I like Tom's Loki in the movies so I was pretty excited about the show. But too much of a good thing is sometimes just too much. The show goes around in circles and spends six episodes on a story that could have been done in one two hour movie.

My younger kids got me the series DVD for my birthday after hearing me talking about it. Now during lockdown, we have been watching and the kids and grandkids are hooked. We stopped watching our Marvel marathon to binge this. Crazy to think when we originally watched this with our older kids who now have kids of their own it lasted 3 years, now we are finishing the series in a couple of weeks.

The first Guardians was great. It was unexpected, fresh, funny, with exciting characters and a decent story. For the sequel they kept the characters, but the jokes were forced (I only had a few laughs), the characters, although they were the same, became much less likable, and there was hardly any story. It was boring, and after the first hour or so, I was eagerly waiting for the movie to end. While in the first film the old school music was a clever tool to create a unique atmosphere, in this one it quickly became tired, as the movie was too heavily relying on it. Also, they used waaaaay too much exposition. Almost everything you learn about the characters, their backstories and the plot itself, they tell you through dialogue. (That's poor writing.) One more thing that really bothered me (among many other things) was Sean Gunn. He is clearly not a good actor, but for some reason (probably because he's the director's brother) he got much more screen time than in the first film. And it didn't work. Just like most of the movie.
3/10

While the movie starts off really nicely, and I enjoyed watching it throughout, I knew immediately when I'd watched it, that this isn't a movie I'm going to remember, or, for that matter, watch again.
It contains several beautiful scenes with good visuals and camera/lighting work. Also, it mimics some of that 1960s feel, coupled with the bizarre, futuristic science-fiction elements. This is the central element of what should make this movie memorable. And it does it well in setting it up.
However, when the plot gets going, it turns out to be all too familiar. The naive, goodhearted protagonist, decides to step up and help a poor creature, which has been captured by the evil antagonist.
The movie suffers from painting such a simplistic picture of the characters. As the plot is so basic, the movie needs to be carried by its characters. And where the protagonist is a goodhearted, socially isolated and awkward woman, the antagonist is a brutal, sadistic, sexistic, and patriotic american male, who despises the Russians.
There is a certain feeling of forced 'social justice' in the plot. The evil, white man is up against a group of kind-hearted minorities: two women -- one deaf and one black -- together with two men -- one gay and one Russian -- set out to save a strange, but good, amphibian creature. But this generic caricature isn't really interesting, challenging, or original.
And this makes the movie as such neither interesting, challenging, nor original.

This is a tense show. I wouldn't call it horror but it still keeps one at edge. Great acting! Anything Jason Bateman involved in turns out pretty great lately. Well worth your time. Go ahead and binge! Watched it twice.

This is not "Wiedzmin". Ridiculous.
Do not waste your time for this tv show - read the books!

This is just stupid. Spider man and all characters act like they are 6 years old. I understand that they want teenagers to watch and adapt to the series and spider man himself is teenager but it was always like this. Spiderman was young but it doesnt act like childish and stupid. They really killed the char in my opinion what a waste

Oh god, what a movie it is. Enjoyed every bit every minute of the movie. So much thrill, so much suspense in this movie absolutely amazing movie. And i guarantee you that you will feel extremely excited watching this movie and after so many twist and turns you can't say what could be the ending of the movie. And the song " Yeh ek zindagi kaafi nahi hai is just amazing ". Absolutely worth watching. It gives you a vibe of old and retro movies but definately you are going to be stunned after watching this movie. And the moral of the story: their are so many snakes around you in your real life also and they can bite you anytime.

You know when you watch a terrible movie and despite you are sleepy you get online to give the movie one star. This is the one!

Cringey acting, woeful storyline, useless cgi, enchanting clouds, horrible jokes, boring script, awful casting.
Like a bad version of doctor who. Loki ruined as a character. I have absolutely no idea how people are rating this 10/10. The ratings for this genuinely feel fake.

One may think of this show as an illustration of what is wrong with modern TV and comedy. It tries to be daring and innovative, while staying completely inoffensive to anyone, except decrepit white pensioneers clinging to their Bibles - that's the single category of citizenry allowed to be insulted.
As a result, it is completely inane and unfunny.
The cast is as multicultural and diverse as it could be, with little thought spared for matching the actors to the characters, and so the whole series is a mish-mash of miscasts, celebrating their distinct appearances rather than playing the role in an ordinary sense.
Two leading actors are superb on their own, but their performance is all over the place as well. Michael Sheen is oddly subdued and underperforms, while David Tennant displays an array of impersonations while not hitting any particular groove. Their duo seems erratic and mentally unstable.
While watching the fourth episode I caught myself thinking that I am wasting my time and trying to suppress the overall disappointment.

I still can't believe that this show has over 7 stars on IMdB. Most comments giving 2-4 stars. How's that possible??? :/

"Fargo" was not 1996's best film, it was one of the worst (not as bad as "Independence Day" though). One of the film's problems, I think, is that the quality of of the characters is very poor. "A Simple Plan" has been called another "Fargo" but there is no comparison. In the excellent "A Simple Plan" the characters think about consequences and what they think about how to handle things. There is none of this in "Fargo". The characters just do things without thought. The kidnappers seemed to be having more sex than doing their "job".

...but Selena Gomez's speaking voice is really putting me off. I like Martin Short and Steve Martin, I'm ok with Selena Gomez. To be fair, I have only seen one episode so far. I don't want to give it a 1 like most reviewers who get put off by a little summin (on any show) and after 10 mins of watching they rate a show 1. That's just ridiculous.
I'm on the fence because of Selena's voice. Same thing happened on a movie she was in - Woody Allen's A Rainy Day in New York - but I got through it because of Timothee Chalamet.
But this is a series. Can I manage to get through it? I don't know.

Marvel and Co always impress with their series and obviously movies but lately, their series releases are top class. Brilliant combination of the two characters.

