie is about two best friends who grew up all their lives the same and now adults one is a lazy wanna be actor who sits at home all day and gets stoned while the other is a very successful lawyer with a huge house and a wife and kids. One day when peeing in a water fountain they wish for each others lives and when they wake up the next day they realize it has happened.
This movie was good but its definitely not for everyone. Like I said it is funny but a lot of the humor comes from gross out humor which I really was not a big fan of but I still like this movie. | 7 |
Really amazing anime, it will keep you hooked from beginning to end. A must watch for anyone. I've seen it 2 more times after the first time I saw it and it never ceases to amaze me. | 9 |
Karthis Raw Performance , the amazing Story , impeccable naration and most importantly the emotinal connect makes this movie Hollywood Worth.
A perfect 10/10. | 10 |
The show is very good, but the interplay of Hansel and Cha Cha in my opinion takes the cake. Reminds me of Irving in Mr. Robot. I can't put my finger on it, perhaps it is the routine of their jobs, the complaints about their accommodations, the interplay of partners working together for a long time.
Very good show | 9 |
I understood it from the very beginning and didn't need to watch it again. A unique story indeed but quite boring with trying to over smart the audience or in other words confuse them. Any smart movie should keep you attached and impress you with new flicks but that is not the case here. I wasn't attached to the story and it was boring with editing confusion nothing else. Disappointed. 2/10 for Kate's acting only and the whole idea of the story only. | 2 |
After reading several reviews and hearing from some friends that the movie had some potential winning Oscar's performances I went to watch it and it was really disappointing. The songs are good, Lady Gaga is a good singer but that is everything. If you want to save time and money, I recommend you to listen to the mudic on YouTube. | 3 |
I enjoy the characters but the plot holes drive me crazy.
Takemitchi is a boy who can travel through time, and what does he want to do? Save some girl he was in love with when he was 14. Ok, fine. It ends up being pretty cute, but my problem is...how is he so bad at saving her? He can TRAVEL THROUGH TIME. He knows the exact minute she is going to die. Originally she was going to die in a car crash, so he tells Naoto to save her...and he fails? How? You know she is going to die in a car crash how the hell did he let her get in a car?
The only way this story makes sense is if Naoto is secretly a villain who wants his sister to die...don't love that ending but at least the story isn't littered with plot holes.
The only other way we can say this story doesn't have excessive plot holes is if we later find out Takemitchi is brain dead. Takemitchi gets a lot of hate for crying so much; I hate him for having a superpower and utilizing it in the worst possible way. | 3 |
This one comes from the director of the classic 'A Wednesday', so the expectations were high and the question arises is does it stand up??
It does and does so well that you may well end up watching the end credits .
The movie starts with a sequence of fake CBI Interview wherein the intensity of both Anupam Kher and Akshay Kumar builds the movie further with fake CBI Issues piling one on another.
The high point of this dramatic satire is that there are no dull moments.Even the scenes between Akshay and Kaajal are ain't boring.
Since the movie stars well acclaimed actors there was seldom chance of bad performance. Manoj Bajpai , Anupam Kher , Akshay Kumar top notch. Great Supporting cast from Jimmy Shergil and Divya Dutta.
All in all its a movie recommended to the class of different genre movie lovers.Great to see AK in a different role after long time.
Rating:Unimportant | 10 |
All of these real life remakes are unnecessary, but easy cash grabs for Disney. Too bad they dropped the ball on their best film. Zero facial emotions from the animals. Very boring and unoriginal, even though it was a remake. | 3 |
This movie is by no means better then saving private Ryan it is slow there are 2 action scenes and and there are less then 20 shots fired from the 2 men who are delivering a message most of it is walking with heavy breathing there are a few points that did get me a little bit interested but for me I was hoping for more this is not for everyone and and I will not be watching this again | 5 |
Just an excuse to make action sequences. They aren't that bad but nothing special either. What a waste. | 4 |
Emotional! This is one of my absolut favorit series. 61 episodes and not a single one is boring. Every character has that special touch. 11 of 10 stars!! Please give me a season 4!!! | 10 |
"Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?"
