I had high hopes. The original series was distinguished by it's inventive plot lines and (now clunky and funny) original ideas for sets. This series does the opposite - the sets and vistas are impressive but the plot lines are risible, and fairly boring. Other reviewers have commented on plot holes so I don't need to, save that if that's your thing, then it's an endless stream of daft mistakes. Oh, and shoot Doctor Smith, whatever she thinks she's achieving, she isn't. It's just weird. Please put her out of our misery.

While watching, I found myself invested in the characters. I definitely cringed a bit at times, but in the same way that I cringe when I think back on my late high school early college years.
The main protagonist has depth, like a real person would, and wants to not only fit in, but keep out of the lime light while also proving she's a hero. I don't know about you, but I remember being like that in highschool. I definitely wanted to fit in while still keeping my head down.
What can I say for the rest of the cast? They all have interesting dynamics and interpersonal relationships, and in particular, I find myself want to know more about all of them.

Wow what a great show. Everyone does a phenomenal job with their parts but Kevin bacon as a dirty/do whatever needs be to done type seriously knocks it out of the park. My only gripe with the show is that some of the best characters in show get killed off a little too soon but great show and fantastic writing. Definitely recommend this one.

This movie could benevolently be described as an experiment in movie making. It has hardly any plot, copies from many different genres and is at times so hectic that it is hard to follow. In the end they try to tie it all together to a sentimental and nihilistic message about the value of relationships over accomplishments in life. As such, some people might enjoy it but my wife and I would have walked out if we had not been there with friends.
But I have a problem with all the accolades like the Oscars for best movie and for some of the actors. That used to mean something. But to call this the best of the year and to give Jamie Lee Curtis an award for this nothing of a performance shows how they have lost their way and the respect for their audience. They are mocking us. This movie is art in the sense that drawing a mustache on the Monas Lisa could be called art. Hollywood is hard at work of making itself irrelevant.

How the cameras capture the scenery highlights the beauty of Europe outdoors and indoors, which mingles with the different kind of plots and music that offers an enjoyable viewing atmosphere. With the romance, magic, and different species, the audience are drawn into a world of wonder. Watching an exquisite show like this is similar to taste of glass of fine wine; it's so captivating that you want to taste its whole at once but at the same time, you also want to taste its sophistication bit by bit.

I enjoy and appreciate how different this show is from the original GOT series. Even if people want and beg for more GOT, the writers tend to know best and we really do not want more of the exact same. House of the Dragon is largely focused on the tensions of family bloodlines, especially strained due to firstborn births of daughters in a male dominated middle age world. As a result, the plot is thick with dialogue around what I will broadly label as "family drama." Doesn't sound like GOT? Family drama + Dragons, so maybe a little more GOT now.
The focus around family and births and children and romances that are and are not occurring turns this show into a bit of a highly produced soap opera at some points. The writing for this soap opera is great, and it has dragons and death so that's an added bonus, but as with most soap operas the drama can be dragged out just a bit too much.
One thing I would like to call out separately is the sheer number of birth scenes in this show. I have never seen so many screaming, bloody births in one series of television in my entire life. Definitely could have cut the number of on screen births in half.
Overall, I enjoyed the first season and look forward to the second. I hope the writers stay true to the storyline and keep creating unique content that lives in the GOT universe but does not mimic the original story too closely.

