The first season of those show was phenomenal. Loved it. Very nostalgic. Unfortunately the second season fell a little flat for me, and that is because the main antagonist (Matthew Modine's character) is not seen in the second season. I think that is what sent the show downward. I think viewers could identify more with a human antagonist than " the darkness form another dimension etc" that has no real motive that we can understand vs what we can all understand might be Dr Brenner's motive.

The best part of this movie was watching what happened to Taylor Swift. Seriously. The second best was the character acting by Christian Bale. He was his usual method acting self and the primary reason to watch. Margot Robbie does not have a good French or American accent and her Australian accent came out several times. It's okay though...because she's beautiful (but maybe he could've called Jennifer Lawrence again?). At least that's apparently what David O. Russell thought. He keeps making these movies that are so unrealistic, over the top and entirely too long to be enjoyable. It's like a Wes Anderson movie, only at a reasonable pace.
There should have been more Chris Rock. When given the chance, he's more than just comic relief and he should have been a part of the pact.
I didn't like being preached or pandered to by David O. Russell's narrow mindedness, but it comes with his films. This is the best of his worst, of that helps.

season 1 + 2 were awesome as others have said. as for season 3 first 4 episodes i was walking away for it felt like they didn't know what to do with the show but from episode 4 -8 so far it brings the story together, and i have just fell in love with the show again! I love the acting it is top class and i cannot believe the show has been cancelled. Just stick with season 3 get over the first few episodes and you will agree with me!! I love the way the story is going and would like to see it picked up by one of the other companies it would work really well on netflix. I give this show a good 8.3 out of ten. So people start watching and hope someone gets this show back on air!

It was a good movie but kinda sick. Very certain people will actually like it. It wasn't "bad". But not actually great as many will say. In my opinion, it's good but not worth of an Oscar.

I gave this a 6 only because hardy and harrelson are perfect, always, but this was a completely way over done story line with no connecting pieces whatsoever. I honestly thought i was in the wrong movie for the first 10 ish minutes? Then i realized it was the right movie and i was counting down the minutes until it was over. The plot just really missed for a sequel.

Being a huge barbie fan I had to go watch this movie and let me tell you it did not disappoint. Started as a fun kids movie but took a. Wry interesting turn with its story line.
The display of patriarchy in real world using barbie land was so smartly done.
A great direction with attention to details that makes this so much fun to watch.
Some of the moments will make you burst out laughing and some will make you really emotional.
It's a movie for every age group but absolutely a must watch for teenagers.
My fiancé watched it with me who doesn't know anything about barbies but has a wonderful time. He rated it 8/10 so that's quite a lot.
Enjoy.

The best movie ever made, if you do not like it, do not enjoy it, you'll have to admit that at least it is an amazing movie, with an amazing story line. If you never watched it, you must. It's a long movie but while watching it time flies and you will want to watch it over and over again. Do not miss the chance.

When I first saw the trailer for Now You See Me it got my interest straight away. I thought to myself it's got a great cast and an interesting premise that made it look to be a cross between the Prestige & Ocean's 11. Whilst this film has elements of these 2 films, it completely fails to be anywhere near as good as either of these films.
NYSM starts off interestingly enough; we begin with 4 magicians; J Daniel Atlas (Eisenberg) Merritt McKinney (Harrelson), Henley Reeves (Fisher)& Jack Wilder (Franco) who are all working as 'small time' magicians. They all find themselves drawn together when they each receive a card telling them to meet at a specific place at a specified time. At this stage, they are unaware of who has brought them together and why they have brought them together. We then jump forward 1 year and the 4 magicians are now working together and collectively they are known as 'the 4 horseman' (which is strange as one of them is female). They quickly find themselves being pursued by the FBI and Interpol when they discover that they are pulling off bank heists during their performances. FBI Agent Dylan Rhodes (Ruffalo) and Interpol Agent Alma Dray (Laurent) are sent into investigate the magicians and try to 'expose' their magic and ultimately bring them down. They also receive valuable assistance from Thaddeus Bradley (Freeman), a former magician who is paid substantial amounts of money to expose magician's tricks.
I think the main problem with NYSM is that there was a distinct lack of character development. We get next to no background information on any of the magicians (the only thing we learnt is that Reeves & Atlas used to work together). This meant that I was unable to connect with any of the characters and meant that there was no-one that you cared for or felt sympathy for. The story wasn't particularly engaging and at times I felt rather bored. The acting also wasn't great and I must admit I expected more from veterans like Caine & Freeman - they were both OK, but I've seen better from both of them. I found Eisenberg to be annoying more than anything else. Fisher was OK, but nothing more than that. I was however impressed with Harrelson & Ruffalo and felt that they gave the strongest performances.
There were a couple of twists in the film which at least kept this feature slightly interesting. Also some of the visuals were great and I even enjoyed some of the magic tricks. However, for me, I need a film to be a bit more engaging, I need characters that are properly developed and characters that I'll care for. Sadly, you don't get any of that with Now You See Me.
Overall, it's OK, but it pales in comparison to films such as The Prestige & Ocean's 11. My advice would be to watch either of those films and skip this one.

First monster fight was so terrible, i was ready to see another third grade tv-show! it was a good show , had a good and acceptable ending. you don't need to make every episode like game mission but following game story even with those mixed timelines was a good choice. CGI was so bad but if we consider those game adapted projects fails in the past, it's make sense. (thanks to witcher character ,Henry cavill didn't really need to show emotion except that goofy anger.)

The first season of the "Wednesday" series fell short of expectations, delivering a predictable and exaggerated storyline that often veered into the realm of unreasonableness. Regrettably, the series failed to captivate adult audiences and was not suitable for teenagers as well.
One of the major pitfalls of the series lies in the characterization of the main protagonist, Wednesday. Her personality comes across as unconvincing and fails to establish a meaningful connection with us. Throughout the series, viewers may find it challenging to empathize with Wednesday, leaving them feeling as though they are observing a robotic figure rather than a relatable girl.
Moreover, certain scenes and characters within the series are portrayed in an exaggerated manner, lacking the depth and nuance needed for a compelling narrative. Notably, the portrayal of Wednesday's psychology sessions feels forced and unnecessary, while the decisions surrounding her dismissal and the connection between Wednesday and her ancestor come across as contrived and unconvincing.
The integration of technology within the storyline, particularly within the confines of Nevermore Academy, raises questions about its relevance and execution. The utilization of technology within the narrative feels disjointed and fails to enhance the overall storytelling experience.
Furthermore, the musical score of the series draws comparisons to the iconic "Hercule Poirot" series, albeit without capturing the essence and atmosphere that made the latter so beloved. While the music adds a touch of familiarity, it ultimately falls short of elevating the viewing experience and fails to complement the unique tone of the show.
In conclusion, "Wednesday" fails to deliver a compelling narrative and falls short of its potential. With a lackluster storyline and unconvincing character development, the series struggles to engage viewers and falls flat in its execution. As such, I would not recommend "Wednesday" to people who seeking a captivating and immersive viewing experience.

