I think the movie is more like a comedy. The people commenting like i laughed and I cried probably have got a very low IQ . Good movie 6,5

Was confusing, story bounced around a bit, but the acting and underlying story was excellent, watch it twice, it may make more sense

Not gonna lie, this show was very good over all, the humour was good, the little bit of action it had was good, the characters were good for the most part, and everything played out well. Before MCU phase 4, Loki really felt like a side character and did not have alot to him. But Loki tv series just added way more than that.
Throughout the series we got to understand Loki way way better. What different emotions he felt, his mentality and his life. S1 and S2 were really great, but the biggest masterpiece was S2 EP6. The whole episode felt like a movie, and it was one of the closest thing to perfection. The rest of the series was also good and I could really feel the emotions the series gave me. The ending really left me overhyped, AND MY GOD, i have to say that was one of the best tv show finales ever even if it was just a seasonal finale.
I gave it 9 stars overall because I think there are just some bad aspects in the series but 9 stars is 9 stars.

Hannibal that stars Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen and Laurence Fishburne in the lead acting roles - is a intense dark thriller that keeps the viewer nailed to the seat, puzzled and bedazzled by the beautiful and gory scenes. The British actor Hugh Dancy does a wonderful job playing the FBI criminal profiler in this new series, that you could call a mixture of a intellectual thriller and gore. His (Hugh Dancy) darker side makes him stand more out, than the typical lead actor, that is as thick as creme and poses every 2 second front of the camera - usually leads to horrible acting! Laurence Fishburne also plays the FBI case leader in the series and it is good to see him in quality show since the Matrix movies.
if Hannibal the series continues in the same dark intense passage it will have plenty of fans amongst the persons who likes a dark intellectual crime story/Kevin Dasman - Freelance reviewer

The show started out not really knowing what it was, the fight scenes were average at best, the acting was corny and the plots were boring to say the least and the show over all felt very campy. I stuck with it though mostly because I was holding on to the slightest glimmer of hope that this might be rectified (which never happens). To my great surprise however, that's exactly what happened, the show started to find some real direction. the actors started to properly portray there characters and the directors decided to rid the show of the campy feel they originally went for. It gave some awesome insight in the second half of the first season to what was happening behind the scenes of shield in winter soldier and finished the fist season on a pretty high note. When the second season began, the show had really found its stride and really began to show some real depth in the characters. I can't really say too much more without spoiling it but if you're someone who tried to watch it and gave up a few episodes in, or if you heard a lot of bad things and could never bring yourself to check it out, I can not stress enough that you really have to give this show a second chance. If you're a fan of the MCU as a whole then I think you'll be glad you did.

Stay away. Don't turn off your brain to enjoy a mocie you don't have to just because Michael Bay did in every movie he makes, and the editing OMG it's so choppy and disconected you'd think it was edited in Saudi Arabia.

I don't understand the love for this series unless you like cocky smart-mouth teens and dull dialogue. At least the zombies move fast which is a great improvement over the zombies in the walking dead franchise. This show doesn't have anything original to offer but there's some nice shots of Bragg creek in and around Calgary Alberta. Maybe the kid is just too annoying for me but I don't like her character much so that just makes this series difficult to watch. This is especially straining because there's really very few actors in this series to watch. It's so slow like a high school play production with 10 players. Not recommended.

The only character I began to like after the fifth episode was then suddenly aged 15 years forward and turned into another actor. It's hard to even see one good thing about this show now . With Game of Thrones as a precedent how have They managed to lose everything good that that had ?
Not sure I can even watch another episode of this now it's too painful !
Wow so I need to leave a longer review, 200 more words. Considering this series is quite dull it's a bit of a pain to leave a longer review, am I right ?? If you have watched the first couple of episodes and think it's average then I doubt it will get any better for you !

The movie is bad, jokes are bad, acting it's bad I don't know man, after first time I saw Black Panther on screen I was waiting for a solo movie with this guy but they just ruined it...

Worst tv should ever. I mean for god sake wtf is this. Nonsense scenes , the cringiest comedy in the mcu so far. This show could have been the best comic book show but it became the worst.

I'm impressed. Not just with the action and stuff but the political message, too. I am really glad they're keeping Cap true to his character. All the characters seem to be their own selves rather than turning into a background ensemble. I like. Also: I was not really a fan of the Winter Soldier character before, but NOW he reminds me strongly of the protagonist of my Punch series (both the Winter Soldier, who is referred to as Manchurian Candidate at one point in this movie, and the protagonist of my Punch series are based on Cold War era fears about North Korean mind control experiments on American POWs. This is a topic dear to my heart because of my father's service in that war.)

Well the two comedy kings have shown their power. Every scene is dramatic, mysterious and funny . Selena is back in her best . She is as good as Sherlock Holmes.

So anticlimactic. Not enough horror. Was only concerned once for character survival

Series about american people in soviet decorations. Great filmed, very good Chernobyl decorations, and lots of absolutely idiotic propaganda. The only plus I see - is that people, interested in Chernobyl tragedy history thanks to this series maybe will go further, and learn more about it from documental sources and real videos about great heroic and intelligent people(including most of management), real specialists and fans of their job. This tv series tells part of true about events and technical reasons of tradegy, and absolutely lies about all involved people. You can say that my words are not supported by arguments, but it's too mutch lie in this creation to describe it here. Who wants can find all on internet.

I really enjoy Baz's other films, Strictly Ballroom being my favorite, because of the music. This one had good points, but the way it was done...the first 30-45 minutes seemed wasted on one big party that felt like a drunken fest. That may have been the intent, but I found it boring waiting for the story to start. The music choices didn't fit the times and really felt out of place instead of adding to the show. They were very distracting. It's fun to try new things, but in this case it didn't work. The visuals were rich, the cast great (though by the end Toby's narration was both droll and his voice annoying). If the music were better it's one of those things that could have changed everything, but between trying to find the story past all the alcohol and trying to enjoy/feel the show but getting pulled out by the music, I just couldn't love this one. I've enjoyed Baz's other movies so much that yeah, I really was disappointed by this one. Better luck next time.

IMDB really needs to work on their audience review system. All the bad reviews are only for 1 episode and not the entire series. You can't judge an entire show on its first epiosde.
While Ep 1 wasn't great, the rest are a huge improvement. Intriguing stories and, surprisingly, the humor lands more than you'd think. Decent voice acting and it really helps that most of characters are voiced by their live-action actors.
Overall, don't trust 90% of the bad reviews because they are only rating the first or second episode. Instead, trust the reviews judging the entire series.
The series as a whole isn't terrible. I was hoping for better but ultimately I'm okay with what we got. The epsidoes range from really good to pretty bad but they're enjoyable regardless.

Trash movie for kids,doctor strange one was way better .

I am a fan of Apatow films I have to say this was, "an instant classic." I really enjoyed 40 Year Old Virgin and Superbad, but I probably won't watch Knocked Up again. If not for a somewhat unoriginal plot, this would be the best Apatow film in my humble opinion. This movie was very funny. The script was sharp and witty. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is very similar to Ben Stiller romantic comedies, but has a better supporting cast and better writing than some of Stiller's films (Along Came Polly, Heartbreak Kid). I will definitely see this again.