This entire series could have made a good 90 minute movie. Stretching the rather thin story out to six episodes has left us with far too much superfluous padding and many of the scenes in episodes 4-6 could be shortened or cut altogether. The other big problem - and in this case it is a huge problem - is that the double act of Michael Sheen and David Tennant is so brilliant that whenever they're not on screen the movie falls apart. The two characters of Aziraphale and Crowley are simply in a different league to the rest of the duffers in the cast - with the possible exception of Miranda Richardson who hams it up nicely as Madame Tracy. The scenes with just the children are like something from a cheap children's TV show and need drastic editing, while Jack Whitehall is a complete dud, along with Adria Arjona, who probably got the part because of her resemblance to a certain member of the British Royal family. The script appears to have stolen liberally from any number of sources, notably Monty Python. There are bits lifted directly from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, The Leaping Nuns of the Order of St. Beryl become the Chattering Order of St. Beryl, for instance. Bits of The Omen and The Exorcist are brazenly cut and pasted into the script, and even Mary Poppins gets tugged into the caper (check out the umbrella handle). These stolen moments are all very amusing for film buffs to sit and spot but they also reveal the paucity of original ideas emanating from Neil Gaiman's shallow imagination. By the time Armageddon finally arrives - or not - the movie is long past it's sell-by date and just hangs around like a fart in an elevator. Without Sheen and Tennant Good Omens wouldn't even get a DVD only release. Watch the first three episodes for Sheen and Tennant then ignore the rest.

Remarkably lacklustre for a film involving magical creatures.
'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' underwhelmed me, in short. At no moment across the 130 or so minute run time was I ever invested or drawn into the story or the characters. I didn't feel any good performances from the cast either. Dan Fogler sticks out in my memory most, though the rest are forgettable.
The special effects are also not to the level I was expecting; that's not to say that they are bad and I'm not certain what I was indeed anticipating from them, but I just found 'em to be meh - nothing blew me away. Which is a vibe that I got from the whole film unfortunately.
Hopefully 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' does more for me.

House of the Dragon is not a worthy prequel to Game of Thrones. Just like the latter part of Game of Thrones, all of Season 1 of House of the Dragon felt like HBO did not want to do the series.
The first 8 episodes are incredibly boring, even more boring than. Amazon's Rings of Power. You keep waiting for something to happen, and when it does, there is no surprise in it. There is almost no real tension, the intrigues are obvious and the acting mundane. There just really is not an actor or character that stands out, there is nobody sympathetic, it is just plain awful.
The CGI effects are often mediocre and are reminiscent of 20 year old tech.
If you have watched GoT, then you already know who the survivors can't be. That really whittles down the surprises.
At least opening credit scene is probably going to improve. It can't be worse.

A Finale is all you look up, but when it comes to second season we always have the expectations that can it be as good as it's previous seasons. Sometimes something's come and made you believe that it will be getting better than her pervious season that is Only murders in the building.

Oh my god , revolutionary amazing a masterpiece i can't wait for more <3, though only one little thing i think the writer missed some of loki's dignity that he didn't wipe the floor with so hopefully they'll deal with that in season 2 . My humble suggestions is that they tie loki up and have every character in the mcu spit on him and call him a narcissistic cockroach for an entire episode (also bonus if he cries and falls in love with every single one of them a little more for helping him become a better person) or better yet just leave his name in the title and let's have 6 episodes about Sylvie's life i mean she is the superior loki after all.

Gave it another shot on FXM. 19 minutes in I have said no, nope, no, no. Satellite colliding into satellite, colliding into satellite, etc. I don't think they actually get anything right. More ludicrous than the friend zone guy getting the girl in any/every rom com.

I really enjoyed The Godfather, so i decided to see The Godfather Part 2 if it's better or worse, and to my utter surprise, it's better than the original and has one of the best performances in a Movie ever. This film is a true masterpiece. Here's why.
The story is as good as the original, this time the film has two separate story lines: Vito Corleone as a Young man and Michael Corleone's storyline. Vito Corleone's story follows his life as he evacuates from New York and to Italy by his parents in 1910 and goes through his normal day life, and Michael Corleone's story follows him being accused for being a criminal by the Law after being framed by his Brother during a celebration when another criminal did the illegal Activity that happen in the celebration and Michael goes through Family life and has a divorce With his wife and all that stuff and must prove that he isn't guilty of the actions caused by a another person.
The film's direction is one of the biggest strengths of this film, it's switch between Vito and Michael is done in a good pace and well choreographed camera transitions makes this film direction nearly a masterpiece. The performances especially once again Al Pacino is so good, it deserved an Oscar for best performance, for a reason, Pacino's character is so emotional, you really care for him in the scenes With his wife. Oustanding i must say.
The film, despite being a serious drama, has some funny moments, like where one of the characters gives Vito Money and continuously regrets it, now that was funny, but the film really is quite serious apart from that one scene, that's why the change of pace makes this quite comforting of a Movie.
The characters are better and the film is longer, The Godfather Part 2 is one of the best films i've ever seen, Performances, humor, drama, direction, Music and characters are great, there is nothing terrible With this Movie. Check this out
10/10

It is obvious that they try to drag every single scene as long as possible in an effort to fill the time. This movie is essentially a monologue and it is not a good one. It is painfully slow. The first scene when she gets separated without contact lasts a good five minutes when it should have been 1 minute at most. She is separated, lost contact, OK we've got it move on. I appreciate what the the original writers were going for, but unfortunately they allowed mainstream Hollywood to get a hold of it and destroy any potential it might have had. Let's face it, mainstream cinema just can't truly make an independent idea into a good film. No exception here. It gets one star for the concept and one star for casting Sandra Bullock. She did the absolute best with what she had.

I have been a huge fan of Scorcese's work, and, like many, I eagerly awaited this movie. Sadly, it did not live up to expectations. Why keep stopping the film to inform viewers the fate of characters on screen for less than a minute? The time jumps are very jerky, and haphazard. If this is the best film of 2019, I cringe at what Hollywood has become. Skip this movie and watch Goodfellas of Casino to see a mobster movie worth watching.

It an age where everything you watch on TV or at the movies gives you a feeling of deja vu because every story idea has been done to death, this one will really throw off your expectations. Both of MCU fiction and of television in general. This is a highly original and creative story line which is also unpredictable. I loved every minute of it.
Even though I was confused for the first several episodes, I loved those episodes as well. Possibly because I grew up watching 60's and 70's television, and the look and feel of TV in that era has been recreated beautifully. But if you're feeling frustrated early on, you should definitely stick with it because it pays off and you will think differently of those early episodes. Good original storylines take some time to develop.
And thematically, the idea that people wishing to escape trauma, or even the banality of everyday existing, through escapism, has strong resonance. That theme has been covered before, but never with this much creative innovation.
This is now my second favorite MCU TV series after "Daredevil." 9/10.

This series is genius except the cheap love story and Disney feel good vibes forced into it late in the season.

I had to have my teenager beside me the whole time who (thankfully and amazingly) understood the nuances of this story! Just seemed crazy to me that there was no common "baddy" - and everyone was "bad".... and "good"?? The action scenes were great but it was goodies fighting goodies! WTF?