Character devolpment of Ani is so weak that nobody can understand her and it's annoying She came from nowhere and this is ridiculous part that she knows all secret with all details

I started watching Black Mirror because of all the hype and the high ratings. About 20 minutes into the first episode I decided to not waste any more time on it. I honestly do not understand the hype. This is one of the worst shows I have ever seen. Not to forget it is also one of the most disturbing shows I have ever seen. Do people really find this entertaining? Once the pig was mentioned in the first episode I was done. What kind of sick and disgusting mind would enjoy watching such a thing? This is one of the worst shows on television and it doesn't deserve an 8.9 rating. There are so many great TV shows out there that have a much lower rating than a show like this. I guess I do not understand general public opinion.

Elizabeth Olsen, than you for Old Boy. Thank you thank you!!!! Ignore negative reviews. She doesn't do bad movies. I'm not some psycho obsessed fan of hers either. I'm just a fan. Doesn't mean I have to love every movie she's in tho. I just happen to. At least ones I've wanted to see. And the ones I've wanted to see, never disappoint. And it's not like I'm only a fan of her. I'm a fan of a lot of good actors, guys & gals. Brad Pitt, Jason Statham, Scarlett Johansson etc. Could go on for days. Plenty of movies I don't like with those actors but for most part, I usually will like em cuz they great actors who chose those movies for a reason.
Just ignore the negative reviews. Some people are just negative. Should always ignore 1-2rankjngs period cuz they are clearly trolls, haters, bias reviewers or something. Then take the rest of reviews and go from there. It def gets better the deeper you go into it too.

This show was a great idea and fits into the Marvel Cinematic Universes timeline perfectly. It could be the cause for so many big bass for the new Avengers to deal with. This show could go on for a long time and because it is animated actors leaving wouldn't be a major issue. Let's look into each individual episode. Look at my reviews for each individual episode on the episodes page.

He did it again. And that means, not delivering. And not doing his job at any means. The man that killed Star Wars is on a killing spree of any known franchise or even his own creation.
He can with ease put together a high ranked class of actors and mingles them into his own twisted mediocre world of movie making and shows them off as a shadow of themselves.
Utterly bad writing, that is as boring and predictable, a passionless way of storytelling with shifting pace, makes the whole ordeal a pain to watch.
Once again it is baffling how on this platform ca be praises and so many high ranking reviews, that only show a rigged system at hand.
Hollywood truly is dead. Feed it to the streaming wolves and be over with it. Just let the art of film making die.

This movie is barely mediocre. Usually IMDB and my tastes rank spot on, but this is the biggest chasm between our ratings. Terrible people, you don't want to like a single one, boring plot and even worse ending.

Nothing new or original in this movie - we've seen it all before; almost every plot development could be predicted in advance by the viewer.
And if it were supposed to be a fantasy movie, perhaps it shouldn't be set so clearly in a 'real' American city, because then one expects real world type logic to be applied to situations. Just too many absurdities and major plot holes that detract from the movie. And the characters did nothing surprising or unexpected. The excellent Michael Shannon was wasted, IMHO. Yup he's the villain of the film; and we're constantly reminded he's the villain due to his unrelenting stream of, yes, villany. lol Many times I was left wincing at the obvious stupidity and illogic of many of the situations.
I was just amazed to see how many Oscar nominations this received; it's an ok movie (I would never RE-watch it), but nothing revolutionary or a milestone in film making, which one would think it was based on the love lavished upon it by the Academy.

This movie is so pretentious that it has the lead man not say more then two words per episode. It is so pretentious, it creates absurd situations, with ridiculous resolve. It only seems fitting, that critics would like such a series, as many of them are as pompous as the series.
| 3 |
This film is 181min long and only 5min are good. The rest is just boring...

I read the initial glowing reviews (which worryingly were all written by people who'd only just signed up to review this one show and then disappear never to be seen again) and was taken in. An interesting premise - a kind of Groundhog Day for hipsters. However despite the rising tensions that begin almost immediately the end result is messy and is lost in a sea of smugness on the writers' part.
It certainly does not need or deserve a second season which it bizarrely has got.

Kaithi (2019) : Brief Review -
A Hollywood Remake converted into a 'Blockbuster A Grade Action Drama' in Tamil Cinema. Among all the South Action films i have seen till date whether it is on Television or on Mobile, most of them had insensible and unreasonable action sequences to please masses therefore i don't have much interest to watch such films. Somehow, Kaithi made it to my watchlist because of High Rating in IMDb and Bollywood Remake announcement. Now i can say that, Yes, South can make Sensible Action Films with right contect, well executed Action sequences and perfect emotional touch. Kaithi is a fine example of A Grade Action Film (not a thriller at all) which is far far away from those unrealistic and non sense action flicks where any thin hero could take on 40 healthy villains and make them fly high with unseen hidden punches. Apart from Action Kaithi also takes care of proper plotting from the start to the end having all the conflicts at right places. The leading role is amazingly portrayed by Karthi. He was into the character from the first scene and never took it out of him whether it is action sequence or emotional scene. It would be hard for me to forget his image and see Ajay Devgn in Bollywood Remake even though Ajay Devgn is a Great Actor. Rest of the cast is okay but no effective impact from anyone. Lokesh Kanagraj direction is matured which is rare in this genre because he kept the essence and content alive. He did not fall apart for adding comedy and make it just another masala film, rather he made it thrilling which is rare. And despite little dark tone the film became a Blockbuster success which proves that Director's vision to make an original flick in an unoriginal genre was right. Finally a relief from senseless Action flicks in South Indian cinema since Bahubali and KGF.
RATING - 7/10*

I for one was not really fond of spiderman one. I felt the Script was tight and that Sam Raimi felt the burden of the big Hollywood production and did not want to screw it up. But in Spider-man 2 you can tell he lets loose.
From the script to the camera angles to the Great Knock down fights, this is the best superhero movie yet. He really let loose and put his signature looks in the movie. Tobey Maguire, while i found whiny in the first movie, really finds his nitch in the second. I felt he really grasped the character and felt confident in the role )I can't picture Jake in the role any longer). Kristin Dunst out does her self in this one, while in the first her mary jane kinda a felt forced, she shined to perfection and the end Scene where she says "Go Get 'Em Tiger" got my heart pumping. I really can't wait to see if the next movie can outshine this one... SPIDER-MAN 2 Rocks...
Oh and by the way... The Hulk is one of the worst comic movies of all time...