After the rather dull "Thor: The Dark World" I thought we'd be in for more of the same with Captain America "The Winter Soldier". I have never been more mistaken. Man, it's so great that we get to see a national treasure on the run from his own corrupt government. This particular thread throughout the entire film gives it a distinct ability to explore its own subtext. It does this in a way that no Marvel Cinematic Universe films have done to date. Everything is palpable for the most part and done with a sense of never ending rhythmic urgency similar to last summer's excellent "Star Trek Into Darkness". The Russo brothers best known for their work on shows like "Community" and "Arrested Development" are clearly fans of the Bourne franchise from which much is lifted and transfixed as a suitable narrative framework. Yet they somehow manage to disseminate their own particular voice over proceedings. They do this in spite of overwhelming producer pressures at the same time. This film is as riveting and enthralling an action thriller as you're likely to see all year.

Not the worst film I've ever seen, but certainly the one that fell lowest below my hopes and expectations. In moments, there are some decent scenes (e.g. just about getting safely behind French lines in one piece), but in the main, it's tedious, lethargic and lacking in punch, whether visually, or plotwise. Mark Rylance's character is likeably stoic, Branagh is OK, but there's just too little sense of urgency, scale, peril or intensity. A few hundred studenty looking types standing in line wistfully waiting for something to happen was the main image I took from this film. If I was the movie company boss, I'd have said "I'm not releasing this tepid bag of crap. Do it again, or flush it." It just doesn't work, and unlike the historical event itself, this faux epic failure will not be well remembered. Or indeed remembered at all. | 3 |
It start well enough with Daniel Day-Lewis' character Daniel Plainview staking early claims to oil rights in undeveloped places, whilst extolling family values to the locals, in a curious Cornish accent.
Unravelled , I think is the best way to describe the development of the character through the movie.
At the end of the movie I felt strangely cheated, not only is plausibility stretched to breaking point, but we never see any consequences for the character's many misdeeds.
I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say that the movie charts the rise and fall of the character in perhaps a similar way to Anderson's Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights. The way up, addictions, hangers on, the way down. Crash.
A very very long vehicle for an incomplete story. | 3 |
Its got lost of action and original story, its unlike spoon fed marvel films and has a plot and true reviews are positive. I have been unimpressed with most marvel projects of late as over used special effects and had poor stories. This could be a turning point as if you read rtn tomato reviews you can see how well this has done. | 8 |
In the second last episode Jamie says to Lily that 'Devs is a wet dream for tech geeks'. I think that summarizes the show. The show smart and well made. I think it is grippng , though I would not recommend it to anyone. | 6 |
I wanted to watch the "Dunkirk" at a cinema, but somehow I couldn't get around to go. So when it appeared in streaming services, I was glad, that I'd see this hyped masterpiece at last. And now I'm grateful, that I haven't watched it in the cinema - I'd lost money and at least one hour, which was redundant in this film. Moreover, I'm wasting another hour to describe this fresh disappointment...
I think, that the director tried to create an "artsy" movie, but this is not the genre. Not every film with long scenes without much action nor dialogue, is by definition "artistic". It is risky to match an artistic movie and war movie - and in my opinion, the director didn't make it. For most of the time it was simply boring. Luckily, I had fast forward button... And for such budget, the film was quite austere. Many reviewers pointed out, that all we have seen were some five aircraft, a dozen of boats and several trucks, plus two warships.
What is worse, boring long takes are interspersed with unrealistic, simplified or just absurd scenes. Probably the author of the script tried to show the horror of war, but it does not start good, when the soldiers walk through a calm and deserted city, and suddenly there come shots out of nowhere. Have the Germans just enter Dunkirk?... If so, then there is only one French barricade, restraining them from the beach... Other reviewers or goof-pickers rightfully criticized scenes on a boat riddled by gunshots, or long gliding flight of an aircraft without working engine. It might be only added, that when it comes to air battles, the Spitfire pilot just follows the enemy fighter and shoots, while the victim flies in generally straight line, not trying to break a contact or attack... I understand, that the director did not want to use a CGI, but far more realistic battles were shot in the "Battle of Britain" in1969, which is, needless to say, also more entertaining movie to watch, with a proper pace. And if the enemy bomber is shot down, it obviously fells into a relatively small spillage of oil and sets it on fire, to add dramatic effect to a nearby boat. ...And what we see aboard the boat is not a particularly realistic acting either.
