This film is normally not an expected one from the masala syndrome infected Indian audience , and one would go only to relieve themselves of the stress caused by day-to-day life . However you come out of the hall , enthralled and shocked by the aura & charm of this absolute realistic black comedy.
Rajat Sir has proved that without a star--studded cast and the slapstick comedy , he can make a man lose his control and burst into peals of laughter , without even have to ache your stomach for that.
Adding on , Vinay Ji & Ranveer Ji have shown their full potential in this black comedy .The best part of this movie was Mr. Bharat Bhushan , who though being good & kind--hearted by nature, unexpectedly pulls out the funniest situations from the worst . Finally , A Hats Off To This Bheja Fry !!!! Enjoy , bro !

It was quite disappointing at the end to see that it was just another superhero series, the hippo was lame and at the end we did not learn absolutely nothing about the characters or what really happened, that would have been interesting to some extent, but the thing is that by the 6th episode you stop caring about it all.
It doesn't look like there was enough research on culture, or at least an interest to make the Egyptian gods relevant.
I don't think it will be renewed, and I don't care if the character appears again on any movie, it was dull! And i thought that the Falcon and the Winter soldier was the worst.

It had its ups and downs. The story is pretty straightforward and not very surprising (whoever ever read a book about similar "assasination" and "conspiracy" thriller would see the obvious patterns and wanna be surprises) but the acting was good. All in all - would not hurt to watch but definitely not a "must see this again" kind of thing for me.

That's why Shahrukh Khof the best actor of the whole world.The movie was just awesome in every ways.
Thank you so much sir.The movie plot was marvelous.The acting was real.That's why I love it so much. Hope that it Will be a blockbuster.
Thanks to the director also.Awesome job done by you guys.The double roll of Sir was something special.Great effort to the whole crew.After so much time i get a good movie to watch.'Main Tera Hirey fan ho'.This is cinema at its finest. The ending is a bit ambiguous, and you will think about this film your entire life. Director Manish Sharma soars high, he will soon join the ranks of Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman, Christopher Nolan and David Fincher.

There are films that don't look like much at first but end up becoming cult-movies over the years and then there are films that don't look like much at first and are completely forgotten in time, this is the latter.

I'm 2 episodes in and I must say that Netflix's attempts on catering towards "the general public/mainstream" is sad. In my opinion the characters shouldn't be changed for the sake of being "politically correct" either. This is what basically makes some of the scenes a bit cringy.
The show is great apart from the 2 critical points mentioned above. The theme of the show is of course amazing, the scenery is beautiful, the costumes are on point and so are the monsters; most of all the music is just right!

I have not seen the new movie, but have read synopsis of story and read a few reviews.
I like the first film TRON, its one of those well crafted scifi's that has just enough special effects to complement your imagination. so really doesn't suffer too much vs to date CGI effects.
Also, like it or not! but the P.C. game TRON 2.0 is the true sequel to TRON, both in name and continuity and deserves the title TRON 2.0 as the story line is basically, Twenty years later Alan Bradley, creator of the original TRON program, disappears under mysterious circumstances, his son Jet, a talented young computer programmer, is transported into the computer world in search of answers. oh does this sound familiar.
I feel they have missed out on an opportunity to expand on the story, they have just rehashed the game story, accommodating main stream actors, using a plot that sounds very similar to TRON.
Yes the new film is eye candy, and thats about it, I'm sure I will enjoy the spectacle but from the previews, this version lacks the ghostly spirit in the machine of the first.

The first and second season was truly amazing. From its epic soundtrack to well thought of plot twists, it is really something worth the watch.
However, come season 3, the plot and how it was delivered was really terrible. The addition of new characters were fine, but as the episodes progresses plotholes after plotholes continue to be very visible. Plus the ending is a real bonkers and will leave you scratching your head.
Still it is a lot of fun to watch. I love how the characters are portrayed, but i seriously believe Alysson doesn't deserve a happy ending.

I'm not the first to say it and I won't be the last, Netflix's newest high profile release feels like a poor man's A Quiet Place.
Tackling a similar high concept idea as John Krasinski's break out thriller hit, with sight replacing sound this time around, Susanne Bier's mid-budgeted feature fails to capture the heart or pulse pounding thrills that Krasinski found, as lead actress Sandra Bullock tries to survive an apocalyptic landscape without being able to see.
Based on Josh Malerman's hit novel of the same name, Bird Box arrives in our lounge-rooms with enough pedigree behind it, with the likes of John Malkovich, Trevante Rhodes and Sarah Paulson joining Bullock and Brier, but this very much feels like a cheap and nasty attempt at the thriller/horror mashup that features far too many dumb character decisions and plot progressions to have a chance of entertaining.
Bullock does her best to elevate proceedings with Malorie allowing the actress a lot of movement as the lead in the film, a reluctant mother trying her best to find safety for herself and her two young children but everything around the actress is tired, forced and uninspired.
A director more famous for her foreign drama works like After the Wedding and hit TV show The Night Manager, Bird Box sees Bier out of her depth as she tries to unleash the full potential of this tale into a feature length form, but the Denmark based filmmaker feels out of place on this particular instance with no scenes in Bird Box feeling like the set piece the film desperately needed to enliven it.
At the two hour mark you'll be thanking your lucky stars when the credits begin to roll, as 120 minutes in a world featuring stereotypical side characters, unbelievable occurrences (blind driving and boating) and an ending that will have you placing head into palms isn't ideal as Bird Box with its non-scary big bad and lethargic happenings is the very definition of a non-thrilling thriller.
Final Say -
There might be a good film to be made out of Malerman's novel but Netflix's Bird Box isn't it. A lame, plodding and energy free affair, this Quiet Place wannabe is a major flop despite its viral fame thanks to memes and Netflix's clever marketing campaigns.

1st episode is too good. All the characters (one man palyed) was excellent, it still has the crisps of BB ki vines.
Good episode to watch. I m eagerly waiting for 2nd episode. Keep this hard work continue Bhuvan.

Without having a sense how a director makes this type of movie. Totally rubbish.

This show is very well written and acted, it is different to anything else on TV, it takes the Groundhog Day concept onto a higher plain.
It flicks from comedy to mystery to science fiction continuously through the very snappy dialogue, your literally sit back and wonder where it's going next. I hope they can sustain this level of storyline, it's excellent. Great soundtrack too.

The plot is very good, with loads of twists and turns. However, I did not like this movie. It was an entirely unpleasant experience.

One of the worst I have ever watched, and I like Sandra & George This movie is almost as bad as Batman, Men in Black & Ironman which were total crap ... What happened to meaningful plots and believability? I cannot even think of one good thing to say about this Academy nominated junk ... in fact this movie makes me wonder what is the Acadamey thinking? Nothing was believable and as hard as Sandra tried, the whole concept failed from beginning to end ... total ridiculous fantasy with no redeeming qualities ...Who is paying whom to proport this is as a quality movie? This movie is on par with the hostel series, except, hostel was more believable ... Makes one wonder about the core values in America ... those seeking profit at all cost, taint the behaviour of the US government, the media and those with money only care about the pursuit of $$$$ ... what happened to the concepts of integrity and truthfulness?? ... I suspect these do not make money ...!!!!