I just want to know how her mask stays on? Is it hot glued onto the gooey burned/dead skin? Or is it more like a buttplug shaped thing that sticks into her eye socket? Because this movie was so full of cliches and nonsense that's all i could think about..

I was very happy to see an A list actress in a film with a cool sounding premise released directly to Netflix. The film is a lot of fun in some ways, but it does suffer in the inevitable comparison to A Quiet Place. Clearly both films were made based on an intriguing idea of a future menace to mankind, but the threat in A Quiet Place just seems to make more sense and the filmmakers put their characters in more interesting situations. Still worth a watch to know what everyone is talking about.

I never leave reviews but I can see this is getting torn apart by some people so i'm stepping in.
Two great Marvel characters that actually have interesting personal lives building a friendship following the loss of their close friend. The show has brought in other characters from the MCU which to me has added so much more excitement, you wonder where it will head next or who is going to tie in to it all.
The combat action, different locations and the cleverly shot scenes all would point to this being a high budget, well produced TV show. Those saying Marvel are running out of money must be watching something different.
The friction between Bucky&Sam and John Walker has created a complex storyline where it's not just 'heroes' teaming up to fight the bad guys, and the whole 'bad guy' thing is unclear too with the good motives behind the destruction. This has much more depth than I thought it would, expecting a corny action/comedy only following one storyline, I have been pleasantly surprised and look forward to every Friday.
Only 9/10 because I wish the episodes were longer.

I love this movie. The Avengers will always be the best Marvel movie for me (until Avengers 2, which could be better or worse) but this movie was such a shock. I didn't care much for the first Captain America, it was mediocre at best in my opinion, but this one was absolutely incredible. The action was great and very down to earth, not many special effects are used. This made the movie feel like more of a thriller movie, something that we could see happening in everyday life unlike men in metal robot suits and gods with thunder powers. The main reason i love this movie is because it had the balls (for lack of a better term) to change the Marvel cinematic universe forever. Especially considering Cap is not their main or most popular character, which is what shocked me. Overall this is not just a great superhero movie, its a great movie in general.

After watching the trailer for this I thought like most people I'm sure that it looks like a good show, my partner who loves most British shows sat with me and she said after 30 mins, this is rubbish, I was so relieved, what a waste of time and effort, do yourself a favour, do not invest any time into this rubbish TV show. Maybe and a BIG maybe it does get better but what a massive bore to start with and have no patients to "wait to see if it gets better".

Sadly "Devs" feels like a waste of time. The story never goes anywhere interesting, the plot remains to be lofty nonsense, the characters are soon to be forgotten. Good work by the actors though.

Two years ago, when I saw "Spiderman," I figured it would be an action movie--some good summertime eye candy. Boy, was I wrong! It was an intelligent love story which happened to involve a superhero. And at a time when most sequels are made to try gouge Americans at the box office, "Spiderman 2" is a rare exception.
The story continues two years after Harry Osborne (James Franco) buried his father. Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) is a Broadway star, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) delivers pizzas while studying as an undergrad at (I assume) Columbia, and Harry is running OsCorp. Harry is obsessed with avenging his father's death, which he still blames on Spiderman, and takes it out on Peter. Meanwhile, Jonah Jameson's (JK Simmons) is still ripping off his freelancers while he prepares for his son's wedding... to MJ.
So Dr. Octavious (Alfred Molina), Peter's hero and the subject of his term paper, finds a way to harness the power of the sun using the four-clawed back attachment. Of course, the prototype is a complete disaster, and instead of controlling the prototype, it controls Dr. Octavious (now Doc Ock).
Much of the action is formulaic, but the storyline (especially the love story) and the effects make up for it. It also helped that the entire cast of the original is back, including Rosemary Harris (as Aunt May), Cliff Robertson (as Uncle Ben), and Willem Dafoe (as Norman Osborne).
There's a great foreshadow into "Spiderman 3," which will probably come out in the summer of 2006.

Slow and dull show that drags on despite being very short. Everything looks so bleak. The characters are so slow to do anything. Saw every episode from the first two seasons. What a waste of time.

An ambitious Anthology, narrated through five different storylines & contrasting set of characters. Almost in a satirical manner, "Ludo" as a Dark Comedy; tellingly portrays realistic personalities we get to witness on a daily basis.
The format of 'Anthology' though delved into time to time by many creators before, it still remains as 'unpopular terrain', In a dire need of exposure. Thankfully Anurag Basu is there to help.
His expertise in filmmaking once again shines through. Anurag's Understanding of cinema has always been unexampled in taste. So is the case with his newest endeavor. Incredibly picturised with conspicuous vibrancy & efficaciously written plot, equipped with a bunch of poignant performances; the treatment here is almost flawless. Albiet a bit lengthier in terms of its duration, the screenplay does a fantastic job of blending all the stories which crosses each other's path on quite a few ocassions.
A special mention goes to its brilliantly composed Soundscore. Each Song as a vital piece falls into their designated places, meanwhile also helping the storyline to progress.
For these kind of Artsy-Craftsy representations, one would need a competent set of performers. And Mr. Basu successfully managed to assemble so. With his apt direction, he has carefully given ample time & screen presence to everyone for establishing their discrete identities. Having such a supporting presence behind the camera, it always helps to bring out the best in an actor. And that shows here as well. Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi would be my personal picks from the bunch.
My only little gripe would be about its closing message. They tried to convey lifelong lessons through mythological/karma references, however their inadequate attempt failed to reach any sort of resolution.

"24" sticks Sutherland in the vortex of suspenseful intrigues involving an assassination plot, kidnapping, murder, countless looks askance, um...oh, yeah, and the in-flight demolition of a jumbo jet. Set in 24 hours of real time where a minute in the series is a minute on the screen, this 16 hour (approx with the deficit going to commercial advertising time) linear story heaps suspense upon suspense filling huge, gaping plotholes with it for a riveting edge-of-the-seat small screen experience. All but the most analytical cynics will get caught up in this well crafted thriller which squeezes 10 pounds of dramaction into a 5 pound bag magically making room for the excess with hi-tech gadgetry. Good stuff for t.v. junkies. (B)

A movie can't be understood over high rated
Can't be watched i slept while watching such board movie next day I tried to continue then I stopped it that was a horrible not at all comedy waist of time ...
If you feel that you can't sleep here you go that's the right movie

9/10 A story of the hardships of a young man and his experience in romance. This was an anime that was cute and funny at times and heart wrenching and wholesome at other. Overall the series was a good watch and had a happy ending.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is one hell of a ride. Even though it's quite infamous for it's trending memes, it's one of the most unique stories I've seen. The word bizarre fits this show so good, it's unbelievably ridiculous in a funny way yet emotional. This show has made me walk away emotional, i fall in love with the characters easily and love each and every fight that happens. Some people may say that this show is overhyped because of the 'meme' only fans, but if you think you are ready to jump into some shounen anime, I definitely recommend Jojo you will absolutely love it's story!