Quickie Review:
Four words – Best Marvel movie yet. That's a bold claim to make, but one I stand by. In this second stand-alone appearance of Captain America, we see him struggling to come to terms with the changed perspective of the modern world on freedom and security. CA:WS takes more of a spy thriller approach to the story, which ends up being very entertaining to watch unfold. This is the most bad-ass version of Cap we have ever seen, and he encounters an equally intimidating villain called the Winter Soldier. A must-watch movie with great action, characters, and story. What more can one ask for? Do yourself a favor and go watch it as soon as possible.
Full Review:
Time to defend my bold claim.
Captain America: Winter Soldier, is directed by the Russo bros. (Anthony & Joe) who are mostly known for directing TV shows. Considering this is their first big-budget movie, they absolutely did an incredible job. I like how they made this movie feel more like a spy thriller than the generic, campy comic-book action. The story is very well paced and I enjoyed watching every minute of the mystery and conspiracy unfold in front of me. Despite being a blockbuster movie, I was surprised to see it go deeper than the usual popcorn flick by touching upon some relevant social issues. That's not the focus of course, but it is nice to see the directors take a serious approach, yet still manage to keep it fun and engaging.
Credit has to be given to Chris Evans playing Captain America. I always liked Cap the most of all the Avengers heroes, because of how honest and incorruptible the character is. Evans continues to play him brilliantly, but in this movie we also get to see his full fighting capability. This truly is the most skilled and powerful Cap we have ever seen. The action choreography is amazing. You feel every punch he throws and you will always be on the edge of your seat. Speaking of throwing, we see some of the most creative and impactive use of the shield so far. The main villain of this movie is Winter Soldier and he was excellent. He is definitely the most intimidating villain we have seen in the Marvel movies. Every encounter between him and Cap is exhilarating to watch, especially the climax where you really feel the gravity of their struggle. There is honestly no weak link in the casting at all. Even the newcomers to this franchise such as Robert Redford and Anthony Mackie made a dent in memorable performances.
After watching the CA:WS I just can't deny the fact that I haven't enjoyed a Marvel movie this much since Avengers, which many, including myself consider to be the best one (till now of course). CA:WS is all the more impressive bearing in mind that it was able to deliver the same amount of enjoyment without the spectacle of all the Avengers teaming up together. That is why I have to single it out to be the best Marvel movie yet. This is a must-see. I just can't stress that enough!
REMINDER: There is a mid-credits and an end-credits scene, so do not leave after the movie ends. I see people make this mistake, so make sure you are not one of them. Enjoy!

This show has an intriguing premise, solid acting, decent cgi for a tv show and is well written for the most part. I'm kind of baffled by the casting of the lead character however, she's not on the level of the other actors here. She delivers all of her lines in a flat, monotone voice and her facial expressions range from bored to mildly annoyed. I actually looked her up because I thought maybe she didn't speak English as a first language and was just repeating the lines phonetically, but no, apparently she is fluent in English. I've never seen her in anything else so I don't know if it was just a weird acting choice for this role or if she's just not very good but having her as the lead definitely hurt the show. Still worth watching though.

Initially I avoided this film because the trailer just didn't do anything for me, and Daniel's Craig Deep South accent generally puts me off any film it appears in. But I was convinced by positive reviews from friends, yep I'm looking at you Dave!
Wealthy patriarch of the Thrombey family - Harlan (Christopher Plummer) commits suicide and his dysfunctional and money hungry family come a calling. The police have to make sure the cause of death was suicide and then things get a bit back stabby and mystery based. Well, you actually find out what happened to Harlan about halfway through the film but the rest is the real mystery part.
If Carlsberg did film casts, then this would be right up there. I could go on and on about how great this cast is and it is, Christopher Plummer, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette and Riki Lindhome are as always superb, I mean that is a dream team of actors and actresses right there. But I wanted to focus on just a couple of members of the cast. First up, Captain America himself Chris Evans, after the Avengers, this is his first big film outside of the universe, it is nice to see him playing a more complex and less heroic character and much as I loved him as Cap, I'm looking forward to seeing him spread his acting wings now. Then you have Daniel Craig and his accent and you know what I was able to ignore it and focus on a great performance, he plays a detective who at first seems a bit out of place but soon develops into Columbo/Quincy/Poirot and Miss Marple all in one package. His revel at the end is in the best detective tradition. We also have Ana de Armas as Marta, Harlan's nurse and the true star of this star-studded film. A Cuban actress who though appearing in quite a few films, this is the first time she's really taken centre stage. She's great in this role as someone trying to do what's right in a really mucked up situation whilst being played by everyone around her. And finally, Katherine Langford as one of the younger Thrombey's and Marta's friend who is torn between friendship and family, a real case of nature vs nurture - she and miss de Armas should both be stars of the future.
I went into this film with quite low expectations and was very happily surprised, there are a few twists and turns and to be fair they're quite easy to spot a mile off. If you don't know who the baddie of this film is straight away then you need to watch more films! But is well-written with some fantastic ideas and an interesting path to get to the conclusion. It is sharp and witty and Chris Evans single handily has revived the chunky knit wear industry. The cast is stellar and Rian Johnson holds it all together with superbly, not a surprise as he wrote it as well. Each cast member on the poster deserves 1 point, Mr Johnson 2(1 for writing and 1 for directing) and because I was wrong, Mr Craig's accent can get a point and finally Dave earns the film another point by convincing me to give it ago. So, 15/20 for a film I had no interest in. Nice one murderous type peeps! I'm off to buy a White Cable Knit Sweater.

Just watch the first 2 seasons. Some might argue only season 1 is necessary, but I think season 2 gives context to the backstory of the show. These two seasons cover all the important issues and provide an incredibly gripping and emotional story. Seasons 3 and 4 were. . . just absolutely terrible and unwatchable. I made it all the way through season 3, but I only made it through 7 episodes of season 4 before I decided to stop and just read about the ending. The overall story that was written in these last two seasons is just trash. The characters become extremely unlikable, and the story is so boring and irrelevant.

Bad story great actors and very good scenes . Has to be more comprehensive story

The movie was a huge eye opener even those I knew from what I have read from fanfiction or random site that is it a horrible way to live as a slave, they were treated so bad by the slave owners. The movie tried to put as many trues stuff as possible and I know some people can't handle horrible things that happen in movie as they can in a book, the movie was 90% true and 10% not. Even then it is true with some of it not true like I said before, the movie was hard to watch due to some scenes, but it is a good movie. This movie has shown us what is it like in the past and how they were treated by people that has no respect for human life.

It had some really cheesy parts in the script. Ended poorly, was built up to be amazing, it wasn't. It had some great jump scares though. Go in to the film with no expectations on cameos, you will be disappointed.

Who on earth decided to take one of the most powerful tracks out and replace it with a Beyoncé warbling something completely different? It absolutely ruined it for me. The entire film did not have the same ooomph throughout, especially the opening scene, although admittedly it was visually beautiful. The visuals are stunning and the script is almost the same as the original which is good. But i feel let down. It's good but I feel disappointed. I expected magic.