All this hype abt this movie for years. Sigh, I had some expectations. Turns out, nothing.
No use for me to list all the faults. What I'd like to say: check out the film "De-Lovely" instead. Made in 2004, it's everything La La Land really wanted to be for today's spidersupertransformerwhateverbatmangollum audience.
People like Cole Porter, George Gershwin etc... Some of the best songs, musicals were composed & written 50-90 yrs ago. Just listen to "Night And Day". :-)

Generally , I don't care too much when I read reviews.... But , every now & then they seem to catch the essence ! For me , it's a mistery why Marvel has become a cinematic universe...how some idio-syn-crazies are so highly regarded as movie scripts and CG's make 99 % of the rest ? Tom Hardy ? Woody Harrelson ? Just pathetic extras.... Pitty shame for all !

This is easily the best film I've seen from Judd Apatow's stable. Crude, but not dumb, and with plenty of laughs. Jonah Hill and Michael Cera provide most of the highlights. Hill in particular is funny for the whole movie, a feat that John Belushi often struggled to achieve. The only major fault is that it goes on too long, the last 20 minutes feeling drained - this is a fault it shares with "Knocked Up". As a comedy this is much better than "Juno", it also feels much more real than that overpraised cute fest. If you think that a comedy's main function is to make you laugh, then this was the best American comedy of 2008.

The moment I started watching this series, I just loved it. It was stick to the title along with all the feelings one goes through during his preparation. I watch all the web series TVF launched because they always shows something which we all go through, whether it's cubics, tripling, aspirants, kota factory and many more.

This is a review of only the first half of the movie. I stopped watching.
The script and acting were very poor. The visuals were good. But a pretty wrapped box without content still makes a bad present. You can see this movie like that.
I only watched a bunch of seriously bad and out of place jokes and some fights that cannot be taken seriously.
What more can be said about nothing?
Three stars for the CGI.

OK, four episodes in and, after reading some of the really SILLY negative reviews, I have to comment. I don't believe many of the negative nancies watched a second of this show. And really, IMDB has to do something about Robo-reviewers, because they really get ridiculous. Honestly, I read the comic when it came out and they were really bad stories. The best issue was #3 "What if the Avengers Never Existed?" This show, the best animated and voice acted (DC has been leaving Marvel in the DUST in this regard) since Fox X-Men, has been very entertaining. Obviously some 'reviewers' have totally missed that these all take place in ALTERNATE REALITIES. For those who wish a little history, DC started this idea (and really needs to make some Elseworlds, the modern variant animated movies or shows) with their 'Imaginary Stories', which is a way of looking at things from a different POV. I never realized there were so many misogynistic fans among the various fanbases-but man have they come out in droves. I really thought the 21st century was going to be better-but I am so disappointed. No one is saying that Captain America doesn't exist, but in an ALTERNATE REALITY, Captain Carter is that universes hero. Big deal? Carter was a bad-ass without the super soldier serum. So T'Challa got kidnapped by morons and became Star-Lord (I actually prefer the original Star Lord, the Peter Quill who was an astronaut and became Star Lord, but that's going waaaaay back). The Avengers never existed (My favorite episode so far, totally dominated by Sam Jackson and Tom), and now Dr. Strange who... nope. No Spoilers! I'll be editing this in the future. But so far, I'm enjoying this show-even if it is only dealing with the MCU and not the larger, comics universe. Which is too bad, because I'd like to see an X-Men and FF episode...

The series starts slow....the first episode is designed exactly like a sitcom from the 60s, the second starts to give some clues, but still nothing fast paced, but has decent humour, then the 3rd episode is sort of clumsy but gets really interesting after about 20 mins it and things start getting very intriguing and interesting.... And then comes the 4th episode!!! This episode is what gets this series a near perfect rating. Now once you watched the 4 episode you are now on the edge....but the biggest grouse is that the credits are loooooong almost over 5 mins.
Desperately waiting for the 5th episode and what follows.

With the exception of the end, the film consisted largely of unimportant and unnecessary dialogues and scenes. The film was never exciting and at 161 minutes the boredom was almost unbearable. The Hateful Eight was bad for me, but this film is even worse.

Uri is an outstanding movie, in my opinion it's among the top ten bollywood movies. Fantastically made this movie was a big success in depicting the facts and reality while maintaining the interest of viewers. Screenplay, acting, dialogues, characters were very impressive and did justice to the factual side. To cut it short, josh got superbly high after watching this movie. Uri nahi dekha to kya dekha!
| 10 |
What else to say, hmmmmmm lots of CGI, stolen plot, waaaaaaay to long.
Pretty sure this paved the way for the modern lazy film writer. Why bother when you can rip off another film and do world class special effects. Might as well look at a computer screensaver for three hours.
World class special effects. Nothing else going on.

People !! MARVEL its lowering the quality of movies because still watch them, the movie is good to be a popcorn movie but its a bad movie, poor story, poor acting, bad directing, bad fx.
Not a good movie, but if you want to watch something you will enjoy and then forget it a couple hours after, its a cool movie.

Must watch movie of Bollywood. Outstanding performance by all cast and great direction by Neeraj Pandey sir.

But I do not think seeing them would have helped this AT ALL for me. I truly thought it sucked. And I was really looking forward to seeing it. Had to wait until it was free on streaming. I did not even finish it. My son watched it separately from me, not knowing my opinion, and he had come to the same conclusion. He did not finish it either.

Forget the lingering cold weather and winter skies. The summer has officially arrived with CA:TWS! The first movie was a hit-and-miss affair that really served as a place holder until the Avengers. The Winter Soldier far exceeds the original in every way, showing how a recently-unfrozen 90-year-old reacts to the technology and politics of the 2000s. True, I am undeniably biased and utterly impressed with the cinematic universe Marvel has created. Still, with Iron Man and The Avengers, this is one of the better Marvel Universe films, one with gigantic implications for the entire franchise. It takes place a couple years after The Avengers, with Steve Rogers trying to find his place within SHIELD and modern America. But a new mysterious villain, Winter Soldier, is taking down everyone close to him. It plays on the 70s espionage thriller genre with verve and nostalgia, with the stakes always high and always felt. It asks big questions like, which matters more to us: our freedom or our safety? As this blast of intrigue and mystery begins to unfold, our yearning for fantastic action and hand-to-hand combat is fully fulfilled in what may be the most action-packed Marvel movie yet. Johansson and Jackson both play their roles as strongly as ever, but what truly makes Captain America work is Evans. He doesn't play Cap like Superman, but instead injects vulnerability and naiveté into the superhero. He's taken seriously. This leads to a bit of corny nostalgia and some moments of slight boredom, but overall CA:TWS is an action packed blast that is a must for any fan of the Marvel universe.

