I was a banker for 40 years. I got my start in San Francisco during the heyday of the 1970s when guys with Beatle haircuts and plaid suits tried to upend the finance industry.
Out of that group came Apple, the Home Shopping Networks, etc., and the seed capital and business practices for what is now the Silicon Valley. What also came out was lots of bankruptcies, shareholder lawsuits, and corporate money spent on drugs, sex and rock and roll.
Elizabeth Holmes didn't surprise me. She wasn't much different than those 1970s bankers in plaid three piece suites and Beatles hair cuts. She had the same arrogant attitude, the same way of talking around a problem rather than answering a question and the same failure to appreciate the idea that most people earn their livings by working for them. Privileged. White, Young,
In this series, Seyfried captures the attitude, the creepy lack of self awareness, the naked ambition and the voice. She shows us that the facade without a person inside. She plays the role as If it were written for her, and reveals acting ability I have never seen in her.
The other cast members are good (especially Bill Macy) but it's hard to divert our eyes from the train wreck of a character Seyfried makes of Holmes. And she does a really good job of it.
See it for her acting, but you might enjoy it more if you know the story,

When a group of kids get together under the thumb of the rather odious "Hayley" (Zoe Terakes) they are presented with a ceramic hand - that apparently encases a real one - that acts as a portal to a dimension in which live the dead. They have discovered that no harm can be done if they stick to a time limit, exceed that - and well they are in virgin and potentially perilous territory. Following on from her best friend "Jade" (Alexandra Jensen) who has a go, it falls to "Mia" (Sophie Wilde) and after the most bizarre of personally traumatic connections, she is soon addicted to the experience and is also soon providing a conduit that is causing havoc within their group - not least for poor young "Riley" (Joe Bird) who ends up needing danger money - and a soft play area! Wilde does quite well here and though the rest of the acting isn't really up to much, the story has an originality to it that genuinely creates a new avenue for a genre that has been really suffering from same old, same old storytelling of late. Bird is by far the star here - even if he is incapacitated for much of it, and the aforementioned Terakes creates a character I'd cheerfully throttle. There's too much dialogue and it's very very score-heavy which did annoy after a while, but it's at times quite scary and definitely worth a watch around Halloween on the telly.

They totally failed to represent Dhaka. Some of shots from Bangladesh and everything is misguided. I think there are some of indians with these Movie team , who represent India Not Dhaka or Bangladesh. Totally Disappointed.

A veritable laugh fest! Proof that the Russians did hack the election. That's the last time I let the girlfriend pick a film. I longed for the cast of Red Dawn to enter the picture and put the cast and the audience out of our misery. Wolverines!!!

The Lion King (2019) remake fails to capture the essence and emotional depth that made the original film a timeless classic. While visually impressive with its hyper-realistic CGI animals and breathtaking landscapes, the film falls short in evoking the same sense of wonder and connection. The lack of expressive character animations robs the film of the vibrant personalities and emotional range that made the animated counterparts so endearing. Additionally, the decision to replicate the original almost shot-for-shot hampers the remake's ability to stand on its own and offer fresh perspectives. While it may have commercial success, The Lion King (2019) remake fails to ignite the same magic and emotional resonance as its predecessor, leaving audiences longing for the genuine heart and soul of the original.

Disappointing. It's not awful, and has its good points, but it borrows heavily off all the hundreds of zombie films / series that have come before and offers nothing new.
I made it through to three episodes but won't be watching anymore, especially as episode three was terrible.
Good points are the acting, and thought the first episode was a decent starting point, but it soon became formulaic. I really don't care what happens to the characters going forwards, which is obviously a key consideration of whether the series will be good or not.
It's fair to say I'm not the biggest fan of zombie stories anyway, as to me they're all the same with the exception of the brilliant 28 Days Later, but even so I think this is just boring and unimaginative.

How do you improve a show that has a clever plot, limitless story possibilities and two amazing A-list actors? You hire a bunch of bad, uncharismatic D-list actors and make the story about them instead.
This time rather than actually assassinating Loki to replace him, we got the "Luke Skywalker" treatment of character assassination. Loki's powers, charisma, wit, clever manipulation of others, personal goals and willingness to sacrifice anything to achieve those goals are gone. He now acts as though he has amnesia and has no idea who he is.
Loki is endlessly humiliated, becomes subordinate to a fake new Loki for no reason, acts the fool and literally tells us how amazing fake Loki is.
This is a necessary step to prop up the fake Loki to be superior to real Loki in all areas. Thus justifying fake Loki being the protagonist of the show.
Since the show writers lack the talent to create a genuinely superior character that would challenge, out smart, out maneuver the clever Loki we know. The only solution for this forced protagonist swap is to make real Loki a bumbling fool of a side kick, that has no desires or plans of his own.
As you would expect with bad writing, the show delivers majority of plot and character development by telling not showing. Show is plagued with endless scenes of people sitting and talking occasionally interrupted by walking and talking.
The cast of the new D-list nobodies deliver a distractingly poor performance. While the real talent of Hiddleston and Owens is wasted playing badly written, dumb characters who are irrelevant to the plot.
In contrast the show shines briefly during Richard E. Grant cameo, he totally stole the show. Showing what a good actor can deliver when allowed.
Rating: 2 stars for squandering the show's potential, bad writing, bait and switch marketing and destroying a beloved MCU character.
5 stars for viewers that have no knowledge or attachment to Loki's character. In that case, it's average shlock you can view to pass the time.

They really need to stop making horror meant for overly straight edged church going people because I don't even see a 12 year old into days world finding this scary.

Probably one of the finest movie in the Indian War genre. I'm tempted to say that they've taken the Josh in the movie from Border and the finesse from Lakshya. Saying that, this is just a common mans opinion who constantly wants to compare anything with everything. This movie stands out from any thing that I've seen before and it'll take a long time until another movie makes me feel like this again.