I could have never expected Tobey Maguire to look so good as Spiderman. Truth is, this film excels over it's predecessor in everything-more spectacular, more talented, better story-lined. Dr Octopus-good choice for a villain. But whatever happened to good old Venom, huh? Or Carnage? When will we see one of them in a Spiderman movie? Seriously, though, Spiderman 2 is a good one. Seen it in the cinema? Still good enough to spend your money on. Action, a bit of romance, a wee bit of drama, heck, it's like real life, only able to climb walls and spin webs. The creators of the comic have nothing to worry about. Definitely advisable-watch it.

I think agent Coulsen walks funny.After watching the First three episodes it looks like a poor copy of Eurika and the Fringe merged together.I also think the acting is poor and the cast seems to be trying too hard to be convincing.The story lines of the series do not seem to be coherent.Episode two for example.I do not get why the lady was fighting against shield.There seems to be no proper plot.No mention of Hydra so far.Kind of disappointing.Not enough depth in the characters nor the villains.Too much dialog and very little action,too many illogical twists.All in all I think they should veer towards the original comic story which is HYDRA and SHIELD and stop trying too hard to steer away from the comics.

Okay...I guess that's the review, just, okay. Without IMAX, it would have fallen below my score of 6/10. I saw this movie on 7/24/2017, in an IMAX theater. While the screen and sound were amazing, the movie itself suffered from character development, or the lack thereof. I also think this movie was barely PG13, ranging closer to PG, which a serious war movie should be rated R, in my opinion. I honestly don't know how this movie is getting 8's, 9's, and 10's---it just isn't that great. Without giving anything away, you basically only connect with one character, and you still learn nothing about him.
What this movie needed:
-Character development -Tighter plot -In sync, instead of out of sync storytelling -And women who helped in the war effort
If you see this movie, sit close to the screen (IMAX does make the flight scenes awesome), and bring food; no use you being hungry and bored.

There's something about watching screen time on a screen that makes one nauseous. The hooked on screen time "hook" has been done before so nothing new except this was more excessive. Even the screen saver got it's movie screen time. The writers/director hit all the techie computer/phone hooks possible e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, map searching/directions, goog (including image) searches, media such as TMZ, altered ID, altered personal/account info. My buggy eyes turned to the ff savior to get past as much as possible and save sanity. Anyway, there's a feel good twisty at the end to bring it all (and not believably) full circle. Acting weak, dialogue dumb.

This film is nominated for 9 Oscars.
The acting and in particular the dialog , many times throughout the film is like taken from a theatric play. The actors want to look like they care about what they are saying , but it doesn't quite work in the end , mainly because of the dialog itself , but it might also give the impression that the actors aren't doing a good job.
Apart from this dialog handicap , the acting from the protagonists is decent , but nothing exceptional and worthy of noticing.
Maybe Michael Fassbender has the best performance here in my opinion.
The story moves too quickly , that it also seems forced. We move rapidly from the point of our hero's normal living , to his capture and slavery , and in the end his freedom. All is quick.
Also there aren't any originalities here. Brad Pitt comes out of nowhere , leaves out of nowhere. In a way , all the characters , the plot , and finally the whole movie , just passes by without great notice. So i guess it is a weak movie.
" Blue is the warmest color " doesn't even get one Oscar nomination , and this gets 9 nominations.
I give it a 7 , maybe because i've been brainwashed and even so far as that , i feel like i am going against the current , breaking the rules or something. Maybe it should get a 5 or a 6. I don't know

The best thing about this movie is two rocks on an alien planet falling off a cliff. I'm not kidding! While Hollywood congratulated itself with a bunch of Oscars, the rest of us are scratching our heads trying to figure out what producers were thinking. The film wanted to convey messages about family, love, hardship, duty, and regret. But all the preaching was lost in frantic scene shifting. Even the funny Hollywood veteran, Jamie Lee Curtis couldn't save this outer space shipwreck. Hollywood wants to be relevant and hip. But this two hours-plus waste of outer space is Nothing Nowhere and Once is Too Much.

I'm surprised Ryan Reynolds actually took this role. Either he is so full of himself, or his agent hates him.
According to the end of deadpool, he hated that he did Green Lantern...which was actually better than this pile of junk.
Aside from that, it did have a few silly haha moments in it from Ryan Reynolds silly deadpool style pop-shot jokes. However, it is by no means as funny as everyone else makes it out to be.
After reading the other reviews, I went into this expecting to laugh myself stupid. Well...I do feel more stupid after watching this movie, but it's certainly not from laughing myself that way.
If I actually quoted the politically correct stuff they say in this movie. The review will get deleted, that should tell you just how volatile it is. It is so bad it ruins the whole movie.
Hollywood seems to think it's their job to program everyone to belive all these silly politically correct beliefs. If I did not agree with it beforehand, then watching a 2 bit silly movie sure is not going to sway my belief...just saying.

Very surprising storyline. I love how it kept me wondering what was going on in season 1. The main character, Nadia, leads a life so unlike my own, that it seems bizarre most of the time (which only adds to the atmosphere of the series), yet I was able to identify with her and her line of thought. Her counterpart, Alan, is the exact opposite of Nadia and the two of them for together perfectly. I was really impressed by the script, the characters, the acting and the special effects (especially in season 2).
When season 2 came out, I was sceptic, but it's even better than the first. Needed a few episodes to get used to the changed theme, though. It's also a treat to see the historical scenes with all the details (architecture, clothing, attitudes, music, technology appropriate for the given time).
All on all, a recommendable and memorable series.

The movie is bad. Period. Definitely not worth a watch. The rating of over 7 must have been bought.

Season 1 was great. Season 2 started great but now I want to slay the writers. As the shows progess the writing gets sloppier and vastly more annoying. Doctor Smith is the literal worst character I've ever seen. The mom only marginally better. There are holes with occasional plots, weak and mildly rage inducing. S02E01 I'd have said 8 out of 10, at episode 5 and I'm thinking 5/10. Likely end at a 3 at this rate.

This is great to pass time between the old and new phases for marvel but plot was predictable and boring. The "villain" didn't really feel like one and there wasn't much backstory to anything. The main heroes/protagonists - falcon, Bucky, Sharon - were developed well through the series so it's nice to set the stage for the next phase but nothing exciting. Loved the action though.
Also the rest of the comments about race just shows prejudice from the commenters. It's good that marvel highlighted race as one of the topics but overall as a series it was lackluster.

Self-indulgent crap-fest. What a waste of time, money and talent (except for the costumes which were ok).
I like Brad but that was certainly not an award-winning performance.
I can only surmise that it got 10 Oscar nods because of the heavy-hitters involved.
Too bad.