Gravity is possibly the most overrated movie I've watched in recent years. Yes it has great CGI, the visuals are stunning, but I think I payed for a movie...This has absolutely no plot, no character development, no story...And an Oscar nomination for Sandra Bullock to look scared and breath heavily...are you serious?! The above is fair warning to those, like me, who think that are going to watch a movie...You're going to watch something that would be a great space documentary. If you wanna be blow away with stunning visuals this is for you. The best CGI I've seen to this day, the attention to detail in every little thing and it really takes you somewhere if you watch it in 3D it looks like you're in the middle of the action. That being said, it is an experience, but not a movie experience. It would be something to try in Disneyland or some amusement park, because it is a ride...It's just not a movie. It is impossible for me to spoil it, because it has no plot to spoil, I can't tell you anything you don't already know going in. I give it a 6/10, because I kinda enjoyed the ride, and it deserves credit for its visuals, but this is, by far, 2013 most overrated movie.

Somewhat-overrated suspense film with 'colorful' Hollywood overtures involves Ben Affleck as Tony Mendez, real-life exfiltration specialist for the CIA whose bold plan in 1980 it was to get six Americans home from strife-ridden Iran, where they have been in-hiding since November 1979 when the U.S. Embassy was stormed by protesters over the CIA's involvement in Iranian politics. Mendez concocts a genuinely flamboyant plan--disguising the terrified group as Canadian filmmakers in the country to do pre-production work for a science-fiction film--but nothing about Affleck's leadweight performance suggests this kind of imaginative thinking. Affleck, who also co-produced and directed the film, does a good job at laying out the complicated scenario, however his button-pushing tactics at the final gate (leading to a nick-of-time climax) are a bit cheap. Audiences may feel the good will, and certainly the milieu is vividly captured. Alan Arkin, as a passed-his-prime movie producer, and John Goodman, as a Hollywood makeup artist, are both fine in support, though this section of the picture is undernourished. **1/2 from ****

Daredevil has to quietly be one of the best things on Netflix. A proper TV series which has you gripped all the way. If you are a fan of the comics then you will have a rough idea on the plot points etc, however if you're like me, who has no knowledge, it's quite a ride. The writing and acting is amazing, especially from Charlie Cox (Daredevil) and Vincent D'Onofrio (Wilson Fisk) who both pull off excellent performances. Just finished watching series 3, and oh my word it only gets better. Season 1 is my personal favourite but all seasons are very strong. Daredevil is a much watch, and if you don't think it's miles ahead of any marvel show on Netflix (Punisher is very good) then you are just wrong. A must watch.

As I watched this I kept saying to myself "man, this is a total ripoff of Happy Valley". Grandma cop, raising her grandkid, relative living with her to help out, kid (child's parent) committed suicide -- like COME ON! Then I learned that it actually IS "partially based" on that BBC series. So, as I guess the "american version" of Happy Valley, this is fine. I mean, we've certainly "based" countless shows on prior British ones, going all the way back to the 70's and All in the Family.
"Happy Valley" has stuck with me ever since I streamed it on Netflix (now it's on DiscoveryPlus). The storyline is far more riveting and edge-of-your-seat than Mare. DEFINITELY watch this show!
Plus it's got Siobhan Finneran as one of the main characters (The ex-addict sis who lives with her - a role that won her the british emmy), who previously played the evil maid O'Brien on Downtown. I seek out and watch most anything she's in. Sarah Lancashire is outstanding in the lead, as always (even moreso than Kate Winslet). And if you find you like HV... then go stream "Last Tango in Halifax" over on Netflix to see Sarah in another Sally Wainwright series that's wildly different and funny - plus it also stars Nicola Walker as the icing on that cake.
So.... go watch Happy Valley (which is rumored to be filming the final season in 2022)... then go stream Last Tango in Halifax after that :-)
Having been raised in NJ and lived in eastern PA a bit as a kid... I really enjoyed the setting of Mare. I hope they decide to have another season.

"Barbie" - a movie that promised so much but delivered so little. I can't believe a film with such a beloved character could turn out to be this boring and devoid of any intelligence. It's simply a horrible cinematic experience, and I can't stress enough how much you won't miss if you choose to skip it. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that staring at a blank wall for two hours would be a more efficient use of your time.
This movie isn't just a disappointment; it's a disaster on multiple levels. It fails to cater to any age group - not for kids, not for teenagers, and certainly not for adults. It left me with the same feeling of disillusionment as "Matrix 4" and the final part of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." It's baffling to see what's happening in the American film industry lately. Writers, producers, and directors seem to have lost touch with what makes a great movie, consistently churning out films that do nothing but disappoint.
In the case of "Barbie," it's a classic example of how a beloved character can be mishandled on the big screen. Instead of bringing the magic of Barbie to life, this film manages to strip away everything that makes her special. Save yourself from this cinematic travesty and explore the countless other films that will truly entertain and delight. "Barbie" is not worth your time or your affection for the iconic doll.

The plot isn't terrible. But everything else is an absolute mess. Someone wrote the script, chucked it in a blender, shook it up with some rubble, and taped it back together in whatever order they pulled it out. I like most of these actors, and action films, and yet this is just so, so awful. I will never ever watch this again for enjoyment.
| 2 |
I really don't know where to begin with this. Disappointed is a word that keeps coming to mind. After years of being told I HAVE to watch The Matrix (I know I saw it as a child when it first came out but honestly couldn't remember anything more than the green coding) I've come out of this feeling confused, frustrated, and stupid for not understanding half the movie.
Some good casting choices. A handful of good performances. However the movie far longer than it needed to be, far more confusing than was necessary, and all in all has left me feeling it's wildly overrated. Worth a watch if you have a few hours to kill and are curious I guess.