Saw this on Amazon Prime. Checked the IMDb rating, as I always do when searching for a potentially watchable movie.
A rating if 7.7!?!? Really?
So I tuned in. Subtitles!? Really? Hmmmm.
Well, I figured at such a high rating, I'm obliged to give this flick a chance.
I was immediately intrigued and entertained by the comedy. I was actually laughing out loud at 1:30am. Being a life long insomniac, I had already taken my Benadryl and sleeping pill. Just the same, I couldn't stop watching. I guess I watched 15-20 minutes when I decided to restart it, and save it until my wife was awake to take it in with me.
My wife laughed as did I, throughout. Offbeat, a departure, and the other usual terms do apply but don't capture the essence of this farce.
Kungfu Hustle is obviously a Chinese film by comedian and star of the movie, Hong Kong's Stephen Chow, a guy I was not acquainted with. He also, wrote, directed, produced and did the screenplay.
First, let me just say, "HATS OFF" to Chow. This goofy vehicle reflects creativity & ingenuity. Not many movies make any of us (who possess at least some semblance of an intellect), laugh out loud several times over. This movie did.
I mentioned earlier I was intrigued. Foreign films often do not translate well. And even when they do, cultural differences can make the writer's attempt at humor, irrelevant or obscure to its non-native audience. It could just be taste too. Even in English. My little brother loved Monty Python humor. I deemed it insulting English toilet humor 45 years ago. It's just NOT funny.
So here, with Kungfu Hustle, it's not surprising Chow is a comedian. Bill Murray's opinion on this movie was: "the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy".
The scene where 'Landlady' is chasing our star down the road, both as "roadrunners", was great. As visually stimulating as it was funny. I wished it would have lasted much longer.
The scene where our bumbling star is choosing people (one at a time), to fight, out of a crowd; and accidentally chooses (and quickly dismisses), badasses each time; is another (in a series of), laugh out loud moments.
It's difficult to articulate the humor, but the hilarity plays thru the subtitles beautifully.
Never seen anything quite like it. A 10 easy! It's more than a departure, it's outre. It also has a few inventive turns, and even a latent love story. But mostly, much fresh and well executed gag humor. And that is very difficult to pull off.
I will watch again fairly soon. I Highly recommend.
Thanks; Bob R.

Well-filmed pathetic rubbish that is full of cliches. Annoying Morgan Freeman's role is also presented.

Lost in space is a surprisingly great show. I say surprisingly because space movies or shows isn't really my thing. But something about this show really worked for me. The story is actually really good. I love the characters. It has a great pase so it's not boring at all. I loved the first 2 seasons. I will say that season 3 was a little disappointing. It's still really good but I definitely wasn't as infested. But still a great show that I do love. Oh yeah and it looks incredible. Glad Netflix spent this much money on a great show.

The action was really good but story was not strong felt like a bollywood movie. Representation of Bangladesh was not at all good.

This is one of the best movies I have seen in recent times.
Very realistic cinema, made with non-actors who resonate with same energy of Big-B in terms of acting. Hats off to Bacchan Saab, for choosing and portraying the biopic of Vijay Barse with an outstanding performance.
The movie shows how the life of underprivileged slum children takes a drastic postive change from being a drug/alcohol addicts of criminal background to represent India at International slum soccer tournament.
This is a very inspiring sport biopic, with memerising music of Ajay Atul and directorial bollywood debut of Nagraj Manjule. Movie gives a great social message to the society that "Don't judge the poor underprivileged children of slums on their language/personality or criminal background. We as a society can change and contribute to their lives by showing little love, affection and proper guidance, just the way Vijay Barse sir did in his real life.

This is a very engrossing series, that feels often like Garland is expressing himself as purely as possible without having to conform to or pander to broader market, studio based conventions. This means it is very slow, very deliberate, meditative, often very stilted and more than once veers dangerously close to self parody, particularly the performances of Sonoya Mizuno and Alison Pill. Nick Offerman never falters and gives his best performance to date. The cinematography, score, all of the constituent elements of the series are superb. If you like Garland, you will like this. It is one of the most distinctive and thought provoking things I've watched this year.

In this series, you all know are getting a horror and upside down style. It's help us to find a different ideas. This series tell us and we can be different. We should be the way, we are us. Every person need a friend. We can do anything, just keep a thing in mind, don't hurt any good and innocent person. Wednesday seems to be like a bad person, from her speaking style and her dress. But apart from all this, she is still a good person. She doesn't had any great power, but she can beat anyone. She always judge any person according to his/her actions in past, present and future. In this movie, I got all this in fixed amount.

Totally messed up. Also, to note rhere are ads all over the movie

That's it, it's overrated. It's not bad but it's not that good.

Watched on a Sunday afternoon expecting a big juicy burger with fries and a shake and getting instead, a bowl of pasta in a bland sauce with Diet Coke. I was giving it a 6 until the last Farhad scene, my husband and I both screamed F OFF! At the tv as it was unrealistic and stupid. The last scene with Nik in was stupendous was though *italian chefs kiss*

This movie is too long and so boring.
I almost fell asleep before reaching 2 hours of the 3:30 hours.

The whitest story ever told in black veneer. Basically black Thor, just replace the god factor with a god-like techno-culture. As for the actual super-heroism? a gender-switched Cat Woman. There's very strong competition between direction, story and acting on which is the absolute worst. It's a tough one but I'm going to go with script. It's up there with the worst super-hero movies in the company of Elektra and such. Don't waste your time.

A disappointingly mediocre take on one of marvel's most interesting character. Hardy as venom has so much potential on paper but everything about this film seems mediocre. From the plot lines, the villain, the love interest, everything seems to be there just to get by. Some great action scenes here and there, but not enough to making the film anywhere near the standard of so many other superhero films. Maybe it is better for everyone involved if Disney can just get all the IPs back sooner rather than later.

Super characters, super atmosphere. Its a shame that Disney cancelled Netflix adaptation. Im positive that the next Daredevil series will be inferior. Kingpin is the most impressive in my point of view.

I had hopes so high, that I feel like I just git the rug yanked out under me. The show starts off with some cheesy like action and then some not interesting plot. It's not at all what I expected and Much WORSE! I really was looking forward to this show because I love all the actors and they have done great in other shows in the past, but bringing them all together in this boring show, does them no justice. I will give next week one more chance. I hope I am proved wrong! Please, prove me wrong! I was hoping it would be like or similar to the actual avengers move, but it completely nothing like it. I like the computer girl and the head of the agents, they are pretty funny, but everyone else has pretty boring roles.

First of all, this is not a Captain America's solo movie. This is totally an Avengers movie. The civil war between the Avengers. And I'm with team Iron man.
An amazing story and screenplay and Russo brother's smart direction. This film is perfect in every technical side and the action seens are just marvelous. One of the best superhero movie it is. Nobody can miss it.

Its not the 90's anymore! U can't win good ratings just by well choreographed close-combat action scenes & large population country names anymore. Good movies take researches including history, cultures, social & political correctness.That was for good movies, for great movies- go, learn from Scorsese, Scott & Nolan first.