No spoliers! This is really a truly comparable to international dramas like Breaking Bad, Narcos, etc but for the first time aimed directly for Indian audience with Brilliant acting from Nawaz, Radhika apte and most surprisingly Saif ali khan! The trailer looked interesting but the content bypassed it in everyway possible. The story is captivating and leaves you thinking till the end. The dialogues are really powerful especially from Nawaz. And the series does not scare from speaking things that traditional indian serials will think a million times before speaking. Truly a remarkable piece of noir by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane. Looking forward for an another great season.

It is a more or less interesting story, but the main character is really annoying and overwhelming. As a physicist it's always interesting to see how authors try to explain their time travel solution with present research. But in this anime there is simply nothing explained or based on physics. They didn't even try to use the right terms. Thus I think it is the most uncreative solution I have ever seen.
Furthermore it contains to much product placement for me.

Very cliché and predictable, nothing new, it's a shame because it had good actors in it. No chemistry between main actors, disappointed.

This movie is a story of kidnapping and after that the whole story depends to rescue the kidnapped child with all of the efforts involving english speaking and urdu, hindi or bangla speaking countries. The kidnappers of their own homeland wants the child to be dead but the foreigners step in and rescue the child and return to their family risking their own lives and teammates. Even after rescuing the child they didn't get the claimed money but the rescuers made their mind to return the child safely to it's country. Action, Thriller and Suspense are the main themes of this movie which you will never want to miss.

7 sounds like a joke. This movie was Rated by cast and crew ?

If you like that sort of thing and you like shows about super heroes getting bank loans and fixing boats this is right up your alley. Enjoy!
I gave it 3 stars because I still like the characters and they are helping bring up the score. Even though the story is boring.

Jon Bernthal really play good as Frank Castle. The way he show anger, brutality, heartless, and caring to the people he cares a lot. I think he's the best cast for Frank Castle for now. Also, all the storyline and all characters' building, so good..

I think the last significant movie I saw that featured Daniel Day-Lewis in a significant role was "Gangs of New York." I was reminded of that movie somewhat. My reaction to "Gangs" was that it was dreadfully dull, although it did have a smattering of action here and there and at least I could see by the end that there was a point to the whole thing. Its high rating notwithstanding, I have to pin "There Will Be Blood" with the same dreadfully dull tag. The difference between this and "Gangs" is that there was precious little action to be found here, long stretches of nothingness (about ten minutes passes by at the start of the movie with no dialogue at all) and in the end I really couldn't see what the point of this was. Some parts of this movie are well done. The portrayal of the Old West was totally believable, the look at early oil drilling was interesting, the performances from Day-Lewis as silver miner turned oilman Daniel Plainview and Paul Dano as the charismatic preacher Eli Sunday were good and the final confrontation between Plainview and his "son" (Russell Harvard) was very emotional. Overall, though, to me the story didn't seem to flow all that well. It just completely failed to capture my attention, and trying to keep focused on a movie that is just plain uninteresting for two and a half hours is excruciating. For whatever reason I also found the musical score by Jonny Greenwood to be at times inappropriate in that it often just didn't seem to fit the mood of what I was seeing on the screen. Clearly I'm in the minority on this, but I just didn't find this to be a good movie at all, and I frankly can't go any higher than a 2/10 for it.

In the first 20 minutes of the film, I was already beginning to wonder why I had purchased tickets. The main character was a terrible human being. A Womanizing, spoilt playboy who manufactures weapons of mass destruction. What a hero? There are no real likable characters in the entire film. The storyline is dragged out and uneventful. The action barely worth the film roll it's printed on. There is a naively racist vibe running throughout. With the 'hero' only realizing making weapons may be a bad idea, once he witnesses Americians dying by his creations. As if the countless innocents of less fortunate countries being murdered beforehand weren't worth his thought.
It was like watching old cartoons that are so racist, they don't even know it. The film was mildly entertaining, however the characters all being terrible people took away from the fun of Iron Man. There weren't enough scenes of Iron Man doing great deeds, to classify him as a hero. His actions seemed selfishly motivated, and egotistical.
The only stand out in the film was the suit.

Easily one of their best much films ever super impressive.

Sam Raimi's 'Spiderman' was my all-time favorite superhero movie, so I have waiting this sequel so eagerly. Thankfully, Spiderman 2 is better than I was expecting. Most impressive thing is the action sequence between Spiderman and Doc Ock. It's really well scripted and pure adrenalin pumping experience. Special effects was pretty good and Alfred Molina and Tobey Maguire gave huge energy into CGI Character. Sometimes melodrama between MJ and Peter Parker was pointless and repetitive, but most of drama part was fairly good in this type of film. I think Alfred Molina (Doc Ock) is the best villain ever in comic book adaptation (except Willem Dafoe) and rest of casting was great. Unlike the first movie it has a little scary moments - it's Sam Raimi's gift- and Danny Elfman's music changed the mood very effectively. Overall "Spiderman 2" is a great film in all directions and I think 'Spiderman 2' is gonna be the best box-office this year. If you enjoyed the first film, go to multiplex it's worth your time and money.

This is one of the most quirky, zany and outlandish comedy series on television. All politically correct topics are fair game. Excellent direction, writing, soundtrack and acting. The entire cast are comedic geniouses with Bateman standing out. His subtle and sly delivery of wise cracks is pure hilarity. Ron Howard's narrative only adds to the perfection of this series. The plot revolves around the middle son of an eccentric wealthy family whose former patriarch has been sent to prison for white collar crime. The son's role is to keep the family together and out of trouble while trying to save the family's business and what's left of their wealth. The subplots include all the insane situations the family members get into and the middle son trying to be a role model for his son while diffusing all the craziness surrounding him which is created by his family. The show is clever, witty, unique and a one of a kind laugh riot. I hope Netflix continues to carry this show and create masterful comedy. The difficulty is trying to make all of the now stars available at the same time to shoot a season. We'll see if they can pull it off. Its one of the best shows in it's genre.

Must watch movie, after a long time in pandemic , great to see a movie with good acting and plot without any overacting masala. Characters came alive due to the great performance by the actors. Starcast+action+acting+love=all in 1 movie, sorry to give 1 star less as you can't watch with parents Thanks Anurag and team for giving such awesome movie

I love the Batman saga, read the comic books growing up and especially have been pleased with all of the newer batman movies. In this one, the director was far too in love with his work. While the movie had a few good moments, most were drawn out and if 30-45 minutes were carefully cut, it might have been the great movie that it deserved to be.
I felt that the Catwoman character was great and actually all of the characters were pretty well done, there was just way too much time spent on special effects and not enough on the real meat of the story. After about an hour, I was fighting to stay awake. Having fewer story lines might have helped also.
I am sure that there are some that loved this movie, but if they took the time to actually think about it they would realize that this was just one loooong special effect.

She is descibed as pale with red head, with actual freckles. This is such a wasted opportunity to be PC. Yen was disappointing, but triss is jus such a let down.

The worst thing you can do is to compare GoT and the witcher. They both are fantasy show but they are very much their own shows. Watch it with an open mind, because this a start of something great and something we can look forward to for years to come. amazing storyline, brilliant acting. The action, the monsters, the witches and the Hunter....!