I love mysterious and this had it all. An absolutely perfect cast that each gave a great performance large or small. Margot Robbie really is showing her range and John David Washington is standing apart from his father showing his talent. Honestly Christian Bale is one of the great actors of our times. This was a quirky, charming, even fun movie with a point. It stands apart from movies like blockbusters knives out as it is not over done and polished. I liked the way the love theme played out in the movie showing all kinds of love. Friendship being one of the most enduring.
Loved it, one of my favourite of the year.

Episode 6 is one of the stupidest in the history of cinema. Pity because for 5 episodes it was also a visible series. I don't understand how it is possible to end a script like this, because in the first episodes it seemed written by a skilled scriptwriter. But perhaps more than to the screenwriter I would move some notes to the producer who perhaps should have read the series finale a few more times and intervene ...

I believe if prequel or even if sequel...is made ....then also the tempo of this movie will remain same..

I have decided that movie companies are out of ideas. A 'good bad guy' who is infected with alien goop that gives him schizophrenia and severe multiple personality disorder? No thanks. I have seen this plot line and shallow villain before. Some would call this movie uniquely original, but I would call it bizarre and quite stupid. The one positive aspect of this movie is how much fun I had laughing at it.

The first thing you'll notice when watching Red Sparrow is how edgy is tries to be. In a matter of 140 minutes, Jennifer Lawrence is handicapped, raped, forced to strip, taught to be a seductress, and tortured. None of this comes off as a storytelling mechanism, instead, it just ends up being exploitative action that tries to sustain your waning attention from its overlong runtime and dull plot.
Dominika Egorova (Jennifer Lawrence) is one of Russia's top ballet dancers, but all of that changes when a gruesome stage accident breaks her leg and ruins her career. Desperate to be able to afford taking care of her sick mother, Dominika reluctantly agrees to become an agent for the state and to be trained to become a "Sparrow", young soldiers who use sexual tactics to get close and eliminate high-value targets. Heading the program is Matron (Charlotte Rampling), who breaks and molds Dominika into the perfect sexual soldier.
Her first mission, which is being led by her devious uncle (Matthias Schoenaerts), is to track down and get close to CIA agent Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton), who is hiding out in Istanbul. Nash has a contact within the KGB that is feeding him state secrets, something the Russian government fears will make them fall behind in the new Cold War.
The plot has been done before and better by a multitude of films, most notably 2011's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. There's a revolving door of sets as we trot around the globe in a game of cat and mouse. None of the locations are that interesting and, except some nice touristy shots, feel like they are only included for name value.
The film fails quite miserably to act on its main theme of female empowerment. Dominika is never once given the chance to be empowering or independent since the whole time she is being controlled by someone else. This is quite the surprise as director Francis Lawrence worked with star Jennifer Lawrence on the last three Hunger Games films. You would think he would know how to use her to fulfill his purpose.
Director Lawrence also feels like he is overcompensating here. His overuse of action and sex takes away from the already conventional plot, something I don't think Lawrence knew when he was doing it. I think he felt he had a smart story that could be boosted by hard action. But what he really had was an overlong run of the mill spy caper that, apart from a pretty good ending, is dampened by cheap thrills that come off as a poor attempt to get a reaction.
The two stars, Lawrence and Edgerton, each give adequate performances to make up for their inadequate characters. They work fine independently in separate locations, but together they don't mesh well. Their relationship feels very forced and fake, which can be attributed to the director as much as the actors.
The film does bolster a surprisingly large supporting cast of established actors. The problem is that none of them really get enough material to make themselves stand out. Schoenaerts and Rampling do the best, mostly because I could actually remember their characters names once the film was over. Jeremy Irons and Ciaran Hinds fall into the background as stereotypical Russian officials that have no interesting traits. They both do a fine job, but it doesn't really matter in the end.
Red Sparrow sells itself on being a spy film for adults, one with a complex plot and hard edge action. That promise never comes to fruition because we learn instead that this film is nothing more than a generic spy thriller with a lot more unneeded violence. My review is sounding very harsh on the film, mostly because it's really easy to point all the things this film does wrong. Overall, it's passable, but not memorable.

I am a big fan of the actress Margot Robbie. I loved her last year in "Babylon" and "Amsterdam". And before those I loved her in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and as Harley Quinn in "Suicide Squad", "Birds of Prey" and "The Suicide Squad".
I also liked Ryan Gosling in "La la land".
Now here they are together in "Barbie" directed by Greta Gerwig, who did such a great job with "Little Women" and "Lady Bird".
I didn't know what to expect from a movie about a Barbie doll but this movie is a very entertaining and fun movie that brings Barbie's world to life with great production design and costumes and good cinematography.
I couldn't imagine another actress playing this part as perfectly as Margot Robbie does here. She is a great movie star. The supporting cast is also excellent including Will Ferrell as the CEO of Mattel. I had a great time with the movie "Barbie".

It was artistically very well made, but not much else. It doesn't go anywhere or have any memorable songs. It's about two people who first hate each other on the freeway and later like each other after bumping into one another, but for no reason. They have no chemistry and it's repetitive that she's getting auditions and he wants a singing career, but what do they have together?

First of all, the story was great. This series had such great potential to be brilliant, addictive and entertaining, but .. What an artistic poop. The story is stretched, situations prolonged. Long music scenes where nothing happens. The series would have been a great 5 episode miniseries. The 10 episodes were absolutely insane to extend the story, which culminated in the final 50 minute episode, where the actual entertainment was 15-20 minutes. 6/10 because this was ok, but not addictive and entertainment what I expeckted seeing the first episode. What a disappointment.

Intentionally cretisise a nation,a,city,a culture,a language. I just want to forget that film.

Such a waste of money, not mine, but 321 millions of dollars to make a movie like this? Not to mention the cast full of stars.
Alleatory, forced jokes,tiring.
I'm not huge fan of super hero's movies, but this one managed not to achieve my not to high expectation of a minimally interesting and engaging plot
| 3 |
It deserves more than 5 of 10 stars, but I feel that the collective rating is misleading, so I try to even things out.
The acting, cinematography, locations, music etc. Is state of the art.
Sadly it is just a display of what happens when you give a respected writer/director a massive budget, acquire great actors and just fly away with hubris propelling you with thrust from the derrière throughout the production.
It has all the right ingredients, but they are mixed and arranged in a way that I never would have expected from one of my favorite directors.
But for all the great work he has done, I'll let this one slide.
Edit: I had way too high expectations for this movie. Tarantino has made several of my favorite movies, but they can't all turn out the way I hoped for.