Insert the ONE character that Ryan Reynolds is able to play. Deadpool without a mask on. It's not funny anymore, hasn't been since.. well, Deadpool. Back that up with the Franco brother that can't act and a bunch of no names and here's what you get. Over budget CGI garbage. I could barely make it through the token team intro...pause, this person's name, CGI, pause, this person's name, CGI.... yawn. Try again.

I just don't understand what all the buzz was about. While Coppola did do a good job of capturing the jet-lagged first couple of days in a distant city, that's the end of the accomplishment. The premise, the story, were underwhelming at best. A well educated philosophy student can't find anything better to do but navel gaze in her room or hang out in the hotel bar on her first trip to Tokyo . Bill Murray's character made more sense, but I didn't buy the connection with Charlotte or the emotional build to the end of the movie. I expected another facet of the great character he played in "Rushmore". Instead, we got a good characterization of a middle-aged man moping through an assignment he'd rather not have. Add it all together, it adds up to not much.

Boring and confusing at the same time. I kept waiting for some coherent plot to materialize, but it was just a ridiculous mess, that didn't make much sense. I couldn't finish.

Not much to say. I just want to see Wolverine kicking buts. I guess I'm too old now and I'm tired to see all my cool stuff from my youth dead or deformed. I'm glad that I didn't spend a dime in this crap.

Season 1 was good. Season 2 was okay. Everything after that just became awful and cringey and over the top. Don't even get me started on season 4. They should know when to quit.

It's a standard Shonen anime where pretty much nothing happens and all the characters are unlikable. Deku is one of the worst protagonists I've seen in a long time and all the other characters are just one note cliches.

Little or nothing good to recommend here.
It's a race to the bottom, with the only interesting being in trying to work out which is worse - the writing, or the acting.
Save yourself some hours you won't get back - watch a few episodes of the worse soap opera you have to hand - the writing will be better, the situations more believable, and the acting probably far superior. The popularity of this rubbish is a complete genuine mystery to me. Rubbish...utter utter rubbish.

The first episodes will be among the most intriguing that you've seen recently, after that everything falls apart. With the last episodes i had an hard time staying in front of my monitor. The note is still high because i've rated every episodes in part not only the last episodes otherwise i will have rated an 3. If the first episodes deserves an 10 the last ones deserves an 3. Disappointed overall and if any other serie will pop up not going to waste any more time with it.

Marvel is branching out farther and farther from their usual stomping grounds and setting, we're in Egypt (not filmed in Egypt, just set) in this adventure and it's a nice change of pace. It was also a more fun choice to add the Egyptian mythology to the mix, we meet Khonshu pretty quickly but when other players/gods enter the fray, that's when it gets more interesting. On a similar note, the show experiences a big shift past the halfway point and it saved the experience for me. Moon Knight gets weird (at least for Marvel) and it breathed new life into the show. Watching Marc and Steven have to rationalize and make sense of what's happening is pretty entertaining and it shakes up the snow globe in a very pleasant way.
The biggest reason to check out Moon Knight, other than Marvel getting to play with a whole new mythology and setting, is the acting. Oscar Isaac is great as Mark, Steven and Jake. He flips between them seamlessly and he knows how to play up the comedy when Mark and Steven are interacting with each other. His acting across the board deserves praise and without him working his tail off, this show just wouldn't work. Ethan Hawke is unsurprisingly solid as Arthur Harrow. He brings a gravitas to the character that a lesser actor wouldn't be able to and he helps make the stakes feel more real. I also liked May Calamawy as Marc's estranged wife Layla. The series gives her more to do as it goes on and after the typical bickering, Layla becomes a hero in her own right. The only other recognizable name is F. Murray Abraham as Khonshu and he does a fine job in voicing the character.
The element that holds Moon Knight up is the glacial pacing in the middle of the series. It starts fairly fast but after the initial episode, proceedings almost grind to a halt. There is action peppered in throughout and it looks good (the choreography and use of the Knight's powers are both decent) but those scenes are far and few between. Moon Knight is SLOW in episodes 2-4 and then someone gives it a shot in the arm and by episode 6, the show is almost at a sprint. I understand developing the characters and selling the intrigue but if there was anyway to recommend skipping the middle episodes I probably would. But I can't because you wouldn't be able to comprehend the end without all the exposition. So you have to trade that off with Moon Knight, the only way you're going to enjoy it is if you have the patience for it.
Balancing the the weirder elements in the show with the unfortunately boring stretches and Moon Knight arrives in the middle. Oscar Isaac's willingness to embrace the madness keeps the show afloat but Moon Knight is right on the edge between something I want to recommend and something I think you should skip. If you're really into Marvel's slant on TV or love some of their previous shows, I think you'll enjoy this. But if you aren't a superhero die-hard or only have so much time to watch TV, you can skip Moon Knight. It's perfectly acceptable programming but they can't all be home runs.

Marvel and the Russo Brothers did it again! to simply put, it's a spectacular film overall.
Captain America: Civil War has all the things that makes a comic- book movie an enjoyable blast. It's entertaining, it's emotional, it has action-packed scenes that will leave you at the edge of your seat and of course, it certainly has humor in it and just the right amount as well so it won't come out as a jarring or brooding movie experience. This is what a blockbuster film should be.
My main fear before watching this movie was how were they going to handle this amount of characters in one film since even the last Avengers movie: Age of Ultron had a difficult time in doing so. After watching it though, all I got to say is that it surpassed almost every bit of expectation I had and gave each of our heroes their spotlight moments which allowed them to standout in the movie in their own way which the Russos did flawlessly especially the newly introduced character Black Panther which they also nailed perfectly and served as a strong introduction for those who don't read the comics and aren't familiar about his character at all.
Maybe my only problem with this film is that it's vastly different from it's comic counterpart but I do understand that the MCU is trying something different so I won't bitch about it too much. The villain didn't bothered me as much as people say it was, though his plan was a little too intricate, he was still an exceptionally good villain with a legit motive but I do agree with some people that he didn't need to be in this movie since it's already filled with the necessary conflict that would otherwise make it a thrilling film.
Now for my final thoughts about Captain America: Civil War. If you enjoy comic-book or superhero films as a whole with no bias, this movie is a must see and you'll probably enjoy the hell out of it. This movie proves that a film can satisfy the fans, the general audience AND the critics all at the same time.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING AND STRONG WRITEN MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN. I INJOYED EVERY MOMENT OF THIS FILM
| 5 |
I felt the need to review this film because at 8.8 I feel it is being reviewed in the same class as some truly great films ... Firstly I fully understood the film and thought the idea and effects were very good as was the acting. The main issue I had with this film was that there was seemingly endless portion of it that was just full on panic drama shooting effects slo Mo's etc. Less of a rollercoaster ride more of a wall of death.. some people might like a film paced in such a way ....but I don't. I like the pace of a story to give you ups and downs.. a mix of dialogue and action... Stress and calm... Ying n Yang if you will. This film film should even out as a rating of about 7.5 imho ..which is still a good rating ...but 8.8 I really think is too high.