I don't know how but I almost slept during the movie. I saw it, read some reviews and until now I don't know what was the plot!! Yes it's a real story but there are a million better real life events that you could have chosen to write about. I'm very disappointed.

Good Movie But Not In Comparison with Big Hero 6 . All things are not explained properly otherwise it will be 10 from my side many unimaginable things like tessaract in one room which is connected to big black hole and in tessaract there is infinite time or no time boundation and he can jump to any point in the past this is ridiculous , this is expensive one and surely one time watch but there is lot of waste of expenditure on this movie unlike gravity it is not up to the limits many things can't be happened which is shown in this movie . Movies should be like that audience must keep an enthusiasm to watch movie but any simple person who doesn't know scientific terms or knowledge about this field can't be able to understand the movie I bet that every person who watched this can't understand the movie but since all are appreciating it so they are also saying it's good just like herds of cattle .

The show goes through its plot and character work at such a quick speed that the weight of a lot of moments don't feel as heavy as they should or could. It's also structured very strangely for seemingly no reason and the strange editing choices don't help in any way. Although I will say it's still worth a watch for the fantastic fantasy elements on display. From the monsters to the magic and the epic battles. It delivers. Does it come close to game of thrones? In terms of fantasy entertainment? I can't say. They're both extremely different. In terms of effects and action scenes. It definitely comes close. In terms of characters, emotions, and intrigue. Nowhere near.

Some of the humour lands but it's the same humour in every other marvel film. The characters are really annoying and the acting sucks. The story is run of the mill with whiny victim stereotype kids everywhere. The bad guy, the good guy, the sidekicks ect...
The pros- Annoying redhead lady gets disintegrated from the get go.
That's it.

8.4 is way too high for this show. Really, think a little, you're giving a 9 or a 10 to this show? Most of the time is watching a bleach hair dude crying all the time saying "Mikey-kun"... Come on. Sure, it's not a bad show, I watched the whole season, the story is fine, but I started watching this because of the high rating, I thought it would be on the same level of other recent quality shows, but it's not even close... For example, the anime "For your eternity" is much better than this one, but almost no one talks about it.

Does anybody share my view that none of the characters in The Umbrella Academy is attractive at all. Indeed they are quite annoying to me to an certain extent, especially Vanea. If I were to choose the favourite character, I might pick Number 5 or Hazel. Quite surprised I am managed to finish this season anyhow. Guess the plot itself is interesting maybe the reason.
| 7 |
I'm not sure what some people expect, but this is definitely not a movie for the faint hearted. It's not a Disney movie or anything that resembles The Hunger Games which has a higher rating. But I've seen much more violent movies than this one (try watching 120 day of Sodome, I dare you).

I just started to watch it, and it's a very charming series. I love the humour and style. Story is great, and it really just feels like home to watch Steve Martin and Martin Short doing comedy together.

I could seriously listen to these guys shoot the breeze for hours on end and never get bored. Their accents are just so captivating, and they're always so darn cheerful, it's infectious. But let me tell you, this movie? Total riot. The Coen brothers really nailed it with their quirky sense of humor, always poking fun at anything remotely serious.
Seriously though, the skill behind this film is off the charts. The writing and directing are spot-on, the cinematography by Deakins is absolutely breathtaking, the acting is top-notch, and don't even get me started on the killer soundtrack. Speaking of which, let's talk about the music because, man, it's another highlight for me.
Carter Burwell's score is something else. Not only is it just plain beautiful to listen to, but it adds this whole other layer to the story's sarcastic vibe. It's like the music is in on the joke, mirroring the characters' messed up lives with its haunting melodies. But amidst all the darkness, there's Marge, shining like a beacon of goodness, brilliantly portrayed by Frances McDormand.
And let's talk about those winter scenes - Deakins really outdid himself capturing that desolate landscape. It's like the perfect backdrop for the characters' flat lives, highlighting the irony and humor of it all. We're all secretly rooting for Marge and eagerly waiting for her to become a mom, hoping her kid takes after her and not Norm.

Well At first it was a little weird with all timelines, but after few episodes all explain. Love the show and waiting to season 2!

Many people mentioned that the plot was lacking. Perhaps it wasn't strong, but it was certainly enough to make it a good movie. Chris Hemsworth nails the character, and the action scenes. There where a few action scenes shot very well and overall doesn't drag. I rated it a 7, because it was a bit predictable. It's certainly a rainy day, quarantine worthy watch.

Remember my "Spider-Man" review? Where I said that I was an enormous fan of the character but that the film wasn't exactly a "great" superhero flick? While I said "Spider-Man" was a really good but not quite great superhero movie, "Spider-Man 2" I think is easily, without a doubt, the best superhero movie ever made. Yes, even after all the MCU movies and "The Dark Knight" Trilogy, I STILL believe this is the best superhero movie of all time. Its style, its pacing, its action, its emotion, its intelligence, its effects, its characters, its fight scenes. I could watch this movie a million times and not get tired of it. It's everything the first "Spider-Man" film should have been and for my money the gold standard for the superhero movie genre.
I love the idea of a superhero film examining just how hard it is to be a superhero; taking a look at the toll it takes on your life and just how much you have to sacrifice. "Spider-Man 2" demonstrates that perfectly. Peter Parker sacrifices any chance at true happiness he has and puts nearly everything at risk simply to protect the city and it's people. Even after he momentarily stops being Spider-Man, he still sacrifices one of the few things he still has, his trust with Aunt May, in one of the most emotional scenes ever in a comic book movie. In fact, all of these characters seem to go through some harsh hardships throughout the movie; Mary Jane is getting married despite conflicting feelings about Peter, Harry Osborne is dealing with insecurities about not living up to his father as well as having to weigh his relationship with his father with his friendship with Peter, even Otto Octavius spends the entire movie chasing an impossible dream, largely in compensation for his wife's death. All of these characters arcs are told wonderfully and I found all of them compelling and incredibly investing.
Remember how I said the romance in "Spider-Man" completely failed and almost sunk the entire movie? Not at all the case here. We see much more of Peter and Mary Jane as friends, we see them really interact beyond just being lovers and really examine and reexamine the roles they have in each others lives, we see them truly support each other in very hard times and put each other before themselves. These were things we never saw in the original "Spider-Man", but we see them here. On top of that, Kristen Dunst actually does an excellent job here now that she's given an actual CHARACTER to play, and we're rooting for her to find happiness and stability in her life just as much as we are Peter.
Speaking of Peter, Tobey Maguire completely dominates in this film. He truly manages to make Peter Parker a sympathetic and likable character here, and there are multiple scenes where he just oozes emotion. He has the awkward and dorky charm of the original, but he adds far more emotional weight and tragedy to his performance here than in the first movie.
Speaking of improved performances, James Franco does phenomenal work here. Like Peter and Mary Jane, he struggles and he often makes the wrong decisions, but you can tell this is more out of confusion and indecisiveness than any ill intent. Like Maguire, he brings far more emotional weight to his role in this movie than it's predecessor, and it's a better film for it.
Alfred Molina as Dr. Octopus may be the best villain I have ever seen in a comic book movie, he's in the top 3 no doubt. I've always been a fan of Dr. Octopus as a character since reading the comics, but I gotta say, Raimi's Dr. Octopus may be better than anything I have read in any of the "Spider-Man" comics. Molina together with a phenomenal script by Alvin Sargent turns Otto Octavius into one of the most sympathetic villains I've ever seen. The loss of his wife, his reputation and essentially any hope of a normal life leave Doc Ock to grasp desperately to the only thing that still matters to him anymore; finishing his fusion reactor. He is as much driven by regret and hopelessness as he is by passion, and Molina is great at depicting the good Doctor's sorrow, fear and brokenness. Also, kudos to the effects team on Dr Octopus's arms. The mix of CGI and animatronics on them were detailed, realistic and scary as Hell.
The style of the movie is perfect. Sam Raimi made a name for himself as a Horror movie director, and with a villain like Dr. Octopus, that style works surprisingly well. One of my favorite scenes in the movie involves Octavius's mechanical arms killing multiple doctors trying to saw them off while he is unconscious, and it truly feels like something straight out of one of his "Evil Dead" movies. It's intentional homage and it works perfectly. With that being said, the lighthearted and funny moments work just as well, what with J.J Jameson putting on Spider-Man's abandoned costume and masquerading in it around his cubicle or even charming little moments like Spider-Man shouting puns at Dr. Octopus during a bank robbery. The blend of both the dark and light aspects of Spider-Man make the film truly feel like the ultimate Spider-Man cinematic experience.
The train fight scene is easily the best fight I've seen in a superhero flick, and it's doubtful it will ever be beat. The choreography and just the unique style of the fight fit Spider-Man and Dr. Octopus perfectly and it's just oozing with excitement.
I could go on about this movie forever. It's just so GREAT. It had great heart, it had great style, it had a great story, it had great characters, it had great action, it had great effects...It's the best damn superhero movie ever. Period.