THE FABELMANS, a semi-autobiographical account of the film's director, Steven Spielberg's childhood years, co-written by Spielberg and Tony Kushner, stars Gabriel LaBelle as the young, budding filmmaker Sammy Fabelman. Sammy's hesitant, yet supportive parents, Mitzi and Burt Fabelman are played by the luminous Michelle Williams and the convincing Paul Dano. Also in the film, Judd Hirsch making a short but memorable appearance in his recent Best Supporting Actor Oscar-nominated performance as Sammy's cantankerous Uncle Boris. Spielberg pays homage to the wonders and realities of youth, dreams and love of cinema seen through the eyes of Sammy whose early life witnesses his mother's unrealized musical aspirations, his father's multiple job changes resulting in the Fabelmans various moves from state-to-state, and the ultimate breakup of his family following his parents divorce. All this going on while Sammy realizes and begins to nurture his own artistic talents for filmmaking. A highlight of the movie is an almost unrecognizable David Lynch who appears at the climax of the film as Iconic director John Ford who talks to Sammy about the importance of horizon in good filmmaking. Steven Spielberg is one of the great directors who is blessed with a true gift for storytelling and he accomplishes this, again with THE FABELMANS. You may recognize his abiding love for Indiana Jones in this film through the character of a handsome, tough on the outside, flawed on the inside high school track star, caught on camera on Ditch Day by 18 year old Sammy Fabelman. It's obvious Steven Spielberg never forgot him.

It is a very innovative campy comedy action film, with a cartoonish aesthetics and dark humor. In the beginning, my favourite part, there are also elements of mafia and Western. Afterwards, it becomes a full kung fu movie, with an interesting fantastic realism which overcones any excessive silliness.

Could have been great. If it had vision and boldness.
It tries to do so much and in the end does so little. Just nonsense.

It's not the original and you'll be disappointed if you're looking for a modern update of an old classic.
However, if you can forget the name and take it on its own merit, then you'll find a very entertaining series.
It's one of the best sci-fi scripted series available and ends in a complete arc without cliffhangers.
Best part of the series for me was the relationship between Will and the Robot. Worst part is the doctor.

Another epic Christopher Nolan brain-twister, this time in space. As a father, the setup is utterly frustrating as Matthew McConaughey leaves his young children behind to venture through a worm-hole to find a habitable planet next to a ginormous black-hole.

Great movie, unlike previous criticisms. As usual Christian Bale still managed to kill his role and lead the whole movie with a good cast of other actors. Although the film still lacks something, it still keeps the audience's curiosity. And if you are a fan of Christian Bale you should definitely not ignore this character, it is extremely funny.
The movie doesn't please everyone, and some people, but if you need a little detective, humor, entertainment, not putting too much weight on, this is the movie for you. Maybe I'm too easy on the movie but hey I'm a fan of C. B and this is an interesting character, I'd love for him to take on more roles like this.

This movie (along with the first movie) truly destroyed what makes Peter Parker special. Peter Parker is not a whiner who will ruminate about whether he should help save the world or whether he should go to Eiffel Tower to potentially kiss a girl. Peter Parker is savvy and smart. They made him into a wimp who keeps on saying "please grown-ups, include me in your grown up superhero stuff." In the previous movies (ones under Sony), his character is at least preserved to some extent that you can root for him. Definitely not this movie's Spider-Man.
Best part of the movie: mid credits scene. Save your time and money and just watch that. Anything else was like watching a Hannah Montana episode.

ZODIAC 2007 (JAKE GYLLENHAAL, MARK RUFFALO, ROBERT DOWNEY, JR.) DIRECTED BY: David FINCHER ~ THE RUNDOWN: David Fincher better watch his a** because if the never-captured Zodiac Killer is still around, the guy might decide to slip his hood on one last time and enact revenge for this frighteningly paced catastrophe. ~ Well the Zodiac STILL hasn't had a good movie made about him, and with a case as horrifying and extremely intriguing as his - I'd be plain pis*ed off! I mean, wow, the guy went around in an executioner's outfit stabbing people in broad daylight, as well as totally messing with the San Francisco police department for years...yet, so far, every movie about the guy has just sucked, including this one, and I truly am disappointed because David Fincher is a brilliant filmmaker and his take on the Zodiac killings looked so promising. Yet, this movie, by no means, delivered and only makes the true events unappealing. The pacing was horrible and the screenplay was muddled and jumpy with no sense of where it wanted to go or how it wanted to present what happened. Now, I know it's based on a book, but I guess the book must suck too. Also, the Jake Gyellhaal/Reporter aspect of the story was boring, clichéd and basically the same thing as that straight-to-video Zodiac movie made recently with Rory Culkin in it. Everything about the film was completely expected with little to no innovation and I'm sorry to say Fincher, but your energies were completely wasted. And, what the hell was up with all the subtitles? They were definitely unnecessary every two minutes. ~ The movie was two and a half hours in length but seemed more like three and a half. Looking back on the film, most of the good stuff was foolishly jammed into the first hour or less and the rest of the film comes across as a tedious, incomprehensible cycle of Gyllenhaal running around getting information about the guy with little suspense and entertainment value. This is a problem because no one wants to sit there and listen to long strands of information read to them. That just plain sucks. It's true there was some genuinely funny dark humor, but not enough to compensate for its problems, and, anyways, this isn't a comedy and shouldn't be awarded points for a little cheap humor, despite the fact it was indeed tasty and very brilliant at times when Fincher somehow managed to showcase just a little of his brilliance here and find a middle ground between horror and dark humor. Furthermore, in Zodiac's support, Downey Jr. was amazing and with this movie he's finally starting to show how amazing of an actor he is again. Also, it was indeed very, very well and very consistently shot. Yet, in the end, Zodiac is easily a waste of time.

Excellent cinematography, good sound. A few funny bits but NO PLOT AT ALL. At least not that we could make out. Scarlett Johansson was cute, Bill Murray seemed to be straining to be funny. Sometimes. Giovanni Ribisi was wasted. The location was excellent, and those who spend a long time away in hotels would relate to many parts of this. I can understand why it was nominated but also understand why it didn't win. I find it interesting to note that 'Love Actually' was recommended on this page, which was another movie we had high expectations of and also did not enjoy. I would not call this movie 'crap' because I think it is very much down to personal opinion. A very unfulfilling movie though, in our opinion, and I struggled to stay awake.

This is all gritty enough and credible and the cast includes some top talent. But I honestly didn't know what was going on half the time, despite a general sense of menace. It's probably true enough to the milieu it's showing, but how many people know that milieu. And it's WAY longer than it needs to be.

A great packaging of episodes with perfect rise and fall of emotions, it defines our nation, struggle our Civil Servants experience before becoming what they are. The direction, casting and acting is at pinnacle. Mellifluous music, great cinematography and a perfect piece of humour placef where needed.
| 8 |
The story flys fast, characters flying fast, there is no certain background what happened when something happened. It's seems like a low budget movie.
Tom Hardy trying hard to get rid of it his other characters in previous movies such as "Bane" and other important roles. He does a good job though.
But the other characters are not as succesful like mr. Hardy. I don't understand that whats the point of the "Carlton Drake" character. He doesn't explaing what he trying to do exactly. What was the moral of "Dr. Dora Skirth"? A lot of important dialogues of the movie just cutting short and we moving forward to another action scene.
After all it's fun to watch but do not expect more.