By accident, a few weeks ago I've watched "Their Finest", also a new film on a similar subject. In spite of being a lighter movie, described as a comedy-drama-romance, I found it more telling about the human nature, than the "Dunkirk", and more dramatic as well. And the script of a fictional movie about Dunkirk evacuation, that is being written by main characters in "Their Finest", seems to be no more silly and unrealistic, than of the "Dunkirk". Only the budget of that fictional movie is a fraction of the "Dunkirk", and it has to be shot in difficult wartime conditions. All in all, my thought was, that the fictional movie about creating a film about Dunkirk, was better and more worth to watch, than a blockbuster about Dunkirk... | 5 |
Truley I didn't get the movie this time. Then to be cleared I read some reviews. Oh yea, then I get it is a masterpiece with a great message. It is uncleared in my first sight. The starting half an hour was interesting. But then the scenes started becoming svattered & I lost the enjoyment. I'm giving it 6 & added it to rewatchlist for future jugement. Again I want say that the message was really great. But maybe tough to catch it in very 1st watch | 5 |
If only Southpaw was half the film that Jake Gyllenhaal's performance was, then what a mighty drama it would've been.
Coming off the back of a career best stretch of work that goes right back to the excellent Prisoners and culminated at its peak with the fantastically eerie and memorable Nightcrawler, Gyllenhaal has been on some type of roll in recent years and where his role as night-time photographer Louis Bloom saw him look gaunt, thin and generally unwell, Southpaw sees the committed actor ripped and looking the part as hardened New York boxer Billy Hope whose lost his beloved wife Maureen (played by the sadly underutilised Rachel McAdams) and finds himself spiralling out of control after years of a being a successful boxer.
Gyllenhaal completely inhabits his good intentioned but not always wise boxer and he delivers a knockout performance that is in fact too good for a film of Southpaw's predictable and sadly un-affecting narrative and while he makes the film far more watchable than it should be, he can't save the film from becoming a highly forgettable boxing tinged drama.
From the film's opening 15 minutes it's not hard to see exactly where proceedings are being led to and where they will end up (once Forest Whitaker's harsh yet kind hearted trainer Tick Wills shows up you may as well press the stop button) and whilst director Antoine Fuqua finds excitement and energy inside the boxing ring the films sporadically used bouts aren't enough to save the film's total lack of motivation outside the ring and frustratingly this marks another so-so picture from Fuqua who seems to have peaked far too early with his standout 2001 Denzel Washington star vehicle Training Day.
Another glaring issue with Southpaw is the way in which it drops the ball regarding Hope's relationship with his estranged young daughter Leila there are far too few scenes in Southpaw between the pair and with a central driving force in the story centring around Hope's wish to be the father his daughter needs, this is a big mistake by Fuqua and his famed Sons of Anarchy screenwriter Kurt Sutter.
For fans of Gyllenhaal Southpaw will offer up another great chance to see the esteemed performer deliver another memorable and full bodied turn but as a boxing drama, Southpaw is merely ticking off a checklist of events that have been done before and done a whole lot better.
2 ½ back tattoos out of 5 | 5 |
Smh. Eyeroll. Yawn. Whatever you wanna do. Its the same old rubbish. Scariest thing about this movie is that its 90 mins of my life Ill never get back. | 3 |
Instead of reviewing the basically perfect S01 and great S02, I will only comment on S03 in this review. The Duffer Brothers obviously ran out of ideas to borrow from Spielberg, and now they copy Cameron and other 80s action directors-auteurs, with mixed to terrible results. ST still looks amazing: style, color, SFX & VFX, sound and editing are as good as they've ever been, but the writing has been turned into lazy copy/paste, with a million bad puns and exaggerated character traits as well as fan service and 80s Easter egg hunt.