Without doubt, it is a great movie, most of the reviewers and critiques praised this movie that's why I would not like to repeat the sametings.. But.. delevering the letter is the main event of this movie, unfortunately there are a huge mistake that director didn't pay attention to it.. I won't mention it here for two reasons; first to not spoil, and the second is, I want anyone else to watch it carefully and mention it.

This series is so well done in so many ways, some worth mentioning is -The visually effects is really well done! -The audio and then soundtracks is well thought out and put in the series in perfekt moments. -The world building is spot on, the world comes Alive, everything from posters, character, newsfeeds, even ordinary stuffs like toys and buggning flys.
The series is visually and audio way a pleasure to watch But The best part of it is The take on superheroes! We have gotten alot of the superheroes genre in latest But The Boys gives an uniqe touch on it, the collatraldamge, the gore, the bakside of the fame and we get to se The moneymaking industrial behind them.
Last But not least, the casting is super and The acotrs have done an amazing job!
A real superheroes series whit The upsides and downsides of being an superheroes, whit The enemys and The fans that comes whit it, aswell The spoofs on The american style gives alot of comedy.

I can only classify this film as a missed opportunity. While it did have a good storyline, worthy of a film noir, and some very good performances, especially by William H. Macy (you can almost see him crumbling under the weight of not just his crimes, but his cover-ups as well), it is tainted by the Coen brothers' directorial style. What made it intolerable for me was the amount of "quirkiness" that was injected into every single character, scene, and situation. Taken alone, each little quirk is not a big deal, but after so many of them, one after another, it just gets too much to stomach.
Some examples...
The title: The movie takes place mostly in Minneapolis (which isn't quirky enough -- that's where the Mary Tyler Moore Show took place, after all), and Brainerd (and nobody would go see a movie called "Brainerd"). About 5 minutes of screen time were set in Fargo, and Fargo has a quirky-enough sound.
"True" story: Just because a story is true, does that make it a better story? There is both good and bad fiction and non-fiction. So, what is gained by lying about whether a story is true or not? Quirkiness! See, if you believe this story is true, then all this quirkiness must be true too!
Names: Character names were given as Grimsrud, Lundegaard, Showalter and Gunderson. Apparently, Scandinavian-sounding names (especially with a double-a) are much quirkier than Pryce, Lopez, Rossi and Sheppard.
The weather: The snow and the cold serve no purpose but to make the characters put on parkas and snow boots, which make them look quirky. For instance, when the policeman was talking with the man shoveling his driveway, and had to put his hood up so far you couldn't see his face. Quirky! However, anyone who lives in a cold climate knows that when the sky is that grey and the snow is as wet as the stuff he was shoveling, it isn't all that cold...
Accents: Whether or not people actually talk "like that", what's the point of everyone talking like some country bumpkin, even the ones in the fairly large city of Minneapolis? Accents: quirky. No accents: not quirky.
Pregnancy: Apart from making the lead character wobble when she walked, and to give her a convenient excuse to throw up every once in a while, what exactly was the point of making the police chief pregnant? Ah yes, another quirk.
The old friend: A cop meeting an old high school flame at a bar. Sounds kinda dull, right? Well, let's quirk it up a bit. Make the cop a woman -- no, wait: a pregnant woman. Make the guy Oriental. Make it totally unnecessary to the plot. Now we're talkin' quirky!
By the time we get to the end, we're almost surprised that Macy's character sold plain old GM cars instead of Austin Minis or VW Beetles. The whole thing feels like the directors had no confidence in the subject matter, so they slathered on layer after layer of quirks in the hope the audience wouldn't notice.
In the end, it just becomes an exercise in frustration, as a movie that had everything going for it just turns you off after one wink and a poke in the ribs too many.

As a fan of Sci Fi films over the years Interstellar was different as a movie. On one hand it dealt with some serious issues of environment changes and its adverse effects on future of human race and on the other hand it dealt with Science,Space and Human Spirit.I felt the tone of the movie and its spirit was more close to Kubick's 2001 A Space Oddessy.In fact I remember Jodie Foster's Contact also dealt with the concept of traversing through a wormhole but Interstellar was more technical with some serious science involved which although makes the film more interesting but for an average viewer it may be a bit boring.The first halve I believe was overstretched and was boring at times.The thrill quotient was totally missing in the first halve and was far and wide in second.People who are expecting it to be like Gravity in terms of pure Adventure and Thrill may be a little disappointed.