My Rating : 10/10 ♠ MASTERPIECE ♠
To begin with, I generally refrain from giving a 10/10 rating to every movie I happen to fall in love with immediately but this here is an exception. One of the main reasons being that not a single second is boring and the speed with which the narrative moves is refreshing for its 2 hrs 25 mins runtime length. The other being that I am always looking and searching for a good thriller that lights up parts of my brain in all the wonderful ways only a thriller can.
This certainly went above and beyond my expectations. Watching 'Ratsasan' is like going on an exhilarating rollercoaster ride which doesn't want to end until the viewer is satisfied and has been left completely quenched from their craving for a thriller. It is unique and infinitely creative as far as storytelling goes for the thriller genre.
'Ratsasan' defines what edge-of-your-seat really means. It masterfully balances all the elements of a great thriller with an intelligence and style that only a handful of movies have mastered as of yet. 'The Silence of the Lambs' and 'Se7en' come to mind and in recent times 'Gone Girl' and 'The Invisible Guest'.
'RATSASAN' IS ONE OF THE BEST THRILLERS I'VE EVER SEEN.10/10.

I was so anticipated to watch the new Quentin Tarantino's movie. As a fan of his movies, as I walked out of the cinema I was confused and didn't believe that this is the big hype. I gave the movie 6/10 because of the acting, production and Quentin's mind but the plot is not.

I am a huge fan, and this was so bad, it has tainted my view of you. I'm so very disappointed in your choices, you are a brilliant comic, and a good actor, don't waste it.

This story has everything the first one had but with more. The choices from the original are now consequences in this one. The villain is just as iconic as Green Goblin and again, has a personal relationship with Peter to add extra emotional weight. So if you ask me, this one doubles everything the first one did, and the first one was already flawless. It's just as attracting as the first one and will have you engaged, Spider-Man fan or not since there's action and drama. The theme still focuses on responsibility as does the 3rd one. The acting is still great with less cheesy dialogue than the first. The cinematography improves in my opinion and seems more cinematic and dramatic. The editing and pacing takes a little more time but fits all its scenes perfectly. With great sound and keeping the iconic theme. Sam Raimi improved on what was already flawless and is truly one of a kind. 10/10. A+.

I admit that I did not read the novel series. I watched 4 episodes last night, and did not know what was going on for the most parts. No proper introduction to the characters. Lots of talking, and the scenes jump from one to the other without proper transition. No proper character development. No chemistry between the characters. If I need to re-watch this with context of the written materials, maybe the tv series is not that good in the first place. And 8 episodes is too little for such a complex theme. No wait, game of thrones is complex as well. I love the tv series without reading anything. So, I guess the witcher is bad? How did it get over 8/10 in rating?

The Coen Bros. did it again with this fantastic film. And by "fantastic", please understand that I'm talking about its script and photography, not its genre. As it shows quite accurately the real life of rural mid-western communities in the U.S. Along with these accomplishments, the depiction of the story and the characters makes this film absolutely mesmerizing from its start sequence to its prompt (you shall think it is) ending.

The series gives a depth to the characters of Falcon and the winter Soldier bucky. The performances of the actors, the cinematography, the well choreographer action sequences and above all direction of Kari Skogland makes The Falcon and winter Soldier, one of the most enjoyable 6 episode ride on disney Plus.

Karli was shown good. Fighting for rights.
Whom rights? Those people who got facilities for free.
When half dead population came back. They want their property back. What's wrong with that??
They own their property.
Karli peacefully blasting building so that some people could get others property😂👏👏
And that Falcon's speech.... OMG it was cringey af.
He was asked something else and he answered something else because he didn't have anything to say. He couldn't deny the truth and facts.
Either keep politics away from series or show bad as bad. Don't try to depict them as victims and justify their evil deeds.
TFATWS is a POS.

Whilst the series is highly engaging in the early episodes they never really develop the characters and we never understand their motives or emotions. Also, whilst they spend the last episode explaining the technical aspects of the possible causes we really don't get all the sub plots and motivations, both during the actual event and in the review of it many years later.
The casting, sets, cinematography, styling etc is excellent! My only gripe is that I would have preferred Russian audio with subtitles to really create a feeling of authenticity.
Bottom line is that the series is interesting and very realistic but it serves as great documentary rather than engaging and relatable dramatic entertainment.

I listened to my friends talking about this movie and how amazing it was and I just watched it and it was completely over hyped. They made the actors awkward as hell and was just odd, soundtrack was amazing that's why it got the two stars.. but I don't recommend this movie to anyone

If you are watching this to know history, I would never suggest a bollywood movie, ofc this one is on the top of my list.
However if you want to watch something for entertainment, then yes this movie does the job well.

Hi ELLIOT GJAZZ here. I'm going to make this review fairly short, as quite frankly I really don't have much to say about this film.I know many people loved this movie, myself sadly I did not. I was totally bored all the way throughout and even kept nodding off for a few seconds here and there .Don't get me wrong the ANIMATION was FANTASTIC BRILLIANT, but if there is a stupid story behind it then in my book, it's a waste of time. I really wasn't keen on any of the characters except for SPIDERMAN NOIR voiced by NICK CAGE and WILSON FISK voiced by LIEV ( RAY DONOVAN ) SCHRIEIBER, both of whom I admire as talented actors. Don't get me started with that idiotic SPIDERMAN PIG which was more like POKE'MON than SPIDERMAN. That's when I just really had enough. I remember when I was a kid i used to look forward to a tv show called GLEN MICHAEL'S CARTOON CAVALCADE. This was a show which predominately showed toon type short cartoons, however there was one more serious type of cartoon, a favourite of which of mine was SPIDERMAN usually shown as a weekly 2 part episodes. This was suberb, and the reason I am bringing this up is that all that time way back in the late 60's and early 70's these SPIDERMAN Toons were wae better than this rubbish. Let me iritterate , again the ANIMATION for SPIDER-VERSE was truly MAGNIFICENT. If these guys had a better story and script then perhaps it would have been truly magnificent. One last thing. I absolutely hated the RAP MUSIC and BLAND songs. A QUINCY JONES - LALO SCHIFRIN style JAZZY score would have suited better. It wouldn't make the script better but it certainly would be more pleasing to the ear. Ending on another note I also thought the gags were awful , and could have done with the gags from AQUAMAN which was out the same week and if you read my review on it , you will see I absolutely loved it. I so much also wanted to love SPIDER-VERSE sadly however that was just not to be!