Almost every character in the series is now a caricature of their former self. Everything has been dialed up to 11 and that's not a good thing, because not every aspect of Season 3 needs to be aggressively inflated for it to make sense and be entertaining. Sometimes less is more. Oh, and yes, the evil guys are now Russians, whom are Scooby Doo villains.
The kids have turned into Ethan Hunt-type secret agents, all adults are morons, and there's an annoying emphasis on female empowerment and lack of privacy. I expect S04 to turn into an 8-episode telenovella with a few scares and thousands of 80s Easter eggs and references, instead of a well-wriiten, compelling storyline. It was great while it lasted. Goodbyen Stranger Things, hello El & Max, the most annoying female character after Janice from 'Friends'. | 7 |
Wandavision is INFURIATING due to being episodic. I want MORE.
The throwbacks to old tv shows in each decade has been fun and sweet, and the undertones of nefariousness has been fun to guess between each released episode. I wish the episodes were longer, and I wish I knew which Wanda arc from the comic books they were going with (yes, I'm one of those people.)
Looking forward to seeing what happens for the rest of the season, and I'm totally primed for whatever movie setup they're leading up to like a chump. I'm all in. Keep up the high level production and acting, thanks guys. | 8 |
I really enjoyed it! It really captured the disorganized feelings that come from a dissociative disorder!
So far this is the most relatable marvel character I've ever seen. | 8 |
I thought season 1 was great. And I think season 2 was Amazing! The show has gotten a lot of bad ratings because of the graphic scenes in season 2 but honestly, this is what makes the show so good. I love that 13 Reasons Why isn't afraid of taking on such sensitive subjects, many that other show's just won't deal with.
Season 2 deals with issues like rape culture, rape, gun violence and of course suicide and bullying. Subjects I have very strong feelings about and the fact that the show addresses these difficult issues and shows a graphic image of reality is something I appreciate.
What makes a good show is how you feel when you're not watching it. And during this short period when I was binging through season 2 I didn't have anything else on my mind. | 9 |
As the title says, this is nothing more than a PC piece of SJW libtard crap. It DOES have a few instances of humor, but they are few and far between. Not worth anyone's time, and the only reason I bothered to finish the entire movie was because I was watching all Marvel movies in chronological order, if that is not your goal, don't bother. | 2 |
From season two onward this show fails miserably at everything it tries to do, it's boring annoying and just not intresting in the least. Euphoria tackles everything this show tries to and delivers a compelling, gripping and emotional experince.
(seriously watch it instead of this) | 4 |
This film has no redeeming features. It is not only the worst movie that I've seen so far this year, it is also the worst Marvel movie to date. It is even worse than Fantastic Four and has most in common with Hulk, a comparison that no film ever wants. What Michelle Williams is doing in this steaming pile of garbage I will never know. It gets one star for almost making me smile at one point, and another star out of pity. | 2 |
On top of its being a pile of utter sh***, i'd say just one more thing. If you had a time machine to, say, "save lives" as they mention quite a few times on screen, well, all i kept thinking during this film was (on top of above title) : maybe go back to the 20th of April 1889 and kill just that one Austrian baby before he grows up to kill, erm, millions ?? Wtf were they thinking, honestly ? And that's JUST on top of the total nonsense of it all... Can i go back in time PLEASE and not watch it ? | 4 |
The latest from David O. Russell (Spanking the Monkey/Joy) from earlier this year. What amounts to a trio of friends (Christian Bale, a doctor, John David Washington, a lawyer, & Margot Robbie, a nurse/artist) who meet during WWI, return back to the States in various stages of mental & physical debilitation only to be corralled into a murder mystery & the efforts of a fascist cabal to influence an American politician, Robert De Niro, before he gives a major speech. In order to get to that final end game where the players come together to right the various wrongs, the viewer has to wade through multiple plotlines, characters (inhabited by many heavy hitters of cinema today) & digressions that at times you forget if you're watching a pulpy narrative or the screen tests for same. I guess the best the film can claim, at least for the beleaguered concert promoters out there, their current foil, Taylor Swift, who makes a fleeting appearance in this swirl, gets a particularly gruesome sendoff. | 5 |