Typical Disney slapstick style of comedy (late 90's to early 2000's style of typical garbage early teens sitcoms) I genuinely think Paul Bettany is a very underated actor, and this is really beneath him. But I guess the amount of money Disney would of ploughed into this garbage it must of been a attractive offer, Paul your better than this!!! And yet here are all of us muppets paying for a Disney+ subscription to be subjected to this.
Even from the get go it was hard to get a grasp of the characters if you haven't watched the movies
Realistically there should of been some kind of tie in with the movies as it is missing a complete narrative perspective from what happend in end game...
Maybe a bit of a bac story would of surficed such as wanda travelling back in time before thanks gets the mind stone and saving vision and her time device malfunctions on the way back and gets stuck in the shows era.....
Poor attempt at putting together that I was looking forward to watching in this current pandemic due to delays on films being released ect...
Please don't mess up the other potential "needy" series revolving the avengers ect...
You definitely need to rethink your storyboards and make it accessible to everyone who hasn't even watched a marvel film

I appreciated Talk to Me, thankfully, since I actually paid for it in the theater. I was curious about the high ratings and simply hadn't seen a horror film on the big screen in a few months. I was not disappointed, though I also was not wowed or blown away. I don't consider Talk to Me a ten, because you do have to plod through a good 15-20 minutes of Gen Z college kid stuff to get to the good parts. As a Millennial, I look on such films with trepidation, expecting them to be kiddie high school horror. However, Talk to Me has the subtlety of 1970s supernatural horror flick with its ordinary awkward, suffering people who are neither exceptionally beautiful nor wealthy nor popular, but overall just average and sort of likable.
Yet there are 90s vibes, younger Gen Z and older Millennials as well as younger Gen X may feel right at home with the way the main characters dress and behave though they have smart phones.
None of these homages to the 1970s or 1990s are overt, everything about this film is subtle, in fact so subtle a certain segment of the viewing audience might find it boring or nothing special.
However it is this average-ness, this subtlety, that makes Talk to Me genuinely scary. You're there for every moment of chipping Mia's nail polish or agonizing in the hospital over Riley. You start to wonder if people self-destruct due to malignant spirits instead of due to mental illness, a very old theme presented in a refreshingly relatable way.
I did not expect the end at all.

WOW! , I am from Nagpur and I am simply amazed by watching this movie Jhund, everything is so real and relatable in it, to make a movie like this one needs to do alot of reasearch and must have awareness about the ground reality, it's the truth and reality that appeals the audience and connects people with the movie, exceptional work done my movie makers , Amazing acting done by Amitabh Sir and the kids were so natural in their acting, this movie deserves to get nominated for Oscars.

This series is nothing but degrading MEN in all episodes.
Apart from this feminism point, storyline is totally weak and they lost the plot completely.
They didn't stick to the single case like 'Criminal Justice' but they have shown too many cases which actually seemed too boring.
In short, they tried to show advocates' life and their routine, nothing else.
They have shown how judges do their work and how the courtroom functions. But they lost the main point and it is the storyline.
As I've said earlier, they are just degrading MEN and tried to show that WOMEN are MEN's toy and their puppet.
But in real life, they forgot about the article 498A which is used by WOMEN endlessly to drag MEN to the court unnecessarily.

I wasted a hour & 3 minutes watching this movie for nothing... I didnt get the plot of it and most of it was boring... They had the right actors but it was very horrible... Worst movie of 2018!

Jennifer Lawrence's Red Sparrow spy is surely, no James Bond. Or Jason Bourne. Or Jack Bauer. Or even, for the older folks, Emma Peel. But that's all good.
Based on Jason Matthews' novel, the actress stars as a Russian rookie secret agent who's more liable to use sex as a weapon than, say, a switchblade in her stiletto - though the film is still plenty violent.
Red Sparrow veers from its genre by focusing on methodical spycraft and juggling emotions; unlike Charlize Theron in last year's Atomic Blonde, Lawrence is seducing people instead of kicking them in the face.
Though the film may tickle a little, but in contrast to pumped-up espionage potboilers like "Atomic Blonde" or "Salt," Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie have gone through the motions of imitating male action stars at their most kick-ass grandiose. They're slickly "empowered" women, yet it's hard to distinguish that power from the thriller-video decadence of 21st-century action filmmaking.
In the elegantly tense and absorbing "Red Sparrow," on the other hand, Jennifer Lawrence portrays a cunningly desperate human being - or, at least, enough of one that each scene rotates around the choices she makes, the way she appraises and seizes the destiny of the moment. Lawrence, in this movie, shows you what true screen stardom is all about.
It's a fun watch.

Not and Avengers fan here but Infinity war was surprisingly good. Very good even thanks to the complexity of Thanos.
They just messed it up in Endgame. Gone the complexity of Thanos. Captain Marvel"s intervention is just lazy writing.
Too long. Boring.
And Falcon??? Seriously???

This is a terrible trend, these days.
It's like they want to save on the budget of superhero series, and so they just use a couple of scenes to establish that the characters have superpowers, but 95% of the time, the characters are merely talking about terribly boring, everyday stuff, that no one cares about, and watches superhero series to get AWAY from...
This series is trash.
Every facet of the story lacks detail, and so do the characters.
A complete waste of time.

Had a great time watching this... if I exclude all the communist ideology of which this show was almost not fully but partially stands on this one was a great watch... .
Got goosebumps then felt bit emotional at scenes loved the new cap and cap 2.0 bucky Overall a good watchable series .
No harsh feelings that's just my personal opinion.

I am a huge fan of the HP universe but I was so fed up after watching this that I had to review it.
Visuals were, as always, stunning. Apart from that, there is very little else to tell. I have been so disappointed with the fantastic beasts franchise that I have fallen asleep during both films!
Some amazing talent on show but such awful writing that it isn't worth getting big names involved - except to draw audiences wilhich I honestly think is the only reason they are.
I can officially say I am now washing my hands of this part of the film series as it is so disappointing. Hint to whoever is making the next one... DON'T BOTHER!

I really want to give this thing a higher rating but the show forces me not to. I mean they have really good CGI and an interesting looking space ship along with spectacular scenery. I like the appearance of the robot. OK, it is a guy in a suit a lot but I can take that. The cast isn't stellar but neither was the cast on the original.
What gets me is that there is no real plot development. It's all one giant puzzle box. Something goes wrong with the ship's fuel so they have to resolve that. Then something goes wrong with the this and with that - stuck getting out of one trick after another. They aren't humans making decisions. They are forced along the way to every step.
I remember the original series well. It was sappy but they had far more true decision making than this - especially in the first year. This - yuck.
I also am horrified how the whole show is politically correct Hollywood pap. They are LOST IN SPACE on an alien planet with who knows what kind of horrors and oh so Hollyweird politically correct Maureen Robinson won't even let John Robinson have a weapon to defend themselves against whatever kind of creature or monster or alien or whatever is out there. Anyone that unable to accept real life and death on an alien world would never have been allowed in space.