I am amazed! Simply amazed.
Amazed at the change Bollywood is going through. After almost a decade long stint of ultra-idiotic movies galore, Bollywood is coming to sense! Or rather, the new movie-makers are trying to defy the convention. Whatever the reason, this change is sweet.
NH10 is not only a story of a journey gone wrong, but a very realistic portrayal of social evils which happen in the Indian society and where the check is not governed by law, as the people of law also come from the same ranks.
The more amazing part was how the movie showed that not only men, but women too are responsible for those regressive social evils, and how the women dictate that mindset to the younger generation.
The movie is intense as well as fast-paced. You'll be pleasantly amazed at the number of songs filmed upon the 'hero' and the 'heroine' - ZERO. The direction is flawless, as the whole setup gets to you and makes yourself a part of it; all terrifying and frustrating and mind- numbing. Neil Bhoopalam does an awesome job as the big-city guy with an idealistic view.
But the praises go to Anushka Sharma. She is as good as an actor gets with the role of a modern girl who carries the trepidation of an unwanted event, the disgust for unjust mindset and people, and the bravery of a woman.
I am contented with the way women have started being represented in Bollywood movies and how Bollywood is shedding its skin of stereotyping women with second-rate roles, molestation and objectification.
Loved the movie. Do not watch it for the 'Falana out of 5' stars. Watch it for the change. If we are not going to change our viewership choices, we have no right to blame Bollywood for producing idiotic movies.
P.S - Dear Censor Board members and especially Mr Pehlaaj Nihlani,
Muting a 'Hindi gaali' and cutting scenes from a movie which portrays a much more heinous side of the society we are living in is so hilarious, I could just spit on you while laughing. Banning 'cuss words' in a movie such as this has only ridiculed the heart of the movie and reduced its impact.
The 'thoo' of hypocrisy is on you.

Season 1 was ok. Season 2 was great but Season 3 was nothing but horrible and a boring waste of time full of plot holes with an even worse ending. Disappointing.

And a good different, of course. Even by MARVEL's standard, this is so new of an experiment.
Not sure if I've grown old or dried my share of unbelievable-fiction to enjoy and be fascinated by it anymore.
A little underwhelming experience at the end though. Nonetheless, it's a well made movie. Successfully does what it intends to (it seems). Question being if it is for you or not.
But the Black Mirror direction MARVEL is talking, I'm quite uncertain if I could hit the road with it.

WandaVision was such an amazing show to watch from beginning to end. This is also a good start to the new phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
WIthout context or knowing what the show was about, each episode raises questions as to how Wanda and Vision are inside this TV sitcom world. Not knowing what was going on brought out so many chilling mystery vibes to the story,
Wanda & Vision's romantic relationship is heavily explored and continues from Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.
One important reminder to note is about forming theories in this show. Early viewers formulated a lot of theories that don't end up coming true at the end of the show. For instances, some characters the show thinks they're hinting appearances for don't actually show up at all.
So reminder, don't get your hopes up and don't have any high expectations for crazy superhero suprises.

This film feels like one of the best crime novel-based films ever made.
The 2 protagonists based crime investigation drama in Tamil films is rarely made and the twists & turns in the film are so engaging with a back plot for every character and made in a not-so-boring way is really intriguing to watch.
The unfolding of every single scene from the start to the end of the film with a nicely designed characterisation makes this film a must-watch for all crime moviegoers.
After a long time, Sarath Kumar has done a role that showcases how good a senior actor he is.
Overall, this film is a bliss to watch, if you like watching crime investigation thrillers.

I had hopes this would live up to the very excellent first game, but this falls a bit shy of slightly disappointing second game so far.
Normally I would withhold judgement till later as things can improve over time, but unfortunately the flaws of this show are rather baked in as actors are either good or poor, they don't tend to improve overnight.
Pedro Pascal is normally serviceable but this just isn't the role for him. At no point does he ever feel like Joel who had a quiet masculine and paternal nature. Pedro just feels scruffy. Bella is actually doing a fairly good job with her role, but simply looks nothing like her. I haven't seen casting this bad since Tom Cruise was cast as Jack Reacher.
No one else left a positive or negative impression on me but one thing has to be said.
If you haven't played the games you'll likely enjoy this more than someone who has as the "swapping" of actors for those of different backgrounds is a bit jarring and heavy handed. Normally I don't give a flip, but it's hard to ignore that the "bad guys" belong to the majority demo and the "good guys" are everyone else (Bella being the only exception but of course she's female).
It really takes you out of the fantasy when you can tell who's going to be bad just by their skin tone. The real world isn't like this and I wish Hollywood would get with the times.

The much-awaited Ashutosh Gowariker film 'Swades' has finally released. Has Ashutosh delivered what he was expected to after 'Lagaan'? Then, the answer is YES. Though the film again revolves around a village, this time its Charanpur instead of Champaner. A modern setting, depicting the brain drain in India, the film addresses issues like electricity, education and poverty.
It looks at all these things in a very interesting story. Kudos to Ashutosh, as he has incorporated light moments in the film, without making a serious arty kind of an issue- based film. The issues are looked at in a micro perspective.

The Silver Linings Playbook movie follows a formula, with each character following the same basic development.
Step 1: Characters are neurotic and annoying, creating tension and wearing out the viewer. Step 2: Characters experience an empowering and revealing moment of vulnerability, bringing sympathy to the viewer. Step 3: Characters are supportive and no longer annoying, bringing relief to the viewer.
Every character follows the same routine. It's way too formulaic and gimmicky. The topic of mental illness and the dancing motif also smell like Oscar bait.

I probably had too high expectations after seeing Keanu but I did not laugh much at this (low-budget?) sketch comedy show.
| 2 |
I originally passed on this show due to the lukewarm reviews from critics but, after seeing all the raves on this site, I decided to give it a shot. My opinion probably falls somewhere in the middle. I found the show cute and likable, but I'm not sure I actually ever laughed out loud to be honest. Overall, it's the kind of show that's good to have on in the background while you're folding laundry, but not the type of show that I'd go out of my way to see. The highlight was probably James Marsden playing a version of himself that manages to straddle the line between "out of touch celebrity" and charming goofball.

Season 1: Amazon Original: We have successfully ruined a good story by casting one of the lead characters (Hughie) who looks like he was pooping a brick and it stuck..

As a fervent fan eagerly awaiting the sixth season of Black Mirror on Netflix, I had high hopes for another mind-bending and thought-provoking journey into the world of twisted technology. However, my experience left me with mixed feelings. While there was one standout episode titled "Joan is Awful" that showcased brilliant performances by Selma and Annie, the remaining episodes fell short of expectations. I found them to be boring, slow-paced, and with underwhelming plots.
The season had its moments of brilliance, particularly with the exceptional performances by Selma and Annie in "Joan is Awful." However, the overall lackluster episodes prevented the season from reaching its full potential.
Taking my overall viewing experience into account, I would give the entire sixth season of Black Mirror a rating of 5 out of 10. While it had its highlights, the season as a whole failed to deliver the same level of captivating storytelling that fans have come to expect.
It's important to remember that personal opinions may differ, and while I may have found some episodes lacking, others might have resonated with different viewers. Although I was disappointed with this particular season, I remain hopeful that future installments of Black Mirror will recapture the brilliance that made the series so popular.

I admit, I did not see this movie before I bought it as DVD. I love Jennifer Lawrence movies, after her "Hunger-Games" trilogy was done, I looked forward to her next title. This movie was not what I expected. I thought it would be more of a female "Jason Bourne" type movie, with Jennifer as the spy, kicking-ass. But I was a bit disappointed. It was a blatant sexual depiction of mostly 'females' being trained to use their SEX as a ploy to extract information from men. There were men also, being trained in the art of sexual seduction, but I was disturbed be Jennifer's portrayal of the Red Sparrow. I wish I would have gone to the movie first, I probably would not have bought the DVD.