This sequel/stand alone "Whodunit" Mystery Comedy with Benoit Blanc introduces the disruptive characters very nicely but can easily disappoint when everyone gets his throat pulverisation and Edward Norton/Miles Bron/Elon Musk is shown to play a very average-crazy tech billionaire.
However, don't be fooled by the slow pace of the setting on the island as it will soon turn into a Hermione's Time-Turner vibe and what you did not see will entertain even more than what you thought you saw.
I loved Knives Out (2019), I enjoyed Glass Onion (2022) very much (but please drop the subtitle) and I am going to very much enjoy Number Three (2025) as well.

I have watched 6 epidsodes patiently waiting for significant action, twists, battles or something but so far nothing has surprised or interested me. So far it has been mainly just royal gossip about house alliances and problems. The performance of Matt Smith as Daemon is a redeeming feature. Threee agonsing birth scenes get a bit repetitive. This is way below the standards of the original GOT series, especially the script which is just lots of discussion of royal house politics. So far there has been 1 unimpressive battle scene. The biggest problem for me is the lack of characters I can really like and support. Also the visuals, cinematography is dull and unimpressive.

Great show, starts abit slow but then it really picks up. It is also corny at times but lessens up after a few episodes.
The story keeps you interested as it is a good mystery, you never quite know who did it or how.
And the cast did a great job of course. Big names actor that pulls the show. Not a fan off Selena but after this I am happily surprised.
Nice life story of people living together and overcoming their personal life difficulties. The show has several layers baked inside the murder mystery.
It is totally worth watching this show as it is easy to watch and follow.
Look forward for more.

Yet another Marvel flick showing us that every female character is a tough, badass, boss, better than men winner. Just make a show without the politics please. "Hunter 2 0 would never lose." She's soo tough.
| 3 |
I expected this to be another typical failed reboot full of identity politics beating viewers over the head. There is some of it to be sure, but it was minimal and tolerable.
My main complaint is Gomez felt miscast. I read that Tim Burton wanted to cast a shorter fatter actor as this was how the character was originally written. Luis Guzman is a great character actor when playing gangsters, but the hoodrat vibes just felt out of place. Also uncle Fester was annoying. For some reason he was portrayed as jewish saying things like "oy vey". It made no sense.
Those things aside, it was a joy to watch the actress playing Wednesday and her deadpan delivery.
| 8 |
Overall it's fun to watch with stories crisscrossing and it always keeps you hooked for next plot twist. The directional style of Anurag Basu and specially the plot interconnectedness will always remind you of Life in a Metro, albeit of different genre.

Perhaps this film would have been better had it been shorter, I don't know. All I know is that I'm quite disappointed with it. I didn't expect anything special (after all I didn't choose this film, my boyfriend did) but I did expect something, anything, to happen. But no... I might as well have left after the first 30 minutes, gone down to the nearest pub for a pint of cider and a chat with some friends, and come back to see the last 15 minutes without missing anything of importance to the story. I didn't do that though. Maybe I should have. Oh well. I'm guessing it just wasn't my kind of film. Spending more than an hour watching someones memories of lost love isn't exactly my idea of entertainment. I give this film 2/10.
| 2 |
I know, I know...this was yet another film that was aboard the "hype train" in recent times, and it got all these awards and blah blah blah...
Well Too bad, folks. This film was a nightmare.
It began with the most drawn out, boring, monotonous and headache inducing drivel I have seen in an art form in YEARS. I was honestly in pain trying to watch thing and after 35 minutes, my family and I gave up. What a mess this was.
At least its nice that James Hong is still around, cause hes cool, and of course the main actress used to be in tons of martial arts movies, so she WAS cool. But this film was a dud and unworth continuing a third of the way through. Avoid at all costs unless you are heavily medicated or intoxicated. Which, im sure, this film is geared towards folks under the influence. Many films are.

I wished they could tone down the profanity just a bit! I mean, they are not necessary. It is such a great show, even if the profanity was toned gown or removed completely. Anyway, that's just an opinion. Great tv series with a great cast. I'm enjoying it!

What better setting than a remote white wilderness, no, nothingness is probably more appropriate as was clearly shown with the hiding of the cash scene. A real breath of fresh air to the typical thriller of endless violence and complicated plots. This was a crime in an everyday world with people with everyday problems - not glorified superheroes with sophisticated dialogue and stunts. Brilliant idea - well worth several viewings just to catch the mundane conversations (which surely struck a cord with most of us !)

UPDATE: This show started out with a bang with the first 3 episodes and then meandered into boredom until the 8th episode. Skip episode 7 (watch the last 5 minutes). It really ticked me off because it was such a waste of time - Elle tells Joel how she got bit in about 30 seconds in episode 8. I have read that several here did not care for the ending. I liked it. What I now realize is this show is more of a drama than The Walking Dead which relied heavily on zombie attacks to provide the drama. Zombies are part of this show but it focus's much more on human survival and how the human race is as bad or worse than zombies. Some didn't like how this show negatively portrays Christianity but I disagree - he was a false prophet which Jesus warned us about. Yes, there are parts that are far fetched, very far fetched, but did you expect anything different? What I didn't like was the filler episodes and I did not much care for the girl who plays Elle. Just not a good fit. In addition, Joel meeting up with his brother was the original mission. He gets there and they hug ... and that's about it. So Joel and Elle move on. Disappointing. Overall its good but could have been great.
| 7 |
I give it a 6 because of Pascal (he makes everything better somehow) but this felt more like a Walking Dead spinoff. Didn't feel like it had the budget it had, but of course, it's just one episode in and I'm hoping things will change and get better. Never played the video game so I can't be biased. Just stating my opinion as a viewer who loves post apocalyptic themed shows/movies. Just hoping it can give us something different from TWD. I liked Bella in GOT but wasn't charmed by her in this show. Maybe a few more episodes before I can start appreciating the story, but pilots are just so darn crucial.
| 6 |
It's really boring, some good sceneries but an overall boring experience.
The violence seems compelled, to get some drive into the boring story maybe. The characters are boring, the relationships are boring, hell even the moments of tension were predictable and immediately lost their tension again because you could guess too fast how they would end.
I would never recommend this movie to friends.