Almost better than the first movie! I was worried when I saw that the movie was only about 90 minutes long but it's a perfect length for this movie. First one was actually too long in my opinion.
| 8 |
Season 3 is wretched. Period. We have no idea what the plot is, what the characters are mumbling about, even with.the sound bar and closed captioning turned on. It's absolutely a pointless season full of horrible dialog and really, really bad contact lenses. We managed to stomach our way through all by the last two episodes. We'll probably get through this series and totally remove it from our Netflix lists.
We LOVED the first season. Liked the second season. But wow... what a train wreck this third season is! Characters from previous seasons are back; but nothing worth mentioning other than they add nothing to a very disjointed and indiscernible plot.
| 1 |
Let's get it out of the way: yes, it's not perfect. There are some special effects that don't look so special. Few details here and there, for sure. Original? Not quite. But this is a 10. It cannot be less than a 10.
First of all, it's pure nostalgia. The bikes, the clothes, the music, the board games; the vibe of that era is all there. Make no mistake, the main character of this series is not 011 – it's the 80's.
The casting is stellar – everyone, but specially 011, shine on screen. The direction, the photography, the pace – everything just works. And nothing feels like filler.
It takes something special to have Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro praise it. Believe us; it is.
By the time of this writing, Netflix is yet to confirm S2. Even if it doesn't come, this was a breath of fresh air to television (it's not really television, but you know what I mean.)
| 7 |
Okay I understand this is a "classic" and was cutting edge for its time and was one of the first movies to be filmed this way, but that shouldn't excuse the fact it was extremely boring with no clear story line. It's 2 hours of loud sound effects and jazz music.

I rarely turn off a movie however I lasted 30 mins and turned this off due to boredom.
This is basically yet another computer game as movie expedition, however this one is strictly for the gamers. It will only be of interest to you if you are heavily into gaming to get the references and understand just what is being talked about.
This stands in stark contrast to Ready Player One and Tron, which while using games as a backdrop for good story telling. Free Guy is just basically a CGI showcase filled with nerd speak and has no time for anyone who doesn't spend their time gaming.
Its obvious that its gamers who are upvoting this trash....this is not even an average movie.
For gaming nerds only.

Growing up I hated musicals; I admit do was never mu genre,
later as a teen we had awful programmes like Fame with blokes prancing around in legwarmers haha. This kinda reminds me of that in some ways, cringeworthy.
Altho I also get tired of war movies, explosions and car chases I was hoping for a nuclear catastrophe soon after the opening scene.
Sick buckets required if you are forced to sit through this with the more feminine half of the relationship

Interesting story that was told with a jumbled uneven style that was painful to watch at times. I'm not sure why all the 10 stars reviews. It's very well acted and shot beautifully but the story telling style was painful at times and sometimes cringe worthy. It didn't read the original source material so maybe it originally appeared this way but it's translation to a serialized Netflix program just didn't click for me. The characters are very flawed and by no means Super Heroes just youngsters with extraordinary abilities by birth or medical alterations. All in all it's worth watching for its quirkinesses

There's no way HOTD could get so many reviews and especially on single episodes. The reviews of HBO shows always get distorted, 'cause HBO sets only one episode online in a week, so the reviews stack. Which means one person writes one review per episode.
But besides that: The show's story really started in episode 6. Which is too late. The CGI is ok. But CGI isn't everything. Show's have to start to build their story in first episodes. And this show failed with that. HOTD messes everything up with time jumps and always changing characters. Some characters are great but most are poorly written. 1/10.

I love everything about season 1 of the show. It's funny, it's intelligent, it's just great entertainment. Season 2 though.... it's just a childish story about two lesbians and turns two great friends from season 1 into tragic gay lovers. I've had enough of LGBT forced upon me EVERYWHERE. I'm actually cancelling my amazon prime subscription just as I did with others. If you must watch than just stick to season 1 and quit after watching it. I'm really troubled by the fact that one of my favourite shows turned into another crazy rainbow propaganda. Thank you very much. I'm done with this nonsense.

The title of the film and its director were clearly enough to warrant seeing this one. But I was annoyed at how poor the acting was, and the incessant ultra-sharp close-ups of bad actors speaking mindless dialog made it too hard to watch more than the first half. While the storyline had a decent premise, its portrayal was shallow at best.
There was almost no character development and no one you could identify with, which made it a bit better than a SNL skit. While the photography was good, it was put too bad use unless you like watching bimbos and greedy nerds frolic in cartoonish and gratuitous sex scenes.
This wolf was a total dog. I'm not a great lover of Oliver Stone flicks, but his "Wall Street" puts this one to shame.

It is almost ironic that I was going to avoid this movie because I did not want to see anything too "violent".
The movie opens with a great scene, very Eighties, with appropriate Marvin Gaye score and reference to "Rocky". Unfortunately, that is the only glory moment. After having built up great expectations, the plot moves quickly downhill, excavating well past rock bottom.
The glacially paced story is about an oil trader who wants to expand his business, but must face "violent" competition. However, the violence perpetrated boils down to beating and threatening. It may be scary enough in real life, but from the title one expects much worst when in fact the most violent action is perpetrated off-screen, on an innocent deer.
Besides the slow-motion approach, what I disliked more is the unbearable pretentiousness. This movie takes itself so seriously, as if it is the new Godfather, while it is just an overlong, non-gangster story.

This series is very funny and shows a great family relationship, which, like the actors, has aged and matured over time, I just think that some characters could have had more prominence and evolution.

Overall, a very pleasant experience. I've been enjoying nothing from the Hindi film business for a long time. It's like a breath of fresh air, this.
Although it has certain flaws-the storyline and direction should have been a little more tense-it is still a fun movie all around.
I'm in awe of how talented these people are-Rajkumar, Huma, Radhika Sikander, and everyone else-in contrast to today's overhyped, media-made "A listers," who lack talent.
For me personally, Huma and Sikander were a major revelation. I sincerely hope and pray that they receive the justice they deserve.
We are everyone aware of Rajkumar and Radhika's abilities, and they always perform flawlessly! Exceptionally talented people.