It is a good show at best. It does not deserve 10/10 and definitely not as good as narcos or breaking bad .People are review bombing it with 10/10 score and these are the same people who think race3 is awesome . This is a good show with good acting from everyone with a lot of hinduphobia shown by the director . The show has a gangs of wasypur feel to it but it is really not that exciting.
| 7 |
This is the most faithful recreation of one of the greatest characters ever, Geralt of Rivia, it's fantastic.
If you like proper fantasy ballads, this one will rival Game of Thrones, if they're willing to pump the budget into it.

Wonderfully directed .great actors that can give the ability to surprise to director.
The simplicity behind all the mystery has really given the show value to be watched.

First of all i want to say that who ever wrote that review on the Ip man movie must not know anything about Ip man and Wing Chun, or he is smoking the good stuff.
this movie sucks!! this is just another stupid Hong Kong Kung Fu movie and another Chinese movie making another stupid Chinese hero like Wong Fei Hung. this is not a drama, or has anything of that sort. its not a story of I man, its just Donnie Yen fighting in a Wing Chun style and showing off. Once again. Ip man had real flaws and went through real problems from rich to wealthy, to poor to dying of drug addiction. what made this man fall that far? is what a movie in his honor should be like. the fact that they let the Ip family be involve was a huge mistake. because i am sure they were against showing Ip man as a real human being. the family was more concern of saving face rather then truly immortalizing this great man.
as a practitioner of Wing Chun i am truly disappointed at this world release film but i do have hope, because i know there is another movie of Ip man on the works this one will be directed by the awesome director of "in the mood for love" and starring the only good actor in Hong Kong T. Leung.
i hope that this will be a true depiction of Ip Man.
as for this 2008 movie, its nothing but a stupid Kung Fu movie with a bad script and plot
Nuff said

Two great actors earned some coin, and Tarantino gets to go before the cameras....wait, they forgot the story....little plot, no story....ok, zombie Tarantino fan claps with one hand.....swoosh, swoosh (crickets). The VERY first scene is such uninspired acting and such bad dialog, "I guess you could say I carry his load,".....WTF? It's a cigarette commercial featuring Brad Pitt driving an old car....DiCaprio plays the old whining has-been actor....and the Al Pacino shtick is hopeless....they blew $80 million on this trash...Why? Oh, Sony wanted a Tarantino film. Ok, now stomp on this flaming bag of excrement.
| 3 |
But all jokes aside, Pros: -Henry Cavil as Geralt, best part of the show -They nailed the chemistry between Jaskier and Geralt, Joey Batey was the perfect choice for the role. -All other actors in general are also very good. At first i found the casting of ANya as Yennefer off putting but her performance blew me away, amazing talent on this show. -Choreography of the fight scenes were glorious -Sound track is phenomenal
Cons: -Very very confusing to watch if you haven't played the games/ read the books. 3 different timelines going on at the same time in the first few episodes with no proper transition between them. I mean...why? Took me 2 episodes to figure out wtf was going on, it is quite a unique way of story telling and not bad at all but i'm sure people who have no clue about the witcher universe will find the timeline hopping very confusing at first.

The problem with this movie is that the plot is too convoluted, thus diverting attention away from the movie's basic premise, that of how the brain functions during sleep. This is a fascinating, esoteric subject but like all fascinating subjects, when Hollywood gets a hold of it, look out! You may be in for a ride, to a place we know not where. A story works best when it has a beginning, a middle and and end. When you tamper with that structure, such as by starting a movie with a flashback, you're inviting confusion and frankly, who wants to go to the movies to be confused. Stories should be told straightforwardly, but that is not the case with this movie. Is Mr. DiCaprio in a dream or not? After a while, it becomes a moot point as the movie just keeps rambling on and on to its inevitable conclusion. Nevertheless, the movie does explore some interesting subjects such as idea formation, mind manipulation, the subconscious and mental activity during sleep. Where the movie stalls is in plausibility and structure. Yet, despite these drawbacks, the movie is worth watching because of Leonardo DiCaprio who once again gives an excellent performance as a stalwart yet troubled mind prober. He carries the movie which alone makes it watchable.
Once again Hollywood has taken a perfectly good idea for a movie and has watered it down. Brainwashing is a fascinating subject. It is a key element in The Manchurian Candidate. How do we know that our ideas are actually ours and not planted into our heads? That is the underlying theme of this movie. The problem is, the story itself is so muddled and confusing that at times it becomes a distraction. Leonardi DiCaprio is excellent as a mind prober with emotional issues which get in the way of doing his job. The premise of the story is interesting , especially as it relates to questions of consciousness and unconsciousness and the formulation of ideas during sleep. But then the movie loses focus as the DiCaprio character gets more and more hung up on his emotional problems, thus diverting attention away from the movie's original premise. However, this is a good movie and is worth watching but with this disclaimer: it may put you to sleep.

One of the better horror movies i've seen lately. The story is something new, the actors did a great job, good music and editing. I hope there will be a new horror serie for us after conjuring and insidious is over.
The movie didn't just fly by either, it did feel like it did run a bit longer than just 90 minutes and I did appreciate how it held my attention the way it did. I did feel genuine dread from it, that I haven't felt from a horror movie like this in a VERY long time. If not ever. The only problem I had with it is that I wished the story was a bit more revelatory and not so secretive in a lot of areas.
Go see it if you're a fan of Horror and Modern Australian Cinema. I hope this brings nothing but success for The Philippou Brothers and the film has already gotten recognition by several popular horror directors including Jordan Peele.
This is a must see movie!

This started as a really good series and the first few seasons were quite incredible and unpredictable. Unfortunately after the fourth season this show turned into an incredibly silly TV show. The characters are revisited in the most ridiculous way, such as election of David Palmer's (black) brother, the storyline and twists are silly and the fact that some of the events portrayed are happening over a period of 2-3 hours is completely ludicrous. Jack Bauer is tortured for 2 years and as soon as he is released, and is fighting evil in what we are led to believe is about 40 minutes time.
Even the emotional response and reaction of people after a major terrorist attack is absolutely ridiculous. Twenty minutes later nobody even remembers it anymore. Overall, I think like so many other shows before it, it has finally lost it and is really not worth bothering with anymore. The first 4 seasons are still quite good and original and might entertain you if you're the first comer to the world of Jack Bauer.
6/10

I doubt anyone would have seen this had Sofia's last name not been "Coppola". (And that would have been unfortunate--don't get me wrong.) The film is well done and worth a look, but it's very much in the category of "rent, don't buy".
I've never been to Tokyo, and I might think differently about it if I had. (For example, my Dad really enjoyed "The Sound of Music" (he's not a big fan of musicals) because it showed so much of Austria, where he had lived for several years.) Very early in the movie it was clear that the film was as much about "here is what the experience of being in Tokyo is like" as it was about anything else. That's a perfectly valid thing for a film to be about, but if something gets nominated for best picture, you might expect a little more.
Now, granted, the relationship that forms is interesting--it's not like the story is pathetic and Tokyo is the only thing the movie has going for it. But...Best Director? Best Actor? Best Picture? That's just way, way overdoing it.
If you want to enjoy it, go into it with this in mind: "I want to see what being in Tokyo is like." If that's your only expectation, you'll like the film. If you go in wanting to see why it got the nominations it did, you'll still be wondering at the end.