GoT got slaughtered by many of you followers/fans, after an epic, bewildering tale that captivated us week to week, why, because you didn't get the ending you wished for, it wasn't user friendly enough !? But that was its magic !
GoT, like no show I had ever seen, Invested in Characters, then, shocked, created awe & entertained, remember "The Rains of Castamere" lol, how many favorites did we lose that night and yet the praise rings loud !
You can still embrace it even if it doesn't meet your criteria!
As I write HotD has an 8.5 rating on IMDB, yet character investment is limited ? Little shock, very little awe. On it's own merits it is decent but in comparison, not in the same realm. Apologies and eternal gratitude to George R. R. Martin, you created the best thing to ever grace TV screens and I will continue to follow your writings but any of you fans who rate this above the last series of GoT... arrrrggghhh!

The hype train around this movie was pretty big considering the tiny budget ($4.5m) and lack of star power in front of the camera, with the trailers promising a new take on horror from the first time Aussie directors.
What was delivered however, was a lacklustre, by the numbers tale of yet another group of instantly hateable teens making contact with the other side and unable to close the door, leading to various scares and thrills as they escape peril (or not)
This movie hits every checkbox along the way without adding anything new or exciting to an already bloated genre. The hand simply replaces the standard conduit (Ouija board, mirror, book etc) for spiritual activity. Even the scares themselves are poorly conceived and lacking tension and gore. (Apart from one scene with Riley)
The characters are nothing more than shallow cutouts, made even harder to feel empathy with given how spiteful and truly annoying they all are. Only Miranda Otto (Mum) and. Joe Bird (Riley) rise above with solid performances from what little material they were given.
When it becomes apparent that this is yet another rehash of well trodden horror territory, it then becomes all too predictable and this is where the directors lose face. They add nothing to justify the hype around them. No flourish or signs that they can handle even the most basic of movie templates with creativity or provide a new "vision" on something that most of us have already seen before.
Where I will give the film some credit is on its sound design and mixing which was really solid.
There are hints of a better, more interesting story scattered throughout that are never built upon. Themes of suicide, expression of grief, technology and the family unit are touched on but unexplored, leaving the viewer with an unsatisified conclusion come the finale.
A finale which is indeed the most interesting and engaging part of the film, sadly only lasts 90 seconds and serves as a reminder of an opporrtunity missed.
4.5/10.

OMG IT IS SO GOOD especially for young woman! It is so inspiring and really shows everything Barbie is. I think this movie is good for all ages because it will teach all woman how life really is and it will teach young girls the reailty of this world and how to prepare for obstacles that come there way. This movie was funny as well as informing and I didn't expect this plot at all from this movie. I would see this again becuase it is just that good and I think out would needs to turn to Barbie land because there world is fair and I wish we could be like that. It is so amazing so so so good 5/5.

A majestic tale of vikram chandra, beautifully adopted by netflix. Both the seasons are pure gem and muat watch. Though some episodes strech the story unnecessarily but yet to the point. End makes you think over it. Definitely not forgetable

The Godfather Part II was entire to be Another Sequel to the 1972 Classic The Godfather; it is wholly known about this film. 80% of Robert De Niro in this Film were Speaking Italian, and I know that He was a Badass; nevertheless, I know that the Sequel was entirely to be the Best due to the Story was about The Story of Michael Corleone in the late 50s to the Early 60s and was known that he is having a problem with a Jewish Mobs and some Politician want him in Death Row. I love it, More Gritty and More Brutal, this Sequel, and I love It very much. Because Robbie De Niro's Performance is very badass, it made me think about Boardwalk Empire.

OK, it's a movie with huge production values and a great cast and all that stuff. Beside those attributes, I found the movie too premise based and too math like. It felt similar to a time travel premise movie, where the buy in is important for the story (Memento). I didn't buy in. The talk and concept of different levels of dream states and manipulating the subconscious patterns of the dreamer seemed too formulaic and, even, immature.
Keep in mind, I'm writing this review a few years after seeing the movie. It was one of those films where I had to go out and see another movie to correct the experience and to remove the disappointment from my mind.
Good luck.

If you're expecting anything that resembles the first (original) series of this show, forget about it. Even the subsequent series (the color ones) don't come close. As a stand alone sci-fi, it's what you'd expect from Netflix...classy sets, OK acting, good production values, but writing and plots...nyeh. I can't get the old series out of my mind. This one is great for family viewing, but I can't make it through more than a couple at a time. The later episodes are better than the pilot. Not unwatchable but still....

I live in the great state of Missouri and have never encountered any of the "ist" characters portrayed in this heavily flawed film. You name the "ist" word and it is portrayed by all except for the minority actors which are also dishonored because of their stereotyping in this movie. Horrid condemnation by Hollywood of the "flyover" part of the USA. They still don't get it.

Its very popular anime and there is a reason for this. Watch death note and thank me later.

Season one and two are quite entertaining and the 80's feel is right on the money. Season 3 however has gone off the rails to the point of irritation. The dumbing down of Jim Hopper was a real disappointment. Winona still can't act and the story takes some really childish liberties. Real pity because they were on to something here.

A lot of 10 star reviews out there at least 70% of them are fake.
Every character is crazy, and hate a show that has politics involved and this on has it a lot especially in season 2. If I had some power and a shotgun would have killed them all and the world would have been better without them. The only reason I endured to watch it is because of N5 and the Champ.

Movie has a great plot and teaches us ,if we take step towards slum areas and will try to educate them , let them play the sports ...we will get diamonds from out there. Throughout this movie I noticed one thing... almost every elite class has problem with them because they got stereotypes mentality. Grow up ! Man, they are human too,don't hate on the basis of colour and their livelihood. If you see talent over them...let them try. They will be proud of country.