Where to begin?Show was a mess... the plot, storytelling and writing were all over the place jumping from timeline to timeline and from place to place..it felt really disjointed,there was no setting at all...dialogues were really really bad...CGI was like absolute trash for a netflix production...the series felt more like an anthology,showing a different story or quest every other episode and that confused me a lot...music meeeh...I mean i get it .Ive played witcher 3 and i am a big fan but the music just wasnt right in certain cirmcunstances...it felt really forced to be honest...i wont even comment on the bard..most annoying character in a tv show ive ever seen...and of course i wont even talk about the law of surprise and yes yes i get it...its from the witcher books and all that but its completely cringe and stupid and i honestly have to critic the series,not the books...the director made a huge mess...i can admit though that cinematography was great and the choreography was amaaazing .. Henry cavill did a great job with all that and to be honest he was the only well-directed character...the rest were just whatever the hell...felt like all the episodes were fillers...at least the last one kinda added all the mess together and made it so it has a bit of a sense...great costumes by the way...it just disapponited that it gave such a bad vague glimpse of this amazing fantasy universe..finally something that annoyed the freak out of me was the words of expression..the language and the jokes...i mean they used this: living off the grid..i didnt know medieval fantasy europe had electrical grids..really bad ..the dialogues felt like there were taken out of our era and placed into this one....very mediocre show for the hype built around it
e.g Acting was ok

The Godfather: Part II is just as good as the original. Alternating between the current story of Michael Corleone and his crime enterprise and the roots of the family business, a young Vito Corleone in Italy, the audience is treated to a second-helping of an already fantastic story. Viewers get to see more history behind the beloved characters, while at the same time, the story continues to develop. Michael continues to expand the Corleone family business while faced with betrayal, inner-family conflict, and legal trouble.
The Godfather II continues the themes portrayed in the first film in the series. Loyalty, devotion to family, and defending the down-trodden remain essential to the story and characters, and as before, these features are displayed against a backdrop of vigilantism. There is a duality with helping those in need and putting your family first, while at the same time, using evil or illegal methods against others. The Godfather II walks the line between these opposing ideals perfectly.
Anyone who enjoyed the first film will most likely enjoy the second just as much. It is simply more of a good thing. The running time may be long for some viewers, but the movie is good enough that you'll barely notice.

Although gripping, I found this series very frrustrating to watch. Why is it that directors allow actors to constantly speak in whispers, especially in series three? I ran it through surround sound with speakers on high just to try to get the dialogue with constant rewinds, but when an action event came on it was deafening, which spoiled what should have been decent entertainment. I would advise skipping episode six, series three, as it's just a compilation of clippings and a complete waste of time.

First of all to compare this to 'Cursed' you have got to be an idiot. It is so far removed it is ridiculous. The cgi is totally different in every regard. The plot is different in every regard. I guess because both have swords and are on netflix, they must be directly comparable? In all other terms its apples to oranges. Like the title mentions I thought s1 was better than s2 but the truth is all i want is to see more adventures of Geralt and Jaskier. The 'toss a coin to your witcher' song alone earns this show a solid 6 stars but I think the storyline is incredible, the action is incredible, the character building is great. Just enough obscurity and mystery and just enough of an explanation to keep you wondering what will happen. I think the action is amazing, I love the incorporation of fighting the beasts and monsters, rather mysterious powers and taking potions to enhance them. This show has really made me want to read the Witcher novels just to get more Witcher action!

The movie losts it's taste when madam secretary died , poor ending too and somewhat short, it could've had a few more episodes I give this movie an 80%
| 8 |
This is certainly not Harry Potter or anything like it. I gave it a 4 because the story-line is convoluted, the movie is long and dull with very few substantial scenes or narrative to keep the viewer enthralled. The sound of Eddie Redmayne's voice is also so muffled that it's sometimes hard to discern what he's saying.
I wish I could relate in my review what the story is about but it was so convoluted that I lost track. The movie also goes overboard on the special effects and quite frankly I've seen enough movies with monsters and aliens rampaging through the streets of a city and demolishing buildings and parks - is all that grand destruction really necessary? Save your money for the DVD release.

This movie was filled with a star studded cast and the acting was good, but wtf happened to the plot? There was none. Even though I enjoyed the movie to some degree, i had no idea what the movie was actually about. There was literally no storyline. I was quite disappointed despite the good actors.

Season 1 was one of the better Marvel series. There was a plot twist, a revelation a compelling plot... it was a worthwhile watch.
Season 2 is an attempt to cash in on the success of season 1, but it's an empty vessel. There really is no substance here. They want you to buy into it, but there's nothing to see.
Loki wants to save TVA. Why?
Sylvie prefers to see it destroyed then has a change of heart. Other characters are superfluous undeveloped and shallow.
Aside from that there is a whole lot of pointless teleporting around, centred around the characters of He Who Renains and Renslayer. What is Renslayer's role or history? Do we know or care? Is this some elaborate plot to restore Kang the Conqueror in this time line? Who knows. Whatever it is, you'll have to spend money on the next tired MCU movies to find out.
What you can be sure of is that this series is simply filler in between MCU movies and MCU is already worn out and ready for retirement. The Cash Cow is worn out. The movies have largely been a disaater since End Game and it's time to call it a day.

Although this ended just as the golden age of Nick's ratings got underway, it still stands out as the best content of its era. While most children's cartoons disregard any semblance of an overarching plot or character development, Avatar focused heavily on developing and fleshing out its characters, and it paid off.
You see the characters transform before your eyes as they battle for the fate of the planet, and you become emotionally invested in them. And although much is made of Zuko's development in particular, I find Azula's transformation to be even better done, especially with the animation of her and how it changes with her mind state.
I have never seen another cartoon come to the level of writing or wisdom that Avatar offers, and I doubt I ever will.

A true masterpiece, its arguably the best film ever made in terms of drama and screenwriting. An absolute delight to see Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, the classical duo of acting.
| 10 |
The most redeeming quality was directing/cinematography. That alone made it an amazing film. Acting was faultless too. Loved all the high profile people and their subtle roles. The story was amazing and felt so real, which I think was the goal. I think the point of the movie was to show war in real light rather than the spotlight of entertainment. To show how terrible it is. And if that was the goal they accomplished it. Beautiful scenes and story just not the most entertaining.