The story is about two people who meet at Japan by chance. A bored rich movie star, Bob Harris (Murray), who goes to Japan to do some commercial ads and a girl, Charlotte (Johansson), who is there with her busy young husband who is also there on work. Both of them are bored and tired of their relationships for no apparent reason. The husband is always at work, trying to make a living, and Murray's woman is at home doing her best as a mother and a wife.
It seems clear to me that the plot and the story is written by someone that has not a deep life experience, but rather suits to a shallow personality who has led an easy life. It is clear how empty the plot is. There is too little dialogue in 1h and 40' of film. There is not a moment in this movie, that you can really identify with those shallow characters, which make no effort to recuperate their bonds with their partners, but they rather lie on the bed all the time, doing nothing but complaint about their lives.
The filming is quite good, and I would be a little suspicious about daddy Coppola giving a hand to the daughter. But it's quite pointless because the whole plot can not be saved by any good photography or montage tricks.
Another meaningless point is that the majority of the dialogues is in Japanese without any explanation or subtitles. Maybe because the dialogues between the two main characters are so shallow and empty that the rest of the movie should be filled with something. An easy way to do it, is fill it with Japanese that nobody understands.
This film is rated as Drama/Comedy/Romance. That needs a little commenting. Drama : There is not a single point in the movie where you can really feel the drama. What's so dramatic about two bored people who want to cheat on their partners? Unless they mean the drama of the protagonist's partners. They are the only people in the movie that do something useful and maybe the ones that you could feel sorry for. Comedy : There are attempts in the movie to make people laugh with low quality humor, like a Japanese guy in a funny suit, or a Japanese director who shouts. I mean, making fun of the Japanese is not what comedy is about I think. Not a single intelligent humorous line. Romance : Where? When? In the whole film they never have a really romantic moment. They are mostly separated, each one in his own room, doing nothing but laying on the bed getting bored and boring the viewers as well.
After one hour and forty minutes of a shallow, pointless, and boring story, comes the end. This is a significant point in the movie because here you can really see the weakness of the storyline and the emptiness of the plot. The film ends with Murray whispering something that the public can't hear in Charlotte's ear. She says ok, and the film ends with them separating but smiling. That means that you can end it! Sofia can't do it, so the public will. Everyone with his personal explanation so that we will have a chat about the movie afterwards. This ending could be genius in another movie, but in this one, it just is an easy trick, a `Deus Ex Machina' that would save the story.
In conclusion, I believe that this is a very shallow story about two bored and boring people who's lives are empty because they are empty. Excuse me for using these two words so much, but they can resume the movie quite well I think. Shallow and Boring.

I watched it with my 12 and 14 year old and paid a princely sum to watch it at the cinema.
There is something very wrong with DC.
It's really gone downhill since Suicide Squad.
Poor CGI, 80s plotting, 1 dimensional bad guys, no real sense of danger and terrible dialogue.
The thing is DC do have some interesting ideas to work with. A disparate bunch of anti heroes group together (Suicide Squad), a female superhero who completely takes the reins (Wonder Woman) and now a kid who becomes a superhero. The ideas are really interesting, it's in the execution of the ideas that it all fails.
All the recent scripts are the same really. All end up with this OTT (and yawn inducing) Big Boss fight off.
Shazam is fun in parts. The first act is really over drawn but things improve significantly once Shazam enters the frame. And that middle act is fun. Full of jokes and humour but then we get to the third act and it reverts to type.
That last act is cringe worthy (something my children told me). No real sense of peril or danger and the CGI doesn't help.
Honestly, not sure why people are posting 10s for this. It ain't The Godfather or Toy story. It's just another run of the mill 80s type plot with mediocre to poor CGI with some decent jokes.
Save your cinema ticket for something better and catch this on Tv whenever it comes out. You will thank me.
You could argue that it's just silly fun. Yes, if the film were just the middle act but unfortunately you have to sit through the final third for zero pay off.
For the time being, don't bother.

Barbie was one of the most anticipated films of the year 2023. Many people made fun of him believing that he would be lame, and other people believed that he could actually be very good because of the cast and direction. Is it rough? In a way yes. But it's deliberately lame, they're living puppets, it's obvious that this is lame. The big complaint about the film is about the critics, as many people found it exaggerated and indeed it is, but again, it's on purpose. The criticism works very well, the characters work, the universe built here is incredible. Visually it is one of the most beautiful films of the year, a world all pink could be very strange, but it turned out beautiful and very convincing. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are very good and manage to hold your attention, on the other hand, when they try to focus on other characters, the quality is not the same. Some characters don't work, particularly the businessmen who are featured in real life. Overall, this film is great and has earned its place among the best and most memorable films of 2023.

Very much over rated. Repetitive, tiring and inauthentic fight choreography for 3 hrs straight. Unnatural and generic one liner filled script. No deep drama whatsoever. Just bland, perpetual killings till one is numb. Awful and fake seeming blood effects. Bland, cliched action hero.
All these characterize John Wick 4. These movies keep getting shallower with every sequel. The little soul the first two had is dead and buried here. I don't get the hype. John Wick has become like those generic, action B movies with cliched scripts and characters. Not to forget the unlikable and uncharismatic addition, black guy with a dog. He was as dull as it gets.
Beautiful cinematography though. Loved some of the scenes except the CGI ones. A point for that I guess.

This show is very fun. It has a mystery quality to it, like something is lurking the whole time, and THATS the point. The people giving ONES (seriously, a 1?!) are simply upset that marvel isn't making a nonstop action flick YET AGAIN. Come on people. Be open to some fun and interesting concepts. Marvel is trying something new and exciting, and we should applaud it! Give the show a chance, don't listen to the hate. Watch for yourself.

I loved the other two films in this latest trilogy. This movie is just stupid. Like Endgame this movie demonstrates the MCU's inability to break free of the cookie cutter formula. After the ooh and aaah of the cameos, there really isn't much going on here.

Completely wrong facts. Akbar threatened to loot and plunder Jodha's city. Not only Akbar had threatened to loot the city , but just like Chittor he would allow his soldiers to rape the entire city for 30 days. To avoid that Jodha married Akbar to satisfy his lust. It was not a love story , it was "Sleeping with the Enemy."