Everything was in place for this film, but the executives interfered and forced the filmmaker to bloat the film with Shields arc. The first two Marvel films were okay in the villain stakes, but Iron Man 2 was the first showcase of what can go wrong with excluding them. Rourke is essentially a cameo role and it's a shame. You can see all the future world building being done here and it drains the film. Marvel clearly needed an additional film, but wanted The Avengers so they forced Shield into the storyline. This is a disappointing film and showcased the issue with not providing your cast with purpose. | 5 |
I am glad to see that I am not the only one that just does not 'get' this movie. It is spoken of almost religiously,and it seems that if you dare ask 'why?',your sanity is questioned. Maybe people are overwhelmed by the big-name cast,and have been told so many times what a great movie this is, for so long, and are afraid to say different. All I know is that I heard and read endless,over-the-top praise for this movie for years and years. I managed to avoid seeing it until well over a decade after it was released. What a disappointment. I could not believe I was watching the same movie that I had heard so,so much about. I was absolutely astonished with how boring it was. I could not believe how disjointed it was. I could not believe the praise that Marlon Brando was given for such a weak,lackluster performance- it is goofy beyond parody. As the film rambled and shambled along,I began to wonder if I was the victim of some sort of obscure joke-this crummy film could NOT be the same movie I had heard so much about. Unfortunately,somehow, the universally-praised movie and this boring and bloated bomb I was seeing turned out to be one and the same. Watch it on a rainy day and decide for yourself if this movie is worthy of all the hype. | 3 |
This movie is slow paced and there are many slow long drawn out scenes. the movie would benefit if it moved faster and had different shots & angles and possibly even music in different scenes. personally i feel overall this movie was poorly constructed and would have been much better if worked on by a team of different professionals.
this movie lacks some realism. this movies version of realistic scenes is....so holly-woodish and fake. i mean certain scenes seem to me as an avid-movie buff to be.....as real looking as a fake apple is to hold and touch. and the dialogue and decisions of the characters and their character-build are as sharp as a polished marble.
some things i didn't like: i didn't like the African American actor who played one of the fathers in this movie. i don't like the way he looks, sounds, or that he couldn't play his instrument in the beginning, and i don't like his comments. i would have preferred him to be someone else with different dialogue, and directions.
i don't like how the detective in this movie looks like a frickin ex-con prisoner. when i first saw him i thought he was the antagonist/bad-guy. the detective was made to look this way cause some fool in the production crew thought this was the hot-guy look teens go for and maybe her personal preference for men so she (or he?) made this character look this certain ex-con fashionable way. to me his look and the things he says and does is totally unprofessional. I didn't like how the detective talks to his boss (captain) with disrespect and disdain in his voice as if he is superior to him- the the captain hearing and witnessing this disrespect allowed it and seemed incompetent. this to me seems entirely unresearched and fabricated. in other words it's unrealistic. if a detective talks to his commanding officer in any agency in any town the way this fellow does in this movie he would be looking for a new job quick. yet im supposed to buy that this hipster cool detective can get away with this? why? and his captain is some loser behind a desk? is this a comedy? no. its just badly written because it's unrealistic.
Anyway...the detective is supposed to be some genius of a guy who has solved all six of his cases and the actor who plays him does as good of a job as he can with poor dialogue and direction but unfortunately its not enough to save his poorly constructed decisions. what i mean is- this actor does what he is told to do- and he is told to do some dumb things by the director/writer. otherwise i have no problem with the way he looks or talks to his captain. what i mean is- he is SUPPOSED to be a genius detective but what he actually does and says in this movie opposes his role as a genius because there is nothing highly intelligent about discussing astrological signs in his opening scene, being disrespectful to his boss, and disregarding rules and doing things by the book. nothing he does is really special at all is what i mean.....he has this higher than thou attitude but what we see him do in the movie is new yorker-ish in the bad attitude sense and is common! so he is written and introduced by another character as being "special" but he does nothing special! His actions are rudimentary and unprofessional- that is why i say this movie is poorly constructed and poorly researched!