The Greatest Showman, directed by Michael Gracey, is a star-studded musical which blesses our eyes with Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya The movie starts with the character of Hugh Jackman, P.T Barnum, as a poor child who dreams of making it big to marry the girl of his dreams, Charity - the daughter of the man that he works for As it progresses, we see P.T marry Charity and have two wonderful daughters all the while trying to make it big to prove Charity's father that he's a husband worthy of having. P.T has an idea of opening a museum, which fails but her daughters suggest that his museum needs more life and "alive" things. So, P.T auditions for people with unique characteristics that will attract audiences and sees his museum transform into a circus. Now there are some technical and narrative problems in the overall film. To begin with, there is a clear lack of depth in plot and story. For instance, the film ditches exploring various characters' lives. For instance, it barely skims over the main plot points to give us a summarised, not to mention historically inaccurate, view of P.T Barnum's life. So what could have been an adventure of a film, the writers instead chose to make it appeal to a mass-audience and in the process gave us a hardly memoriable story. Secondly, I can't help but say it, that the movie uses its songs only to tighten it grip on the audiences' attention. The musical numbers were forgettable, loud and for the most part glossy. Although, the choreography was decent if not brilliant. The fact that most of the acting performances were too sweet-mouthed and cringy also never helped TGS's cause. Zac Efron managed to shine, Zendaya as well, but Hugh Jackman gave a very ordinary performance and relied on his star power for the most part. Most dialogues were melodramatic and the presence of the extras struggled to contribute to the feel-goody nature of the film. The screenplay had some cliched plot points: a love triangle; the rise, fall and eventual rise of P.T Barnum. The predictability created disinterest and caused the film to fall flat on its wheels by the time the painfully long third act even began.

Did not make it through the first episode so maybe it got better I don't know or care. What I did see was long on drama but short on action / story. In the end as an entertainment, unless you enjoy depressing grim stuff, it fails. It also seems to be another of those hard bitten bitter and cynical cop shows with a female lead. Drama does not equal story IMHO.
| 2 |
The story was so bad I don't even have pity for it.
Science and any reality are completely tossed out the window in this film. Alfonso Cuarón doesn't even try to have something remotely believable. There was talk about them creating suits and special effects that realistically portray current life in space. All lies, I could have overlooked some bending of the rules, but they tossed them all out.
The characters themselves are supposed to be trained astronauts, but not one second of on screen time shows this. Most of the time they are incompetent, then magically they can fly a ship they have little, or no experience with like they've done it all their lives. When Sandra Bullock's character is almost out of oxygen, George Clooney character is there trying to make sure she uses up as much of it as she possibly can.
The only good thing I can say about this movie is that the special effects house did a wonderful job on making things pretty.

I liked this series when it first aired on TV. But as a watched it one week after the other I began to dislike more and more. The writing was OK. The concept can seem to be ideal of television. Eventually I find myself thinking that this is the worst type of fiction television, where a viewer has to watch every single episode of a series for the show at all to make any sense. I love the well written television series that deal with a story on its own each week and get to know the characters that way. You don't have to watch every single episode to understand the last couple of episodes. This is what I don't like at about shows like 24.
The first three seasons weren't badly written. I won't say that it was well written. This is not, after all, Robert Ludlum or Ken Follett. But the writing on the last two seasons were so dismal. The characters were supposed to be professionals, the best of their field in the world. Why then did they do many almost criminally bad mistakes, one after another, the last ten or so episodes? The stories were dragged to the extreme just to fit it in 24 episodes. There is also another matter. With the main characters being awake all night, fighting, hacking networks, and other stuff that they do, none seemed to even remotely tired after doing that for 10, 14, 17, even 20 hours.
It is an interesting concept about real time stories being put into action, but I think that it would be much better, both story wise and credibly wise, that the stories was 12 hours or something like that. The storied didn't have to drag and could be more tightly written, and the characters didn't have to look like they didn't know what they were doing.
I guess with this commentary I haven't joined the praise of this show and am therefore in the minority, but I felt that I had to disagree with the majority when I feel this way about it.

It's not a bad film, if you don't mind or can ignore the chest beating American rubbish in the storyline.
Jennifer Lawrence is OK, although it is a part that could have been played by any reasonable actress, I don't think she brought anything particularly special to the role.
There are some heavyweight actors in the cast that really carry the story despite the two things I mentioned - so it is worth watching if nothing else is on TV.

Last season was totally unnecessary, annoying and so boring that I quit watching it. This show was interesting only until the end of season 2. Not as bad as the ending of GoT, but almost...

When Pesci calls Deniro kid that did it for me. Joe looks 75 and Bob looks 60. Everyone wants it to be a masterpiece, but it's not. These guys are waaaay past their prime, even the Mob dumps guys this old. The effects are laughable, and the so called acting by the numbers. Even Harvey Keitel couldn't help. It's time we all accept the days of these guys doing mob movies are far gone. Sorry, but The Departed was Scorsese's last and best, and that's 16 years ago, with much younger actors and updated plot for the new millennium. This is dated, boring, and basically it just sucks. The glory days of the mob are long over, as was the plot of this fan baiting drivel.

It's not really the same story as the wizard, it's loosely based on him there is so little of books and games here it's slow, shallow, poorly written, with no intention of improving it's a bait, it's a generic netflix fantasy.

S1 was really good 7/10. It was different, weirdly funny. Josh and Eliza were the highlight of the show really awesome
S2: Miserable,Terrible, Horrible. What made S1 best was team effort. They separated the whole team, put them in single feature boring episodes. Josh was absent for 50% of episodes,why?
Eliza and Derick are constantly fighting and it becomes so repetitive. Introduction of worthless characters, constantly fighting old issues and conflicts solved already. The daughter twist, Stu horrible.

The movie is a mix of good and annoyance. I would consider it as poor direction and storyline.
Watching the movie you would wonder who Grace is and why she is being protected despite multiple deceptions from her end. Why Ethan is super slow in responses as if shocked like a deer in front if headlights, why he is sparing everyone just so that if gives them a chance to hit back. Why Grace keeps driving her tiny yellow car in circles around the fountain iwhile being chased s just laughingly childish and completely stupid. The movie could have been much better if directed by an adult. It's worth watching only once and that's it....ever!

What an epic start! Script, acting, direction, photography and etc. The only con I have is that I'd like one episode more to enhance the story now in the beginning.

Saw this movie and was going to give a vote of 7-8 for it for the entertainment. After reading some feedback and also done some research on the facts, I was a bit upset regarding the historical content change. The media is a very powerful force and despite what I have read regarding Mr Affleck's desire to make a movie for entertainment, this is not an excuse to falsely affect people's perception of real historical events.
Imaging if I didn't do some further reading on the matter, I would have had a blinkered understanding of the events in Iran.
Also for some good insight into the Iranian culture, and to see a fantastic film, watch "A Separation" ! Cheers.