I've not read the books, but played the Witcher 3 game. In that game I learned some of the context, setting and characters this show tries to depict. Even with that leg up, the show still kept losing me. Things are happening without any explanation to why. I recognized some names, but only because I had been exposed to the material earlier. I can't fathom how people who know nothing about this universe and setting can follow anything that is going on.
As for the acting, it's bland. The witcher actor delivers in my opinion a fairly faithful portrayal of the game-version of Geralt, but that's unfortunately the only one in the entire cast. What I particularly don't understand, and hasn't been explained at all in the two initial episodes I watched, is why there are so many non-slavic people in medieval eastern europe (poland area). I hope that will be explained, for story continuity reason. Further more perplexing is why some of the main characters are portrayed as non-slavic people. It makes no sense, since these people are related to other people who the show writers must then also change completely, such as A. Henrietta. If they change her, then they must change and explain her entire lineage...down the rabbit hole it goes. But nothing has been explained at all so far, so perhaps story telling isn't what this show aims to offer. If not a story, then what is this? A music video without music?
I see not a single element in this show resembling the witcher universe from the game I so enjoyed. I had hoped to be immersed into a dark, at times witty, and for me culturally exotic, slavic fantasy world with interesting characters and some kind of story arc. The unrelatable setting, poor casting, overall bad direction/acting, and lack of information establishing the fundamental rules governing this new universe, makes this show fail at delivering a believable or even enjoyable experience. Two episodes were enough. I'm out.

1. The moron who put in "music" noise blasting out the voices of the actors should be fired. 2. There was NO information about the date, the way that the British got into such a mess, why the Germans stopped to regroup, who was left manning the rear guard, why the British Navy and the RAF were such incompetents, the total number of soldiers lost and saved. In short, a very poorly story put together except for a few realistic scenes of men being lost to enemy attacks on their boats and ships.

Don't try and play a younger man when your clearly not able too! After the fight scene in the shop, it went off. I was embarrassed for him and I love him as an actor.

The God of High School is an interesting anime which you should not miss. It has everything; action, comedy, emotional, drama etc. It's story is good but also has a lot of potential to be one of the best animes of the year Characters are very much likable. Music and sound effects are good. Animation needs to be improved. They are not that much good.
Overall, I fell in love of this anime from the first episode and would recommend everyone to give it a try.

More likely backed-up by best-selling novel from John Green, "The Fault in Our Stars" is an honest yet faithful love story which containing some positive messages to inspire teenagers. The plot flows as a good drama should be, thanks to screenwriter Scott Neustadter and Michael H Weber who finely adapt John Green's genius idea into a soulful play and beautiful drama. The script for two central characters, Hazel Grace and Gus are well developed. It really shows how Hazel's feeling to Gus grows as much time they've spent together and how they need each other to live despite their imperfect conditions. Besides that, the movie seems taking advantages from Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort's chemistry who easily makes an adorable couple and put some sweet moments from it.
Unfortunately, "The Fault in Our Stars" isn't without it's faults. The other characters beside Hazel and Gus may only just supplement, seems unimportant and sometimes annoying like Van Houten character who looks stupid with his strange behavior and builds an awkward scene every time he appears. Also the film emphasizes more on meeting true love rather than people's attempt on surviving from cancer that makes it missing some points. Don't expect the drama would be as complex as "50/50" or "Dallas Buyers Club", because what "The Fault in Our Stars" offers is much focus on couple dating and having romantic dinner. "The Fault in Our Stars" is an average good and sweet drama supported by lovely performances from it's two impeccable stars. But nothing much you could get in it that makes this movie felt just enough on being okay.

The first fighting scene is so childish, and i am even not sure if i can call it action even
| 2 |
I thought the first half of the movie was hilarious and well done, but the last act of the movie is where it lost me. Instead of trying to communicate a message, it really felt like it was preaching way too much. Instead of showing, it tells you what to think in the last act of the movie.
The only thing it has going for it is the set desing, wardrobe and music.
Aside from tha the movie is plastic like the eponymous doll.
The characters have no plot development, literal cliches.
If you write characteres as abstractions , at least try to make into characters that are relatable to the viewer.
Do not waste your time with this movie.

In 1965, sci-fi series were still innocent. Sets were low cost, special effects were often corny, stories were unbelievable bordering on silly and acting was rarely top notch. The few exceptions we know... Twilight Zone, Star Trek... where Rod Sterling and Gene Roddenberry made sure their story telling reflected the human condition in fascinating locations, times and conditions. Fortunately many attempts to spin tales of space adventures are largely forgotten, and this reboot of Lost in Space using the original series character names but none of the charm and relationship building should end up on the trash heap of sci-fi history.
There are few redeeming values to this mess.
There is so much wrong with this series. I will just summarize. It is so politically correct with casting choices it hurts believability big time. Evil women and vacant-headed youth abound. Character writing is woefully lacking. Targeted at young women looking for role models as we negotiate the Wonder Woman, metoo era totally at the expense of good and believable sci-fi story telling. Male characters are childish or subservient to female characters who exhibit traitorous flaws or unrealistic physical prowess and astounding technical ability. At times the background music is reminiscent of the movie Alien or Jurrasic Park and other clasdic sci-fi and horror borrowed for effect. There is little originality of any kind here. This series is insulting to sci-fi audiences in 2018.
We are now in a golden age of quality television. The selection of great series of all genres especially from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, SyFy and others is astounding. The Expanse, Outlander, The Man in the High Castle to name only a few are exceptional examples of great writing, acting and story telling. There is little reason to spend our valuable free time on substandard productions like Lost in Space, sci-fi or not.

Iron man 1 was much better, although bad enough for itself. No thrills, but barely watchable blockbuster, even enjoyable sometimes, as you have to satisfy with that these days.
But this is totally useless sequel. Action is little and even those end quickly. Some are even unexploited enough like one in Monaco. Stark's main competitor is terrible to say the least. For the one bad ass weapon maker he is totally childish. Gwyneth is again total waste of movie tape in this movie and many other supporting roles. Director should have concentrated more on the relation between Ivan and Stark and should added more interaction between them for further story development. That would present much better watching experience.
Do not waste time watching this piece of bad movie making.

Being from Oklahoma, if you're going to produce movies/tv shows mentioning other states' cities, PLEASE FACT CHECK WITH LOCALS ON HIW TO SAY THE CITIES/TOWNS MENTIONED. The podcast lady mispronounced ChickashA with a long A is the town. She said ChickaSAW, which is a Native American tribe in south central Oklahoma. PLEASE FACT CHECK THESE THINGS BEFOREHAND!

This show is very entertaining and has a different style then most MCU properties. The Egyptian lore adds something fresh and exciting. The pilot for this show was probably the best that there has been so far in all MCU Disney plus show. Oscar Isaac's performance was brilliant and the rest of the cast was spot on as well. However after having seen the entire season I don't think all the elements were mixed together perfectly.
The finale feels way to rushed and should have been a lot longer. It could've easily been split into two much greater episodes but instead we got a relatively short one.
Despite the fact that Isaac has stated this would just be a one time thing I truly that we'll see Moon Knight and his personalities again sometime in the future. Also the post credit scene was an absolute 10/10.