This movie reminds me of some South Korean thriller movies but are not as fast paced and fun to watch as them. I recommend you watch The Chaser and I Saw the Devil if you liked this junky movie.
The things I liked about this movie: The main characters Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal have great acting skills and presence in this movie. they are likable fellows and i enjoy seeing them in this movie and have an affection for them because of other movies i have seen them in. they practically save this poorly structured and poorly written movie. without them this movie would appear on Lifetime channel as a TV movie as it is poorly made like one. | 6 |
All the actors were fantastic. Ending was beyong immagination. Very dark thriller story. Well u need to watch to know the real parasite. Movie won the oscar, still I would vote Tumbbad compare to Parasite. 10 stars for the acting. First 1hrs felt little slow, overall 6 points. | 6 |
Glad I didn't watch the academy awards. I have tried twice to view this film. I actually like the entire cast, but not for this cringeworthy film. They are a great group of actors who deserve a better vehicle. Boring is a complement. The multiverse concept is a Marvel plot flagpole in their current phase. It sort of works, but EEAAW takes it to the point of making it so distracting that it destroys the film. I'm a big Marvel fan who is losing interest because of the chaotic, use of the multiverse concept. How about we do a new biographic film about Gandhi, Jesus, or Mother Teresa using the multiverse. It would sweep every Oscar, hands down. The sheep would be in heaven, despite not having a clue about the main characters real lives, contributions to humanity. | 2 |
I'm a big Marvel movie fan and scarlet witch and dr strange are some of my favorite characters. I've been looking forward to this movie for so long-when I walked out of it all I could think was "what did I just watch?"
I like to go into certain movies without having seen the trailer and this was one of them. I couldn't get into the story-I didn't mind darker tones but it felt like it was trying too hard and lost at the same time.
Also, if you have young kiddos (which I do not), this movie could be quite intense and frightening for them.
Unfortunately, I'm super disappointed. I know everyone will have their own opinion and I truly hope other fans enjoy it more than I did. Here's hoping Love and Thunder is an improvement. | 3 |
It truly is one of the peculiar anime I've ever watched and true to it's name it is bizzare all the way from start to the end I really enjoyed it.
You'll definitely like it if you're into action, SciFi, thriller genres it really stands out from other animes and gives you a new experience. | 9 |
I don't know how many times I have watched this movie. Still everytime when I found telecasted on tv I watch it. It is full of action and comedy. I don't think,there is any movie that can compete It's action, comedy with great line. | 8 |
I knew nothing of the games, books or series but we thoroughly enjoyed this series. The timeline jumps were not noticed at first but able to figure them out, and while aspects are predictable for me, they were very enjoyable. The acting is excellent, the scenes and story are captivating, and the world and imagination are exactly what is called for. Highly recommend. | 9 |
This movie would have been a blockbuster if It got released in the recent years. | 10 |
Interstellar(2014) Starring:Matthew McConaughey,Anne Hathaway,Jessica Chastain,Michael Caine,Casey Affleck, Ellen Burstyn,Matt Damon,John Lithgow,Timothee Chalamet,Mackenzie Foy,Wes Bentley,Bill Irwin and Topher Grace Directed By:Christopher Nolan Review MANKIND WAS BORN ON EARTH. IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO DIE HERE. Let's travel to a parallel world in the new film Star Trek I mean Interstellar. But seriously what's the damn difference,this movie is about space exploration for an inhabitable world and Star Trek is just still space exploration. The film is about a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage. I honestly could not tell you if this film achieved it's goal or not because I'm not sure if it's trying to be fun or just something else. It tries to be a serious exciting adventure into space so I am going to go with it trying to be fun,but in which case it isn't. I was so bored during this movie. The film is way too long they could have finished it sooner but decide not too and it just makes that much harder to sit through. The story is not that interesting,with it's theme being about you know take care of the earth which we've seen to death in some better movies. The film is getting massive talks for reasons I don't know but I'm going to go with the venturing through space and it's awesome CGI which a film does not make. The performances from the film are solid even from actors who I don't find too be great but just OK(Topher Grace). The standouts however are Michael Caine,Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway.They were my favorite part of the movie as for everything else,I just found to be boring. The direction