Doll or not, prequel, sequel, requel, dequel whatever, nobody cares anymore ! It is as boring as the Paranormal Activity movies and equally annoying. The characters are all as flat as ever. I'm expecting next time : Annabelle v. Predator/Aliens (it might be entertaining!).

So season 1 was definitely a 10. Hands down...great stuff. Season 2 suffered a bit from 1 but still pretty good. Solid 8. Season 3? A 2 or 3 star at best. This review has nothing to do with the actors. They are all great. The story and writing has gotten terrible. I shudder to think how bad season 4 will be...

Oh boy. Another cookie-cutter horror from the producers behind The Conjuring, Annabelle and The Nun franchises. A bunch of greedy people without any pride in their work coughing up another movie without any kind of originality, just to squeeze another drop of blood out of the stones that are these franchises. I gave it a 4 purely for the good production value.

Junto de esquadrão suicida e capitã marvel, esse filme é um dos piores que já vi inspirado em quadrinhos.
O filme é basicamente um monte de cena tosca e com humor pastelão, uma em sequência da outra; Tem trechos que da vontade de esconder a cara de tanta vergonha alheia.

Sorry but this is like the best Indian film i have ever seen. It has Shahrukh Khan which makes it great and also a fantastic storyline and great action. This movie had everything. Action,romance,comedy etc. Zayed khan looked really cool in this movie and Amrita Rao played her part well. SHAHRUKH was obviously the best and after him definitely Zayed Khan who was great dressed as a "Hippie". You could talk about this film forever. I know I'm just writing a comment about it now and it did come out in 2004 but this movie deserves it. It was the greatest movie ever i believe of 2004. I know some may say Veer-zaara was but I still believe this was the best for youngsters as it had more action and comedy and quickpace rather than Veer-Zaara. Farah khan had a knack for making great movies. This new Happy New Year of hers sounds really good too. And I hope it will be another one like Main Hoon Na

This is a feast. The actors, the costumes, the locations.... Teresa Palmer and Matthew Goode are perfect as Diana and Matthew. Their chemistry is lovely to watch. I have loved every episode.

This movie starts VERY slow and violently and I was going to bail on it.
I didn't and now I'm glad I stuck it out. It's a great heartwarming story of man's interaction with wolves which led to the dogs. You'll cry.
Yes, there are some things that need to be overlooked -- like everybody wearing modern parkas made to look prehistoric, but they look more Saks 5th Avenue, however if you can suspend your disbelief you'll be infor a wild ride.

The story was not very interesting but the film itself was so slow and dull that I felt like I could complete a world tour and still be left with incomplete Guru. I rented the movie on a 3 day hire and I couldn't watch all of it at once. I've seen 1 hour on the first day, the second hour on the second day and the final half an hour on the third day so basically it took me 3 days to watch an 2 and a half hour movie phew! It should have been cut down to 30 minutes but it still would have been long. Personally I don't mind how long a film is, as long if it's watch able e.g. Salaam-e-Ishq was 3.5 hours and I seen the whole movie in one go and I really liked it. I just don't know how the audience managed to watch all of it in the cinema hall and it is the filmmaker's luck that Guru is a hit. The only good scene is Mallika Sherawat's cameo and the songs are also good but they didn't make the film any better so my advice would be to watch up to the song Maya Maya. Overall I think that Guru is specifically made for old people and youngsters should avoid it.

The show is a delight to watch and contains themes of comedy and mystery. The acting by all the characters, especially the main characters, helps to execute the plot in a phenomenal way. All in all, this show is definitely a must watch!

Bob Harris (Bill Murray) is a faded movie star who is in Japan promoting whiskey - he is just about recognisable enough to gain this endorsement. He has a troubled home-life with a wife who seems to both harass and undermine him constantly. Staying in the same hotel is Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), a young married woman who is in Japan with her photographer husband John (Giovanni Ribisi). Charlotte feels neglected and unloved and when her husband goes away for a few days she spends a lot of her time with Bob and it turns out that they both aren't so different...
Many of the problems with this film are confined to the first half of the film where proceedings are drawn out painfully slowly; clearly this approach has been employed as a way of developing Bob and Charlotte as people and to show their own personal struggles, but to be perfectly honest I didn't find either of their characters or individual story arcs to be all that interesting. The second half of the film is much better when Bob and Charlotte begin communicating with each other and hanging out together - there is a genuine warm bond between the pair and it is quite touching watching them on screen together; I could genuinely see that there was some chemistry there and I felt that there was an attraction between them in an unconventional sense.
Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray were both good here and their wonderful and natural chemistry together does go a long way in making many of the scenes where they appear together to be rather enjoyable.
One thing I will applaud Coppola on is that she does do a good job in developing Bob and Charlotte's friendship and rather than cheapening the film by showing the pair lusting after each other we're given reasons to believe why they may be drawn to each other. I think their similar personality traits are what draw them to one another more than anything else which does make their relationship slightly more involving.
Lost in Translation unevenness is what lets it down slightly and whilst it undeniably has its strengths and moments some of the dull spots it encounters here and there prevent it from being as great as all of the hype suggests it is.

Christopher Nolan's DUNNKIRK is a war movie par excellence. It is raw, with a simple premise, no exposition needed. The story unfolds entirely through action, similar to movies such as MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. There is little dialogue, but the true nature of each character reveals itself through his (all major protagonists are male) actions.
I appreciate Hollywood making movies like this. Its attempt to depict war in as distilled a form as possible, is a welcome change from the romantic-action- comedy-superhero miscellany we so often see these days. DUNNKIRK is very much "old cinema". There's a sense of purity, with a minimalistic score, an emphasis on practical effects, and lots of wide shots and landscape shots that take their time.
That said, whether you ultimately like DUNNKIRK or not depends on whether you like war movies or not. And whether you can endure the intensity... and the deafening loudness of this movie. I have two problems with DUNNKIRK, and although both minor in themselves, together they spoiled my experience:
First, the sound design is jarring irritating. Yes, director Nolan likes to emphasize environmental sounds and have his actors mumble through muffled masks. But the ratio of vocal amplitude to the amplitude of war sounds (particularly gun shots) is simply off. Nolan has a thing for deafening gun shots, and this time they almost made me want to leave the theatre to protect my hearing. While the difficulty of hearing voices compared to the loudness of the environmental sounds may give the movie a sense of authenticity, it also means that there's extra cognitive effort in trying to understand what people are saying. Nolan, don't make your audience work so hard! And please don't give us tinnitus!
Second (and this one is perhaps more of a personal matter), Nolan should really try once and for all not to actively impress us. His style of cinema so desperately wants to instil awe in you, every image cries out 'do you notice how epic this is?' In recent years, Nolan has one made one great epic after another. And yes, his movies are truly impressive, but I would like to see how he would deal with something more small-scale and subtle.
DUNNKIRK is definitely a must-see, if only to be able to talk about it. But be prepared to be actually thrown into the trenches (or beaches) of war, which may not be the feeling you seek in cinema, especially if you can't deal with noise so well.