As the large majority of things taken from Stephen King you must have a huge imagination to interpret the non sense.
The first episodes are really great. The thrilling story is indeed very engaging. At the middle of the season 1 the first questions arise.
At the last episodes you feel cheated, with so long dialogues just to earn time and dilute the soup. Water. Not soup.
Don't waste your time.

The plot of this movie is basically no plot. The way spider man meet each other and the way very villains suddenly regert barely make any sense. The rest of the plot is like a carnival rather than a movie. Things changes way too sudden, it feels like the screenwriter want to put everything togther without bothering to make a good connection.

Does it look good. Oh hell yeah. Some of the best CGI ever put on film.
BUT
That actually hurts the movie. You lose so much of the soul of that movie by have such photo realism... it really loses its soul

This film essentially begins about two years later with "Peter Parker" (Tobey Maguire) going to college and working for a pizza shop after school to order to pay the bills. Between those two activities and spending an inordinate amount of time as Spider-Man, he is becoming quite exhausted. So much so that, he starts finding it much more difficult to maintain his superpowers. Likewise, the fact that he feels quite a bit of guilt from the death of his uncle along with his emotional distancing from his childhood sweetheart "Mary Jane Watson" (Kirsten Dunst) also registers heavily upon his mind as well. And just when he thinks it cannot possibly get any worse, a brilliant scientist by the name of "Dr. Otto Octavius" (Alfred Molina) suddenly transforms into a malicious monster that only he can stop. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, while not quite as good as its predecessor, this film turned out to be a decent sequel, all the same. And while I believe that Tobey Maguire performs exceptionally well in the lead role, one thing that is missing is the sense of humor that Spider-Man is known for in the comic books. Even so, I enjoyed this film for the most part, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

Like The Descendants, this is another film that makes its characters shouts and screaming at each other all the time. But it doesn't work very well. Okay, if the main character has problems that is fine but his family, supposedly normal folks, doesn't look normal to me as they did not realistically try to keep things as low-profile as possible. As if they enjoyed the attention of them being the most annoying family in the neighbourhood. I am not convinced whether the movie is accurate in portraying the realm of clinical psychology, and it made even worse with a cliché and even more unrealistic ending. Maybe I am off-the-mark of what the film is trying to show here, but seems to me everyone (including the dancers which made a remark that I felt was really silly) and even the film itself is kind of dysfunctional and the only person that made realistic sense to me, despite her aggressive behaviour, is Jennifer Lawrence's character.

First of all, this should've been 8 episodes. 10 tops.
Second.. Admittedly, this was way better than any of its predecessors on Netflix.
Third.. More violent than the other Marvel series. BUT, IT SHOULD'VE BEEN EVEN MORE VIOLENT THROUGHOUT!!! The Punisher is violent!!! All the time!!! The story is there, BUT with The Punisher THE VIOLENCE COMES FIRST!! This is a mediocre job. It could've been so much better.
Here's an idea: Why not include a mini-side story for every episode ending with a brutal altercation between Castle and some criminal scum element? The writing was better than before, but still not good enough. More dynamic, but still not dynamic enough.
The overall average rating is way too high.. 9.3?! Really?! People just throw around big ratings like its masterpieces all over the place. 6.5/10 and I'm being generous.

Parasite, directed by Bong Joon-ho, is a critically acclaimed South Korean film that has received numerous awards and accolades. However, in my opinion, the film falls short of its hype. While the premise of a lower-class family infiltrating a wealthy household is intriguing, the execution is heavy-handed and lacks subtlety.
The characters are one-dimensional and lack depth, with the lower-class family being portrayed as cunning and deceitful, and the wealthy family as naive and ignorant. The film's attempts at social commentary feel forced and preachy, with the message of class struggle being hammered home repeatedly.
Furthermore, the film's pacing is slow and uneven, with long stretches of exposition and character development that feel drawn out and unnecessary. The final act, while shocking, is also predictable and lacks emotional impact due to the lack of investment in the characters.
Overall, Parasite is a film that is overhyped and overrated. While it may appeal to those who enjoy heavy-handed social commentary, those looking for a more nuanced and subtle exploration of class struggle will be disappointed. Despite its critical acclaim, I found Parasite to be a disappointing and forgettable film.

It could've been a really good movie, and maybe it really is. But compared to the book this is a massive disappointment and the only resemblance to the book are the names

The parts that matter in this movie is the first 10 minutes that shows how the 2 main characters met..and then the last 30 minutes towards the end..that's it.. Because in between nothing really happened..
No story development or anything important happened .. Just the 2 main characters spending time with each other.. And some irrelevant things happened just to show the personality of the girl.. As if the viewers still don't get how sassy she is..
The guy went from feeling a bit suffocated with her controlling behaviour then suddenly likes her.. How can that be when at times she seems too much, a control freak and even abusive.. The ending even coincidental, it is a bit sweet.. but it is still not worth the extra run time..of all the Korean films that I've watched so far, this one I like the least.

Well that surprised I didn't liked it movie cos that guy who played Shazam quite bit annoying and irritating sometimes. And other characters was weak and boring. The story wasn't that good and I felt like I seen it before and nothing new. Shazam was bit similar like Superman but not good enough for me and like I said worse than Green Lantern. Sorry fans I didn't liked it and not funny anything for me. I rather to stick with Superman, Aquaman, Squad Suicide, Wonder Woman and Batman

Slow start, but things start rolling in e4. To better enjoy this show, once needs to be familiar with the Theranos story, Amanda did a fantastic job portraying Elizabeth Holmes, the way she walks, talks, make up, she even mastered the voice. She truly deserves an award for her performance. All in all, the shows was way more enjoyable, than the documentary made by HBO.

Somehow James Cameron has amassed a reputation as one of the premier directors of the late 20th and early 21st century. The man's handiwork with a camera cannot be denied, but his taste in plots is among the worst. If not for an abundance of unnecessary swearing, this movie would have been rated PG (as it should have been), and would belong alongside other fairy tales such as Cinderella and Pocahontas. It's hard to see what "Avatar" does well, asides from beautiful special effects. There's not enough action to warrant a "Transformers" like buzz, and there isn't enough plot to allow for a genuine love story. How this movie has amassed so many positive reviews is beyond me. Oh wait, it was made for American movie-goers.

Great cinematography. Superb acting. Horrible, non the less.
| 5 |
The show is quirky, campy and ok. Just ok. I have seen a LOT worse on Netflix. It is definitely geared for a younger audience.
I like picking out all the 80s stuff. But the show "borrowing" things and plot points from older syfy and horror films gets old fast. It's a remix of: Firestarter Goonies Aliens E.T. Invasion of the Body Snatchers And probably over a dozen others
The plot holes are enormous: guns kill the bad things, just not when soldiers use them for example. That being said, it should have ended after one season - but far be it for the industry not to wring every last dollar out of something until it's destroyed.