from Christopher Nolan this time around is not all that great,he gets good performances out of his actors OK but he always does. The problem was the shots and worst of all I saw lens flares,is he turning into J.J Abrhams. The only worthwhile point from the movie is what I had just mentioned earlier,it's about taking care of our planet,but like I've said we have better films then this for that. The movie is also way too long,i did find a problem with it's pacing everything feels slow. I believe it's because Nolan wants us to take in everything were seeing on screen. The elements of a good film are not here much,it has great Cgi and some good acting but that's about it. I didn't care for the characters and I wasn't invested in anything that was going on, I'm giving Interstellar a two out of five. | 5 |
The Godfather Part Two is possibly the best film ever made, every part of this film is amazing, it is even better than the original, I was very surprised by this. The story is amazing, everything makes perfect sense. The Oscar winning screenplay is amazing, the dialogue is some of the most original, and realistic ever putt on screen, the characters are flawless, and it's in every way perfectly written. The acting is just as fantastic, I can't believe Al Pacino lost the Oscar, and for once Robert De Niro was even better, he was truly amazing, and interestingly he fails to say a single word in English. The direction is also amazing, Francis Ford Coppola even does a better job than he did in The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now. The visual effects are so much better than the amazing one's in the original Godfather. One of the best films ever, a must see. Flawless. | 10 |
Wow kira you really are something, honestly i never did see the merits of this show until L died, for a skill and tactical student like light,submission was inevitable. You could see it coming from the start but not in an embarrassing way like that, for What is worth it was a pleasant journey. But in the end you'll always meet your demise cause nothins certain. | 8 |
Review date: 2014
Animation was great, art was simple but unique, soundtrack was very good, story was very good (though not entirely original), narrative was really great, characters were fantastic.
First off, I loved that the females clearly have noses. They barely exist in the world of anime. Anyways, after having watched both the subbed and dubbed versions of Steins;Gate, I am thoroughly happy with almost everything about this series. A delightful set-up with lovable and dynamic characters, a wonderul soundtrack, many honest and even educational themes, a deep and evocative story, and a powerful narrative with great voice actors. But, to be honest, I've seen plenty of great anime that do those things. To me, the areas in which this anime truly shines beyond the rest is in it's perfection; it simply lacks error. I have always been a man who finds every little problem and every detail, analyzing them and using them to form a more detail-oriented opinion. However, I must say that throughout this entire anime, almost every question was answered and everything fit together without error. After watching it a second time, I saw there was one thing that wasn't explained, but I think I figured out the explanation myself, so it doesn't bother me much. When it comes to continuity, this anime is number one, especially when it comes to sci-fi, and even more especially when it comes to time travel sci-fi. This is the most well thought out and put together time travel story that I can remember seeing in my entire life. | 8 |
Trust me when I say this...BHAG MILKHA BHAG is the best movie I have ever ever watched. Not just amongst bollywood movies but it even beats any Hollywood movie ever made. For a movie based on a True life story I think this is a pretty hard thing to do..Every aspect of the movie is extreme and more beautiful than one can ever imagine.Romance, suffering, sadness, joy, excitement its got it all. So much respect for Sardar Milkha Singh ji for all his hard work and for all those people who endured what they endured during the partition of India and Pakistan 1947. Milkha Singh..Nobody could have played this role better than Farhan Akhtar...an absolute legend. His work in the movie is absolutely Mind blowing. His acting was so genuine I can not imagine there to be a person who wasn't moved. This movie absolutely touched my heart and shook me to my very core. I laughed, cried, got excited, nervous like I was there witnessing it all in real. Sardar Milkha Singh there SHOULD be a public holiday every year in your honor. And Farhan Akhtar..You Are An Absolute Legend. | 10 |
I've watched some of the conjuring and annabelle series. I could actually enjoy scenes of demon's attack and action but the whole series are full of ''god'' things and they just cringe me out. They are for those who believe that ''god'', which is just a male being, created us (lol) , protect us from the evil and blah blah things. And what? Even babies given a birth by women risking their life are creation of that male?? Please, that's hilarious. How greed. | 4 |