A slow start & tries too hard to be quirky. But it has everything needed for a strong mystery. The leads carry the purposely obnoxious cast. Great set designs & score with lots of laughs & plot twists.

This still remains the best animated series ever made. It's impressive how it deals with such dark subjects without losing its freshness and sense of humor, so it can be enjoyed by all audiences. In addition, it has something that I personally value highly: it never loses continuity, even in the smallest subplots. Every detail makes it unforgettable: the complexity of the villains, the composition of the heroes' group, the redemption of the heir, which is also the one of his uncle. To conclude, all the characters made and to be made are insipid compared to Avatar's; none so complex, none so human.
The best animated series ever made.

The show and the comic are different enough to be judged on their own. As such this show is awful, very uninspired writing. This is a perfect example of a work that is intended to have as broad appeal as possible at the cost of any real substance. A shallow self-indulgent mess.

Anurag Basu knows how to play with the audience. This is yet another example of creative film making by the Barfi director. The way characters were introduced & the way climax was presented was outstanding. A must watch film.

Inception Review, with ROT13 spoilers. This is a movie you don't want to know anything about before watching.
Characters: 1
Screenplay: 4
Cinematography: 2
Emotional: 3
Overall: 3.5
Although not without its flaws, the premise and execution stands out as an epic. To draw unnecessary comparisons, it had Taken's pacing (not action scenes) and excitement with Matrix's imagination and depth, combined with good directing and immersion. The film had bits of action, suspense, drama, and of course thrills while touching on worthwhile subjects like love, family, meta-thought, and the evil of that men do. It does a great job of getting the viewer invested in the outcome of the movie.
Its weaknesses include mostly flat characters, unrealized ambition, unimaginative action scenes and a bit of hand-waving.
I'd think it was a competent release. Close to excellent, but not quite. An intelligent, thrilling ride that immerses you from start to finish with some flaws.
Characters: One of Inception's weak points is its characters. Amongst the one-dimensional characters, weak character development, and minimal character exploration is the character-driven story. I never was able to identify with characters or care fare about their outcomes.
The story revolves around the classic dark and mysterious protagonist. To me, it is a slight disappointment that the other characters remain within the shadows. It does keep the movie focused and from getting too complex, as well as give headway to one interesting interpretation.
DiCaprio does -okay- with the only role requiring strong acting. I would've liked to see more emotion in him, given what he was dealing with. You could attribute the other parts of his personality being played by his projections. The rest of cast does a good job of filling in their respective characters. I really wanted to see bigger shoes to fill for Page, who did feel a bit miss-cast.
Screenplay: A smashing success. This is what made this movie such a big hit across the board. The viewer is thrown into the action, and runs along with the movie. From the opening scene, the film establishes that you will have the pleasure observing something special, grandiose, and unique. It succeeds in maintaining that level of novelty throughout the majority of the film. The last hour of the film is complex and beautifully done. And there are little gems of depth are sprinkled throughout.
However, there is no downtime to process, and if you get caught up on the psychological insights, it can be a little hard to digest. The pacing could have used a bit more variety. There are points where it felt the story was being pushed along. For example, Cobb and his team constantly seemed to jump around all over the world. Also, due to the narrow focus of the film, there world of Inception seems a small and obscure and is juxtaposed against the grandiose premise.
Overall, plot was very pleasingly intricate, with a twist-and-turn, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat type feel. The beauty of the screenplay is its symbolism and the open interpretation of the story. There are red herrings placed all throughout. Analysts and film buffs can be gluttons for discussion. For example, here is a list of theories: Cinematography: The world of Inception is captured quite well. This film was very good at drawing me in for hours and transporting me to an alternative world. The viewers, having been explained parts of the concept, get to both see and feel premise and rules of the world around them. Suspension of disbelief becomes natural. The music flows wonderfully, save the never-ending climatic music at the end.
That said, in the aftermath, I was left wanting more imagination in a dream movie. The premise was novel, but the sets, action/fight/chase scenes could have been much more.
Emotional: Despite the weak characters, Inception had everyone invested in the outcome of the story. Why? It felt so epic, with nuggets of insight, imaginative expansion on what we experience every day, and pacing.
It set out to be very ambitious and deep, but the ideas are never developed and aspects remain unexplained. I didn't care about what happened for most of the characters and whether or not their lives were at stake. I just liked watching it because it was well put together.

It's very rare that I cannot finish a movie once started but I just couldn't make it through this incoherent mess with over-the-top action sequences and endless time jumps. Another live action cartoon from Michael Bay with people walking away from disasters that would kill us ordinary folk. Utter nonsense with no redeeming dramatic value.

I love the first but 2nd is too bad . I don't recommend you guys to waste your time for 2nd season.

I love the MCU. All the way from Iron Man to Avengers: Endgame. I love all the films, and they have a certain magic to them when you watch them. I was excited to watch their first ever series, Wandavision. I was expecting something new and exciting, and it was ok, but wasn't great. I put this down mainly to not liking the characters as much perhaps. I was more excited to watch The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, as I knew it was going to be action packed and feature Zemo, one of my favourite villains. The first episode was terrible. They give us a magnificent, action packed opening, hint at an underlying storyline which I was excited to learn more about. Then the episode completely veers off into Sam's family background, and the rest of the episode revolves around an argument about a boat. What the hell. With very little going on in Bucky's world. Then at the end of the episode, we return to what I actually cared about and wanted to watch, which was the villain gang known as the Flagsmashers. Roll credits. Not much happened. Episode 2. Sam and Bucky randomly meet with no build up or real progression. Their stories don't intertwine, they just randomly appear together. Good action, boring villain, interesting characters. Then from episode 3 to 4, we have random bursts of bloody brutal violence that is completely unlike marvel and out of style. I thought these were kids shows? Bloody violence is not common in marvel films, but, here it is in a series. I personally liked the adult theme, but I wouldn't let my kids watch that. Episode 5, complete garbage. Repeat of episode 1 - great opening scene, rubbish filling about a meaningless boat. Maybe they ran out of ideas so decided to return to the pointless boat story? Oh and of course, the whole racial deal. I think the black super soldier puts it as 'a white folk shield'. Ok :/
Overall, to sum everything up, I don't know what the hell is going on at marvel, and I don't think they even know. Their style changes so much throughout the series I think they forgot what they are best at doing? They must have lost a sense of their audience too, which is primarily children. Each episode feels different, like it doesn't fit as a whole, and don't get me started on the weird camera choices (I am a filmmaker myself). Oh and the boring villain who no one cares about. Did I mention that? Can we see more of John Walker maybe? Far more interesting. Let's hope Loki saves them, cause this is no good.