This grossly overrated film is dull and lifeless. None of the characters are likable. All the attempts at humour fall flat.
Scarlett Johansson was far too young to play her role. Opening the film showing her in her knickers misleads the viewers into thinking that the film will be erotic.

My friend recommended this film to me the other day and i watched it, first time, i did not understand the plot although it was explained to me, but when i watched it the second time i was blown away. This is a very good film with an interesting plot, dialogue and very well- written. Not only does it portray a love between two characters who are already married but the flashbacks from the beginning and the way it unfolds from how they met to how they finally reunited, is very powerful. I enjoyed every moment of this movie it was gripping and it was brilliantly acted, with a good cast. I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys Bollywood or Alternative cinema.

The Kubrick-inspired intro was unexpected but definitely appreciated. It's a funny movie. It's got quirky and clever humor. I like how it kind of makes fun of itself as well, it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's very self aware humor. It's also silly without being annoying or repetitive. This movie is very creative and imaginative. It was a very well made movie where they paid a lot of attention to detail. Especially with all the set pieces, costumes and props. It's cool to see them bring the Barbie universe to life in live action. There's some cameos in this movie that were hilarious. Margot was wonderful as Barbie. Michael Cera as Alan was perfect. I love the guy, great and funny actor. Ryan Gosling kills it as Ken. He's got a great understanding of comedy. Kate McKinnon as weird Barbie was so good, she's hilarious. Everybody plays their part wonderfully. The movie's very colorful, warm and bright. It inspires feelings of happiness and joy. It's a very feel-good type of vibe. There's a standout moment for me when Barbie's sitting on a bench and looks around her and realizes that the imperfect real world is actually a beautiful world. With all of it's good and bad, happy and sad.
Ok, now onto the bad lol. So the movie starts out really fun and funny but then gets progressively more and more preachy. The movie starts out at an 8/10 then midway through drops to a 7, by the end it goes down to a 6. It kind of takes a nosedive around the end when it becomes overly preachy with it's speeches and confusing messages. By this point I pretty much tuned out and started asking myself what the creators true intentions were and what messages they were trying to convey. I feel like the moral/message of the movie gets kind of muddled and isn't as transparent as it should be.
Obviously the movie is about self discovery, identity and female empowerment but when it comes to the whole male/female subject matter, it gets confusing. Are men the evil ones, the bad ones? And women are the victims of mens patriarchy? I mean if that's the case, then the creators of this movie are completely out of touch with reality. Look at all the rights and equality women have nowadays. Look at all the women in power. All the women who own businesses, who are go-getters, who are successful entrepreneurs. This movie makes it out to seem like women are powerless, oppressed by men and the only way to get ahead is through manipulation and psychological tactics lol. It's almost offensive. I feel like the moral/message gets lost within the movie and this is its main problem.
Other than that, it's a feel-good hilarious fun time!

This film served as a "mid season finale" to both the Avengers films, the Captain America Trilogy and the Iron Man trilogy.
First and foremost, this is a sequel to Captain America: Winter Soldier. We see a clear impact of the events of the previous film on Cap and influencing very important decisions he makes throughout the course of the film. We also see character arcs coming full circle in the film. Cap's interaction with Bucky, Sam (Falcon), Natasha and the Carter girls really highlights and builds upon the relationships that had been established in the earlier movies.
Secondly, this was a sequel to the Iron Man films, as well as to the Avengers flicks. We see Tony's character in a much different state of mind than he was when he was first introduced to us in 2008. We see how each of his actions, in the events in the films that led to this one, have taken a toll on him and made him more somber. We also see some form of resolution and expansion to the relationships he had at the end of Iron Man 3.
Scarlet Witch and Vision really helped tie in the Avengers films' story into the story. I felt the interplay between the two was done really well, and the film just established Wanda as powerhouse. She was intimidating and just flat out overpowered. I LOVED every moment she was on screen. One of the best characters in the film. Furthermore, the film also ties in the catastrophic events that occurred during both the Avengers flicks.
In my opinion, you need to watch all the Avengers, Captain America and Iron Man films in order to enjoy this film to its fullest and to be invested in the character motivations in the film. But even on it's own, this film rocks. Spider-Man's role in the film was so beautifully handled with love and care. He was the star whenever he was on screen. Spider-Man is essentially Marvel, and Marvel is Spider-Man. Ant-Man had some fantastic scenes. Black Panther / T'Challa just had a presence about him. Chadwick Boseman really highlighted the character's regal decent as well as the warrior aspect. Definitely another epic addition to the MCU. Black Widow was great as always, and by now has solidified herself as a legitimate badass.
Overall, this film was brilliant. It had the perfect balance of emotions, humor, grit, and action. The action in this movie was so meticulously crafted, so well handled, I feel that this film is, hands down, one of the greatest action movies ever made. What really elevated the action, were the emotional beats as well as the humor that was peppered throughout the film. It never felt like it dragged on. One slight nitpick, that I do have, is the fact that the ending of the film felt slightly abrupt. I would've liked them to have lingered at some shots, to really let the moment sink in at the end. The villain served a purpose. He was functional for the film.
I'd give this film a 9.7/10 You're in for a treat .

I started watching the series thinking something would come out of it but as it progressed, the storyline just took toooooo long to develop. I mean the last 2 episodes took forever for the characters to say their lines. It just drug tremendously and I was disappointed. Sorry

Season 1
Finally decided to check this show out because of all the hype but I just don't get it. There was no character development at all and there were really no like-able characters at all not even Bauer. Main characters get shot, who cares, some die and still I don't care they mean nothing to me. Sutherland and Haysbert are the exceptions to a terrible acting main cast highlighted by the woman playing Haysberts wife and son along with the two love interests in Bauers life. How did these people get work on such a major show?
Maybe the following seasons will be better and are why this show was so popular but after one season I'm not overly hopeful.

For the people who did not play the video game: this is not a classic zombie apocalypse show. The zombies are just a way to tell a story about humans. So, if you want to watch a show filled with action and shooting, The Last of Us is really not for you.
What makes The Last of Us the best video game adaptation is the fact that it is faithful to the source material, but it also makes some improvements. Another reason is that it can be appreciated in the same way by people who never played anything in their lives and people who know everything about the game.
Looking forward to the second season.