Remove all famous actors Bring back the original feeling

Look, I can't hate on Disney for wanting to make money. If someone told me I could make hundreds of millions of dollars just by releasing something that's not original, I'm definitely doing it, but that doesn't change the fact that people will be dissatisfied. This is not the kind of movie you can remake. The lions look too real, and to hear voices coming out their mouths is just weird. It doesn't evoke the same emotion as the original. This classic was best left alone.

If ur over 13 this movie will most definitely bore you. The movie tried so hard to make a point yet still failed.
The cast was amazing but the plot didn't do much I see how the writers tried to make the movie show us the double standards when it comes to woman rights but honestly they did such a bad job at that. I really hoped this movie would actually be as meaningful as the writers intended it to be but it was just a very bad comedy.a very bad representation of woman and just overall a bad movie.
It could be fun for passing time and for girls night, but don't expect to be amazed by it.cause you will be disappointed.

Phenomenal acting and a lot of really good writing, but a reveal at the end of episode 2 sends the show careening off in a melodramatic, cliched, salacious direction that undermines the strong start established an episode 1 and most of episode 2. Hopefully they will dispense with the eye-rolling plot twist quickly and move on. We'll see.

Its good to see a change to the normal superhero saves the day story, a very binge worthy programme, eagerly waiting the next episode

If it wasn't the actors, i would stop watching it buy the minute 30! At that time i felt this one wouldn't get me no where, and it didn't. It was supposed to be a drama??? I wished they all died just to see some action and stop earing that clocking music over and over and over again! So, if you are looking for a Sci-fi, this is not appropriate. If you are looking for a thriller...LOL. If you are looking for a drama, then watch it! At the end, you see you'll have your own drama because you've watched for an eternal 100mn! This movie should be classified as a fictional documentary that has no start and no ending. This is all some mixing rubbish about the press and a deadly disease! If you like to stare at your plain bedroom's walls in the dark of the night for about 2 hours, then this movie is excellent to you, otherwise skip it. Unfortanetly i had my vaccine! Rated 2 stars just for the actors (not even the acting)!

There are very few movies that make you wait for their day of release just like a torn lover waits for its lost love for that one last glance and Dev.D was certainly one of them. I just knew I had to watch it the moment I saw breathtaking visuals(The snorricam shots inspired from classics like Requiem for a Dream, Trainspotting) in the trailer itself. The fact that the movie was directed by Mr. Maverick (of new age Indian cinema) got me even more excited. So now when I have seen the movie I am ecstatic because I got more than what I expected.
This movie is all about your sense of perception of art. If you find charm in innovative screenplay, extraordinary photography, symbolic scenes and realistic acting you got to love this cinematic masterpiece and if you have a thing for colors, its an icing on the cake! But if you want to see an entertainer which is going to generate temporary emotions, unfortunately, its not for you. All those who find the story unrealistic must understand it is not the portrayal of what happens in love but the most beautiful depiction of what is going through one's mind when one gets/doesn't get love. So, either you will crave for the movie to go on till forever or wait for it to end.
Of course, the story line is based on the original Devdas but this contemporary version has its own twists and turns and you better not expect the expected. Abhay Deol is absolutely fantastic.There is not a single scene where one can doubt the authenticity of the character he is playing. Both the new actresses are equally good. Mahie Gill deserves all the applause for doing many a tough scenes with calming ease and expression that can light a fire. Kalki's eyes never lose the innocence in the truest sense thanks to the beautiful portrayal even though her character transcends into one of the highest zones of maturity.
I just fell in love with the movie and wanted to see more of the unpredictable series of events through extraordinary musical narration.The only thing which I missed in Dev.D was a bit of soul but that is exactly how it was meant to be.

Some people does not understand the porpouse of the first episodes, and thats sad because this tv series is a beutiful homenage to the television history, sadly, the last 2 episodes feels like a generic superhero movie.

One of the best dark comedy film since Super Deluxe. It's so properly structured (script-wise) and the mythological allusions give it a make-believe feel. Anurag Basu is hands-down a genius in the way he's made all the actors act so well. Abhishek was so amazing and so were the rest of the cast. Your heart goes out to all the characters in film, especially Aditya and Rajkumar's characters and needless to say one can't stop themselves ever from simping over Pankaj Tripathi.

Red Sparrow is a cold war spy drama, based on a novel which I wasn't aware of until after watching. The storyline hooked me and I was anticipating the ending however the ending itself I found was a little disappointing, couldn't quite work out if the 'twist' at the end was overly complicated or too predictable but it left me somewhat underwhelmed.
The scenery is fantastic throughout the film and there are a great number of genuinely tense action moments which are gritty but for me were really entertaining, I think these are 2 of the best things the film offers. The story builds up very well too and I was really looking forward to an ending which didn't quite deliver.
Schoenearts delivered in his role as the devilish Uncle recruiting his niece for the state. Lawrence did just fine in her role in my view, she was plotting her and her mothers survival after her ballet career was ended abruptly, there were some similar traits with her hunger games role but I thought it was played appropriately (after getting over her Russian accent). A highlight for me was her talking to her uncle after being interrogated by the state. Not sure Lawrence and Edgerton had the greatest of chemistry and there was one sex scene that I thought was incredibly flat. Also the hitman named Matorin was in most of my favourite scenes and was a terrifying presence in the few moments he appeared, definitely deserves a mention.
To summarise there is a lot of good in this movie and for me it's a very interesting storyline for the most part. There are a number of action scenes to keep you entertained and even at well over 2 hours I felt the movie was paced fine. I wouldn't say the acting in this movie was outstanding but the movie is about spies who are expected to stay cool under pressure so for me it's no issue. If you like the sound of a brutal gritty spy drama then you can expect to be reasonably satisfied.

Barbie is a movie that you start laughing of the critics that are put in such an intelligent way (you have to think fast between laughs), amazed by the idea of a perfect world and suddenly they start to go in your feelings and bring out so many realizations about yourself with funny dialogs. We never goin to forget what it is see Margot and Ryan such an incredible performance the way them put so many emotions and still keep that doll mindset is brilliant and for Greta all my reverence it's breathtaking think that she decided to go up front with such strong movie and we didn't expect anything different from her. Oscar winners here we go.

If you have Insomnia, start watching this movie around 10-11pm at night and you will wake up the next morning cured.... I know Scorcese has done several lengthy films throughout his career but 3 and a half hours is PURE OVERKILL.... Scorcese has given us a movie that moves at a snails pace and uses alot of the same old actors he's worked with so many times in the past. there was almost a point where I felt like i was watching a sequel to Casino.
Scorcese is losing the plot in his old age, he's trying to stay afloat and compete with the likes of Spielberg but his direction just isn't what it used to be. Don't expect a great film here, expect an extremely, long, dull, boring, drawn out plot.

No love to feel here tonight! I just found this a hard watch. I'll start with a positive, it is visually brilliant and having James Earl Jones was a nice touch. It's so down hill from then. Firstly the songs just don't have the emotion you get from the original. The voices do not work with the characters, it really was poor casting. There is no comedic moments, everything Timon & Pumbaa provided before. Just go and watch the original, enjoy it again and again, don't let yourself be tainted by this poor attempt.