I have to express my disappointment with this movie, as it is riddled with an overwhelming number of loopholes and plot holes that hinder the overall viewing experience. It's quite disheartening to find that there is a noticeable absence of a compelling and engaging story, leaving the audience wanting more substance and coherence.
Frankly, I cannot help but think that investing time in watching this film is not the best use of one's entertainment hours. Instead, I would suggest diverting attention to purchasing a Barbie doll, allowing for a more enjoyable and imaginative playtime experience.
In conclusion, I find it regrettable that this movie fails to live up to expectations, and I consider it to be an utter waste of valuable time and cinematic potential.

This film spends half its time calling Hollywood a bunch of phonies and liars, then makes a phony film that tells a lie. The true story is amazing. This one completely misleads on the actual events, and leaves out some of its greatest heroes. I've seen Ben Affleck on multiple talk shows talking about politics. This film had a chance to tell an amazing story of diplomacy, cooperation and bravery, but failed to tell the story.
I know it's not a documentary, and I know that a director needs to add in dialog that no one could know, but even Titanic, a story about two people who never existed, got the facts right. I'd put this film in the same category as Inglorious Basterds. Entertaining, but insultingly misleading.
| 3 |
They made the amazing story in the books a mediocre show. Nothing makes sense here, starting with the characters, through the story, dialogues, and ending with such a details as lightning. The characters are stiff, there's no chemistry between them. Story changes are dumb, they make no sense. Prostitutes in Kaer Morhen, really...?
It could have been as good and big as Game of Thrones, and it's just your regular, average fantasy show. Just a dissapointment.
| 1 |
The first episode is interesting. I remember when this happened very well. The only problem I am having with the show so far is that out of all of the Soviets that I have seen so far, NONE of them have even a hint of a Slavic accent, British all the way.
| 5 |
The Tick has always been an irreverent and silly story about super heroes. Until now. Now it's serious. The episode was an origin story for Arthur and it was serious. The jokes were flat. Essentially an attempt to capitalize off of the Tick name without putting anything in that made the Tick good.

I think that Anurag Kashyap Is an artist of some sort to have come up with this movie! Everything about this movie is "WOW"! I have seen many movies which literally are dark and provokes a thought like "Fight Club" and "Donnie Darko",but that's Hollywood! I wonder how bollywood struck with the formula so well! The camera work was brilliant, stunning,classy! The content was very carefully handled keeping the Indian Audience in mind! This movie clearly shows the youth's mentality! Confusion, hunger for sex, Drugs, Abuse, Getting lured by the external world, and lack of judgment! The youth has been beautifully portrayed here! The director clearly understands the mentality of the youth of 2009! Hats off to him! Kudos to the director to have the guts to go through with the film! This movie probably won't be enjoyed by those narrow minded people who can only appreciate unreal , goody-goody feel movies! However,if you really want to witness something magical and brilliant,watch it at a local theater! I promise you won't be disappointed!

The movie starts out on the right note. It sets an engaging story. However, 1 hour into the movie you tend to feel a bit impatient and the movie tends to lose the engaging factor. Especially because neither the characters nor the audience know how to put an end to the crisis. But more than the long journey, the issue is the ending... it is disappointing.
| 6 |
Finally got round to seeing this and I was rather disappointed. It is slow paced and sometimes that's not a bad thing but it seems the reason in this case is that the movie wouldn't be long enough otherwise and still don't know why the scene with the infatuated Japanese man was in the movie! More padding? It's not all bad though. It's a ok movie and there are good acting performances all round, funny dialogue and good on screen chemistry between the actors. Just a little overrated. Go in with lower expectations and you won't be as disappointed as I was.

Pros: 1. Visually excellent even by today's standards 2. Atmospheric, the city landscape and underbelly 3. A deliciously gorgeous Cybill Shepherd
Cons: 1. Hypocritical, the 'hero' is a porn addict 2. Pace is slower than New York traffic 3. 'Hero' is a fiendish stalker who mistreats Cybill Shepherd's character
3 for each side is an even split hence the vote of 5.

I suspect this is a personal thing. Who you are defines what you may get from this.
Me - I'm well into my mid life (had my crisis already thank you). I have daughters and both have watched this. I'm also pretty laid back to life. I encourage my children to be whatever the heck they wanna be and help them as much as I can.
Now to the movie.
For an afternoon showing, it was 2/3 full and mostly women and girls. Just an observation. But it was.
The film is fun. It's tootles along with lots of off beat moments, a great monologue near the end (got teary there), silliness and self awareness (lots of self referential humour).
My girls enjoyed it. I did too but not sure it's like 9/10 good. It's definitely enjoyable but 7/10 good.
A Barbie movie could have been really bad. Really it could have been. But as has been shown by Lego movie, Detective Pickachu and few others....you can take something predominantly aimed at children and make it into something that both adults and children can engage with.
The core message is great.
I must say, I have heard a lot about Ryan Gosling being funny. He's ok. At least to me, he wasn't laugh out loud funny. There are much funnier things in this.
But it is funny and enjoyable enough.
Will Barbie dramatically change the landscape for dialogue? No, I don't think it will. It will though give pause for thought to all those who do go view it.
A good, fun movie worth paying for the entertainment.

I'm about half way through.
The motivations of the "villain" and some plot points seamed foreced.
Not the worst show but needs better writing or at least better though out story's. People needs better motivation than not getting caught in a lie over dying.
| 6 |
That's it? That's the hype? That's the 8.6 rating? Well, in this case I should have left earth way earlier.
| 3 |
What others are raving about in this movie escapes me and I saw it twice to see if I missed anything on the first go around. Taylor Joy's unique face was the only respite from a grueling snore fest.
There was nothing even remotely interesting about this far fetched tale. Even the dishes weren't that interesting. Premise was weak the characters were all dull. Every one of them.
There were maybe two laughs throughout the entire thing. There was one, count it, moment of blood, but it didn't really count as gore. It was shock value just for shock value and even at that it wasn't as shocking as what the makers were surely hoping for. Stunts were terrible. An attempt to break a window looked fake and fell flat.
This is the first movie ever where I am going to repeat what I've read before and always laugh deridingly at, and that is, The Emperor Has No Clothes.

I dunno whats going on in hollywood land, but everybody needs to pull their head from out their back!! The opening sets the tone of this atrocity, thats all I'm gonna say about that! Nothing about this "period piece" puts it in the "period" its supposed to be set in. Im really disappointed in Jackaman. This is the second POS he's been so proud of:( This goes down with that peter pan garbage! OOPH!!