I am astonished at how many people like this movie, I was bored from beginning to end laughing a handful of times (I counted) and couldn't wait to get out of the theater.
The movie is about these actors who are doing a very good job making this war movie so the director decides to put the actors in the real jungle and film them after the director dies so does the movie. Just about nothing happens after this point that's remotely funny. Tom Cruise's character was terrible all he does is yell and curse.
I really wanted to like this movie but in the end hated everything about it, biggest waste of money I've ever spent at the theaters. Many people I know feel the same way about this movie. Go rent Dumb and Dumber.

I had never heard of the Witcher before I started watching this series. As an avid fantasy lover I started to watch this with a friend, but after only 1,5 episodes we just could not go on because it was terrible. This show throws names around like we just should know what everything is, the timelines jump like crazy too. I decided to watch on alone (do watch this with headphones or something on, it makes a big difference).
The further along the story went, the better it went (my take: the awful acting of Queen Calanthe, less messy storylines and it all seemed to slow down a little bit).
After I saw this series I have started reading the books and I noticed that everything wrong with the series (the weird storyline, plot that didnt seem to work and the awful dialogue) didn't come from the books at all, and everything that was right with the series did.
Henry Cavill was amazing as Geralt, I like Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra and Joey Batey. Also the actress cast as Tissaia was phenomenal.
I still have high hopes for next season, but they need to adjust the timeline (please slow down!), stop adding bad diologue (keep closer to the books) and I that will make the big difference.

The first sequel to ever get a best film oscar, and well-deserved. Pacino puts in a possible 'career best' as Michael, while De Niro is very convincing as Vito Corleone. The film is really spilt into two parts from the late 50s with Michael and the 20s with Vito. It works well as we can spot differences between the two. I won't say anymore as I don't want to spoil it for everyone. The only disadvantage is that it is a tad long, so be prepared to watch for over 3 hours. Apart from that its excellent.

21 August 2005. Kung Fu Hustle is one of those few movie that is able to capture the elements of various diverse movie genres and successfully balance them to produce a viable, intact movie experience that an audience can relate to. In the tradition of "Kill Bill," and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," Kung Fu Hustle brings together elements of the old martial arts movies, the contemporary retro feel of drama and comedy in a way that singes the senses. The blatant, visceral murders and killings along with the slapstick comedy bounces the audience in a tumultuous, emotional cosmic ride while the leading characters are both intriguing, compelling but in their own ways despicable. The eclectic use of special effects along with the uncertainty of who will live or die sets up the movie in a delicious way. There were some disconcerting elements with a few scenes left hanging, the jerky jump between scenes, abrupt that left little time for the audience to react. The tone of the movie shifted between the first third of confusion and disorientation and the last two-thirds of the movie that required the audience to re-mold their perception where the separate threads seem to be tied together (awkwardly, as this was no mystery thriller or detective movie). However, overall, Kung Fu Hustle was one of the best movies to come out in 2004.

What a load of feminist crap. The all new 2018 re-spin of Lost in Space is excellently produced with brilliant eye candy and an upbeat sound track. So why do I want to shotgun my television in true Elvis Presley style every time I watch an episode? Because my built-in anti-reprogramming watchdog is screaming its head off to disengage from this distortion. So what's wrong with the program? Have you noticed how every Male character is portrayed as either intellectually or emotionally stunted, a scoundrel or an arrogant SOB. Where as all the Females are portrayed as above all, intelligent, brave and confident. Even the female re-spin of Dr Smith is some psychologist criminal master mind able to exploit the darker side of a robot AI. This show should be renamed the Molly Parker show. That said, I particularly like the episode where Ms Robinson goes for a stratospheric high altitude balloon ride without telling a soul and without any ground support what so ever. For somebody so protective of her own family she certainly has little regard for her own life. From the shot and the curvature of the planet you can see she is above the jet stream, she is also untethered. Which means at the scene of viewing the Sun she's is at least 500miles east of her launch location and in for 36Hr round trip. Oh, just slipped her mind. Its contradictions like this that weigh heavy against the shows credibility and actually, I am glad. This is not a children's program, it's programming. This show is Out-of-Balance, the Males are portrayed as subdued without curiosity and the Females leading with all the answers. Just another attempt to subdue the male creative essence in preference to the highly popular super-tech females. Its a product of the new cynical formula for family entertainment that aims to maximise revenue but it comes at a cost. Don't believe me? Go see for yourself.

Jump the gun, come in here and after two episodes call it "An Intriguing Masterpiece" Why don't you just finish the first season before you label it such. Labeling it a "Masterpiece", when you haven't even watched it in it's entirety, just makes me think you worked on the cutting room floor. UPDATE: I'm not a big Stephen King fan, but I think this might be his best work.

This is easily one of my new favorite horror movies. I've definitely seen more violence in a movie many times before, but some of it is unexpected and shocking. There's some scenes/images that really got under my skin at some points. The main character's choices can be questionable but they made sense to me... lots of people make bad choices when they are grieving. This film is kind of a metaphor for addiction. Also the pacing of this movie was fantastic. Ending was insanely awesome. We've seen some of the same things this horror film has that's been in other movies but it's definitely a film with new ideas and concepts. Definitely going in my dvd collection. 8.5/10 for me.

I came into this movie with no expectations other than it was supposed to be decent. And what is it? A gangster movie, a character study, both?
In the end it's neither and it revels in it's own self importance. I don't want to spend too long on it because nothing really happens. There isn't much in the way of suspense (unless you count melodrama), there isn't much in the way of logic, and there isn't much in the way of identifying with any of the main characters.
The lead is Al Pacino lite, all moody silences and exhortations about the right way to do things etcetc. You're supposed to feel the force of his character and his own self belief I suppose, but all I saw was a self important hood (with a decent vocabulary) endlessly pontificating about not much at all.
Avoid. Although it's an interesting time capsule back to the 80s I suppose.

This is an okay movie. Nothing more, nothing less. The acting is cheesy and the feel is very gen z. Is this movie worth all the stars? No. There are numerous movies which are far better, and a few are far worse. I made the mistake of renting it and now I feel I wasted the 6 bucks. It was definitely not worth all the extra hype. The acting is a bit subpar and it definitely feels like a weird Australian movie. If you live in Australia maybe this is what you are searching for, but in the rest of the world, it doesn't live up to the expectations set for it. Now I'm ranting cuz I'm forced to type so much.