The first season of this show was amazing. A world of vampires and witches with the most beautiful Teresa Palmer in the main role, and she does it well. Like other amazing performances she has done in the past, namely warm bodies and letter to the King. It did keep me in waiting for season 2, but it was also one of the biggest dissapointments I have seen in a show. Season 2 felt like one of the worst shows ever, and frankly made me uncomfortable and a ashamed to watch. I do believe Theresa Palmer deserves more, but at the same time looking at her real life choices her success is no longer part of my concern, but I would be happy to see a new protect coming from her but better options do exist almost anywhere you would look for season 2 and beyond of this show.

After watching Loki I was not sure why it recieved so much hype. In my opinion the show was bang average. Don't get me wrong it had some funny moments, especially towards the end of the show. But the show is real mess. Nothing about this show really stands out to me a being "great" as some people are suggesting. I believe that people's love of the character of Loki is blinding a lot of people when it comes to reviewing the show, it's good but certainly not great.

After reading up on the initial reviews before it premiered and watching the trailers, I expected a great movie. What I saw was a movie with a very interesting concept but for some reason there was a lot of action that was totally irrelevant for the story. I was mostly irritated about all the shooting and action since it did nothing but prolong the movie. In the end the movie has an interesting concept that gets mixed in with James Bond and all other action movies you can think of and it just feels like a total waste of time to go see this film. It is neither a good action movie nor a movie with a believable story. The movie just is not interesting and it does not feel unique.
Go see something else!

Keanu, gotta love him but the movie is very poor..
Good effects, editing, fighting etc but the story and overall premise to the movie is just so poor. Predicted everything that happened in the movie, the story has been told a million times and the outcome is the exact same.
The only good thing about this movie is the small role that William Dafoe plays..
Nice to see you're getting back in the game Keanu, keep up with the martial arts stuff, but please.. the plot is important too..
So disappointed especially considering the rating..
Sigh

This is the best comedy I have seen after 'What About Bob'. I was laughing so loud that at one point I thought I was going to die. My wife came running from the kitchen to see what had happened to me.
Vinay Pathak did a wonderful job as innocent, good-hearted singer who is invited by Mr Goshal to make fun of him. Instead, his own fun is made by divine intervention.
They say God takes care of the innocent ones. Same thing happens with Mr Pathak here.
A must see movie if you are a lover of comedy movies. This movie contains no songs, no ishq-vishq, no villains, no action scenes and no special effects but still this movie is better than all those movies that contain all that. The movie runs only hour and a half. It's quick to the point comedy.

Typical modern Hollywood Mess. This show tries so hard to be cool it wreaks of desperation. The show moves along in a clunky manner and the acting is stiff as a corpse. Try as they may to improve on the original Addams Family, they flunk out on every subject. The casting is hit and miss with Wednesday and Morticia being hits and the rest misses.
I just don't understand why this awful mess is getting any positive reviews, but it seems that these days people rate everything as a 10. Reviewers seem to forget that there really has not been that many true 10's in film, so why would this rate a 10?? Curious why it rates as perfect? It is quite laughable. Anyway, this show is just plain boring and awful.

I have to say i was not that excited for this show as i was for wandavision but after finishing both shows i realised that this show not oy good but is passes wndavision in many ways This show has great charecter development Sebastian stan's acting was really good.
The story was releated more to the real life problmes wich u can conect more easely and it has a great ending not like wandavisoin wich i thought would be better Really recomen it.

Edit: season 4 was really great and it seems the Duffer brothers DID step it up and pulled out their magic which is great to see!
This is my first review because I really needed to say something for this once great series. Don't get me wrong, I loved seasons 1 and 2 but season 3 is something else.
I think what happened is that the shows creators ran out of ideas or got new writers. Everything feels forced and cliché. The acting is still great but the characters are put into environments where they don't fit or they have already tried it on and there's no reason for them to try it on again. The show feels like it lost it's soul due to the cost of charm and comedy.
The plot runs thin and is super watered down and dialogue is mostly cringe (the Coke product placement is...ugh). There are too many side plots and the characters don't feel like the characters much. I knew immediately from the first episode that something was off, it was too much of teen romance and relationships. Hopper's character did a complete 360. I get that they grew up/ moved on/ changed but something still feels weird.
The ending was a bit emotional but I still don't get the generic Russians plot, it wasn't anything original.
Overall, it feels like I'm watching a low budget comedy/thriller monster movie which is a parody of the show with decent acting and I am so disappointed. I really hope the Duffer brothers step it up and pull out their magic in season 4 because I know that magic from season 1 is somewhere in there.

This movie is a correct example of how to waste time of a viewer. You are blowing up am entire city and ising milotary personnel for no reason in the movie just to show high level action sequences. Nothing logical in the movie. An idiot would like the movie for sure.
I wanted to watch this movie just because of Pankaj Tripathi, and guess what he is just there for a 2 min shot.

Thought the first episode was hilariously bad. Watched more for a giggle and it got me hooked. Very cliché but evolving into downright interesting. A pinch of salt required.

I think it's just an ordinary Animated Series. Animation was okay but could have been a little better. It's an average Story, although the story had some logic flaws in some places. 7/10.

A very original screenplay that manages to wrap some hefty topics like death, race, coming out, parent child relationship, intimacy in under 2 hours, and does it in a way that feels real, authentic and not rushed. This great story is further augmented by amazing acting from the cast, particularly Jeffrey Wright, who plays a seemingly uptight and stoic character but delivers a wide range of emotions underneath the surface as the character rides a roller coaster of life events that unfold over a short period of time. It's not often to see movies that set out to explore serious subjects while still managing to make audience "feel good".

The usually wonderful Chris Pine was wasted, and I fell asleep!

After watching Stargirl and Warrior Nun I have to say that by comparison to those two, Umbrella Academy is a masterpiece. It really isnt a masterpiece but it is darn good and surprisingly, I thought season 2 was better than season 1. Sure it gets repetitive at times, but the dialog is good, acting is very good overall, and I like how it doesnt take itself too seriously and even pokes fun of itself.
Basically what you have in this show is a dysfunctional super human family that was raised by a sort of sociopath (or so it seems so far). The story is literally them saving the world in both season 1 and 2 and each time, the end of the world is brought about by them to begin with so its really a story about them stopping themselves. Time travel does play a part so yea, there are plenty of plot holes but at the same time, the show doesnt take itself all that seriously so it can get away with it.
Give this one a shot. Its pretty good especially compared to other drivel being passed off as superhero TV these days.

AOT did one of the best flashback episodes I've ever seen. It fleshed out the story in a meaningful way that wasn't just filler. I was engaged the whole episode and even sad when it ended. They're really going all out this season.

Have you run out of ideas? Really????? &so I can't believe how one of the best movies ended up playing a mockery! So I've been waiting for it with my breath and I can say it's a big disappointment.