Take a minute to appreciate the hilarity of the script, the design and cinematography, the excellent acting born of solid direction and you have to laugh at some shallow-minded people who just see "entertainment" and review so callously.
Such characterisation, such layered story-telling, and by one person, it's enough to make you cry how many people can't see the value in something quite excellent; because it's such a smooth and fantastical story, that even the best or even retired actors will play the smallest role or cameo for. If you didn't spot them can you really say you watched this?
So easy to swallow what the "big boys" call "blockbusters" which are such a common-place recipe.
A delight to see a sequel. Cannot wait for the third.

Old cuisine with new spices. Weak Plot. Action packed. Nice to see Chris again in Action Avatar.

If this was released as a movie or all episodes at once, people would've been satisfied. After waiting a year without any marvel content these two episodes were a letdown for me. Lots and lots of unnecessary scenes made it a little boring. Only good and important things are at the end of each episodes. Rest of the episode is time stretching only. I think the show will be good in the future. But not for the time being. I know black and white has something to do about the storytelling, going from 50s to 60s etc. But B&W and also 50s sitcom style made it a little bit boring as I have not watched any B&W sitcoms and not from US. This confirms "Marvel movies are good but not TV" mantra furthermore to me. But hey it's only two episodes and I'm pretty optimistic for future MCU.
| 6 |
The movie itself and strategies to attract an audience are nice. But, I will write the reason why to not like this movie. 1. Not suitable to watch with family. It contains lots of abusive (language) dialogues. 2. I do not like the way a religion' mythology is portrayed. 3. Shows that society people can have a sexual relationship with whom-so-ever and when-so-ever an individual want (even if they are married). Gives a wrong message to society. 4. Movies must give a good message to the society. As a result, the nation and society could develop. This is completely missing and misleading the youth through this movie.

What a huge disappointment after GOT! This is a hot mess. The script is terrible. The lighting is dark and it is hard to see what is happening. I feel sorry for the actors who have to learn such lousy lines. The costumes are well done. The settings are interesting. But the writing is terrible. The story drags and drags and drags along. The characters are not interesting, and it is hard to feel anything positive about any of them. Basically, they are selfish, self-centered narcissistic creeps. Absolutely absorbed with power and control. Do not waste your time with this hot mess. It sucks. Really sucks.

I started to watch the anime with this series. It starts as a normal series but, when the L's character was introduced it started to bang. The investigation scenes are really awesome. We even can't point out the visible flaws in the series. Every character has a reason to show. But the makers failed to continue the interesting scenes. They rushed in the middle and it is like just stretching the series. Except it this was one of the best series I ever watched .If you like act and mouse scenes between two hyper intelligent persons, this series is for you. You can complete this series in 2days easily, if you not get bored in the middle.

I love this show. This is the best creative writing and production to come along in a long time. My only disappointment is the episodes aren't long enough. But, I love watching the episodes more than once to catch some of the details I miss the first time around. Don't miss this show!!

A BEAUTIFUL MIND (3 outta 5 stars)
I had put off seeing this movie for such a long time... people kept saying how good it was and how good an actor Russell Crowe is yadda yadda yadda... and I just didn't care. I was sick of the hype surrounding his ridiculously over-praised "Gladiator" movie and not seeing this movie would be my revenge! But, as luck would have it, it was on Canadian TV the other night... unedited (broadcast TV in Canada is soooooo cool)... and I figured maybe it was time. Well, the movie started to lose me at first... it started out a little too predictable and then took a few implausible turns. Just as I was about to give up on it... some major plot developments had me looking at the movie with new eyes. By the midway point, the movie had me hooked. Not a perfect movie though... Crowe's performance does seem a little too "act-y" at times... and Jennifer Connelly is... well, she does the same thing she does in all her movies... some people seem to like it... me, not so much. Once again, Ron Howard takes a movie subject that I find somewhat less than compelling (what? another eccentric genius who becomes a beloved teacher?) and turns it into a fine film.

This film surprised me in such a good way, I'm glad that I saw it. Please give it a chance.

Well.. I know that maybe john wick was comical character (like in marvels).. but pleaseeee.... leave 1 or 2 little spot of logic in there and don't take them all away.. oh and one more thing.. pace.. pace.. pace.. perhaps this movie should be in just 40-45 minutes.. like you know.. a tv series episode..

Hey! This is my first review EVER!! why? Because I watched Avengers, Winter soldier, thor 1 &2, ant man, but this one is just stupid!!!! why??? Because in other marvel movies things make SENSE!!!If I am your friend I wouldn't just go against you!! I would TELL you I am gonna do it!! Vision is so powerful he can take all of them together yet Cap and Barnes escape!!!I know this is a Captain movie yet you can't just include the other guys yet ignore there thoughts and POWERS!!! its a superhero movie after all!!! I mean logically Stark could have destroyed the plane Cap was after BUT then ant man wouldn't have a scene!!!!
I mean to say guys SERIOUSLY????after such awesome movies you gave us THIS?????

This is probably my favourite Spider-Man film. I have seen all of the Spider-Man films before but I decided to rewatch them in preparation for No Way Home.
Directed by Sam Raimi, a director most at home with horror, this film takes some horror tropes and combines them with a story straight from the pages of a comic. I love Alfred Molina, I feel like I've hardly seen him in anything else but watching him in this he is obviously a massively talented actor. His take on Doc Ock is great and tragic. I like the score by Danny Elfman, it feels really unique compared to a lot of superhero scores and is instantly recognizable. The action is some of the best in the franchise and I have almost no issues with the movie, the film is on the longer side but I still think that it's well paced and interesting. Really good superhero film which has me so excited for Molina's return.

I'm from Europe which means we see most movies a little later than my IMDb brothers and sisters from the States do, plus I'm in South America right now which means I didn't see it till yesterday. So it might be a little late to put in my 2 cents but when I looked it up here last night and saw it at #3 in the all time movie list I just had too. 'Cause in no way no how does this movie belong there. I'll keep it short cause a lot of people have already did long and thorough explanations on exactly why #3 is to much for this movie but than again what does a list with Toy Story at #12, Unforgiven at #104, Indiana Jones above that and Shawshank Redemption at #1 really mean........not much. However you cannot argue over taste so I'm not going too, and yes I did get it. What I like about Nolan is that he must think his audience is pretty smart, he gave us Momento (which in my book is way better than Inception with a way smaller budget) and even the Dark Knight has a kind of intelligence in it that you don't see that much in Hollywood. But I think this movie is asking to much of his audience simply cause certain things don't ad up. I amazed he got the studio bosses to climb aboard with him on this one. It's to much, or to little depending on how you look at it. Nolan is one of the best directors there is in Hollywood at this time but that doesn't mean he has to surpass himself every time, and he didn't with Inception. Hell, Kubrick made Eyes Wide sh*t, Eastwood dropped the ball on more than one occasion and so did a few others. I hope Nolan won't get to be this eccentric arty farty director that just makes what he makes and just expects everyone to dance along like Kubrick cause if he doesn't we're gonna see some great stuff to come. But Inception ain't one of 'm. I saw a review here about stupid people which although I would not use that word does have a good point. And I saw another review where someone put together a list of movies that dealt with the dream subject better (although this movie is still way better than the Cell) but let me just put in my view. Dreams move in another frame per second, therefor it is not possible to have whole conversations or rides in a car from A to B in a dream. Dreams are just fragments and that is why a movie about dreams don't work well in my book. All I can think about when I see movies that deal with dreams is: "I never dream like that". I could go on and on but I won't, I'll give it a 7 and it might just be an 8 if I see it again cause that is something you just have to do with this one, but it could also change into a 6. Nothing more nothing less. O and I like DiCaprio very much but I just cannot see him as a grieving widow and father, maybe Edward Norton would have been a better choice.

Wow, this was much better than I had anticipated. Super hero fatigue hit me several years ago. The last umpteen installments from Marvel and DC have bored me to tears, it's more or less the same thing over and over again.
But The Boys came as a complete surprise to me. It's has real characters and an intriguing story. And it's funny! Unlike the tepid humor and dad jokes in the neutered Marvel kids movies. The actors are really good. I can't remember if I've seen the guy who plays The Deep before, but he's a real find.
It's not often I'm looking forward to a season 2, especially not when it comes to superhero shows (here's looking at you, Marvel). But this time I'm excited for the next season.

Captain America is a great hero in the Marvel Universe. I really enjoyed Civil War as i enjoyed the comics on this very story, it's interesting to see what comparison both behold. The war between Stark & Rogers is brewing and they executed this in the most entertaining yet exhilarating way they possibly could have. I'm a massive Marvel fan so you can trust me when i say this is really cool.
One of the best team up movie's I've seen in a long long time, i did watch this when it came out but i felt a review is in order. Highly recommend this title, it truly is mindblowing!

Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier. Sometime it does not matter much if your leading superhero is not throwing one liners one after another like Iron Man or has enormous amount of power like Thor or has delicious anger issues like Hulk, because Captain America is our pure old school hero who will talk no non sense and won't accept lies and at the same time he is irresistibly good looking and carries his shield like a medal for himself. All this provide Captain America a distinct identity in Marvel Cinematic Universe. To balance the fun, beautiful Scarlett Johnson playing agent Natasha, her boss Nick Fury played enjoyably by Samuel L. Jackson and loyal sidekick to captain played by charming Anthony Mackie provide enough jokes. To complete the story, we have a ruthless mercenary The Winter Soldier who is amazing with the mask but surprisingly average without the mask. Movie takes its own sweet time before starting the action in full blow when Nick Fury is attacked by the evils. Action scenes are full of well edited man to man fights and climax is overblown much in the lines of The Avengers. I am going with fantastic 8 out of 10 for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It is a blast for MCU fans and must try for superhero lovers.

This film is not as good as the first Kung Fu Panda - who would expect it to be? - but it is still good in its own right. It has the same elements that made the first film great - action, animation, kung-fu and humour - but not executed with an emotional story.

Do not waste your time on watching this movie. If I was not watching it with other people I would have turned it off after 20 minutes. There basically isn't a plot, and the acting is extremely cringey. I felt like a middle schooler came up with the plot. It simply didn't make sense. I am blown away how high the ratings are. Plus, I like the actors Anya Taylor-Joy and Ralph Fiennes so I'm not just being biased. The actor who plays Tyler was so cringe it was hard to watch his scenes. However, I felt this way about much of the acting his was just by far the worst. I will never watch this movie again and will be quite okay with that, but I pressure you to do that same. I truly felt like I wasted 2 hours of my life, but I hope this review helps you so you don't!

Worst season of them all. Not only because they shot it and then divided it into two seasons (Season 5 is coming), but very poor writing - people coming back to life, powers coming back, new baddy pulled out right from the back side, change of theme from Stranger Things to dull ghosts, spirits, and cheap horror B-movies from 80-ies.

Black mirror is just brilliant. Awesome and a fine blend of sci fi, drama and technologies. Stories are compelling, thrilling and surely keeps you glued. I was surprised by the first season, then binge watched the rest of the season. After season 3 it went downhill. Even season 4 was good to a extent but it completly faded away in season 5. But stiill I would not restrict myself to give this series a 8.

Thank You Anurag Basu for LUDO <3
There is nothing ANTY-HINDUISM in this movie. This movie has a deep message and not for everyone :)
'LIFE IS LUDO & LUDO IS LIFE' - This line is completely matched with the storyline of the movie. Acting, Screenplay, Direction - everything is just brilliant. Such A Masterpiece <3

Lemme just say, this is the first review I write about anything, and I have been a user for years. I started watching 13 Reasons Why a couple of days ago thinking it would be your "everyday teen melodrama" type entertainment - weak dialogue, stupid stereotypes, teen angst overdose, etc. As I got through the first couple of episodes, I was going to give up watching the show, but felt like there were some underlying layers of depth which compelled me to go on. And boy was I right! Watched the whole thing in a day! I have rarely seen such a heart wrenching and powerful TV series, and never has a TV show been stuck in my head in such a way.
Overall, the acting is solid (the leads especially), the structure of the show is solid - even though it can feel slow at times, eg the beginning. The project was also helmed by great screen writing and directing (Spotlight's Tom McCarthy everyone), and even though I didn't really like the songs on the soundtrack to begin with, I find myself listening to it repeatedly nowadays.
It also tackles dark material in such an effective way, it's very hard not feel affected by what's going on. Nevertheless, the show has some light hearted moments, which brought nostalgia of my years in high school. The sad and dark moments also brought back other memories that weren't so pleasant - as I had a friend who had been in similar experiences as Hannah. But it was at that point that I realized how well the show had captured the vibe of what it means to be growing up as a teenager (and the hidden struggles that are in fact very real) in this day and age.
Well done. 10/10

Sorry man. Lets be objective. Im not saying anything to production quality but It is a succes to bring Leonardo, Brad, Margot and Al pacino together and achive to make awful movie.