In 1981 Harris published Red Dragon, which introduced us to a character, forensic psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter. This character was elaborated in his following novels, The Silence Of The Lambs(1988) and Hannibal(1999).
All the novels were made into full length feature films starring Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Lecter and all were commercial successes. Harris wrote a prequel Hannibal Rising(2006), which explores the boyhood of Hannibal. The prequel was a flop and great disappointment to fans and critics worldwide.
This series is about the life of Hannibal when he was working with FBI special investigator Will Graham, and the time when he was killing young teenage girls. He was dubbed the Chesapeake Ripper by the media, a name he found exceedingly rude. Hannibal explores the interaction between a exceedingly inhuman character towards normal, human persons.
In the TV series it is revealed to us earlier that Hannibal is the Chesapeake Ripper, and the series main plot-device is what heinous deed will do next...
The series features over the top gore and makeup effects. It also shows Hannibal cutting up human body parts to make his meals, which he then serves to others or eats alone. Hugh Dancy gives a superb performance as Will Graham, as well as Laurence Fishburne who plays Special Agent-in-Charge Jack Crawford. The X-Files star Gillian Anderson has a small role as Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier, who is Lecter's psychotherapist.
The main difference between the Harris novel's and this television series is that the Hannibal portrayed here is an exceedingly evil calculating killer who can strike at any given moment. Plus he also kills persons that are not "rude"(as he calls them). We are able to see for the first time the special gift that Will Graham possesses which is a kind of flashback through the eyes of the person or persons doing the killing. The series ins interspersed with other serial killers besides Dr. Lecter such as Dr. Abel Gideon, a surgeon institutionalized for killing his family, who is led to believe that he is the Chesapeake Ripper by Dr. Chilton. Tobias Budge (Demore Barnes) plays a musician who is secretly a serial killer. Matthew Brown (Jonathan Tucker) plays an orderly who is also a vicious killer.
This Series is a bonus to fans of Thomas Harris. Now you have a lot more to see after you have seen all the previous Lecter films...
Other serial killer movies: The Gray Man(2007), Albert Fish: In Sin He Found Salvation(2007), Citizen X(1995), Evilenko(2004), The Deliberate Stranger(1986), Ted Bundy(2002), The Secret Life: Jeffrey Dahmer (1993), Dahmer (2002), To Catch A Killer (1992), Dear Mr. Gacy (2010) The Boston Strangler (1968), Deranged(1974), Cannibal (2006). These films are based upon the lives of real-life serial killers.
Thanks for reading.

This blast will echo for decades & be heard by people across the globe. This is why I watch movies, every once in a while I stumble upon such a masterpiece which moves me to tears. You would feel emotionally drained as if rug had been pulled from under your feet & will take you by surprise. Had it not been a bollywood production this masterpiece would've been in IMDb top 10. Probably the best & most important film from bollywood/Hollywood put together. This film will make anyone think hard about how not to take things for granted and it is really heartwarming without being soppy. The music is worthy of praise too, the raw emotion and feeling is amply conveyed.
A few simple paragraphs cannot truly describe the significant achievement of this film & I felt compelled to write a review soon after watching it. After some persuasion from friends I finally got to see it & have been recommending to others ever since. When it comes to movies I'am quite picky & very hard to please guy. There have been occasions where I have literally walked out of the theatre & times where I felt like I have wasted my time. I often watch movies on solid recommendations & tend to follow certain directors & cast. I am quite amazed at how well done this film is. It is a moving film which will shake you from inside. A real must-see. Amazing story brilliant performances.
Very rarely it happens that movies are made that are very simple in expression but possess monumental appeal this fact is truthfully exemplified in this movie. Enough good things can't be said about this movie. It is undoubtedly one of the best and most moving films ever made. One of the most memorable and wonderful movies of the century. I can't say enough good things about this film I really can't - I mean it. Its one of my personal top ten films of all time. There is not another film more deserving of solid 10/10 in the list than Gangs of Wasseypur. Thank you so so much Mr Anurag Kashyap for having wonderfully put together this incredible masterpiece.

Without getting into spoilers, this is a pretty big improvement over the first film.

This movie is one of the most stupidest of all time, the story doesn't exist. The only limited interest I get in it are the bullet time and the sfx in general. Even the fightings are mediocre, If you throw sfx you can see that the choreography is average and that the actors are really awful in it, but making them jump 50 feet high or break wall tends to hide their poor limitations, I saw a lot of kung fu movies and i can say that Keanu reeves with his manicured hands doesn't fit at all. This movie is a mix of Dragon Ball Z for the fighting, Superman for the flying, and let's not forget Dark City for the atmosphere and for a lot of plot by plot scene.
I gave it 2/10.

It should tell you almost all you need to know that all the publicity stills from this film were CGI shots.
If you're a fan of CGI, Spider-Man 2 is a real treat - an Internet Movie Database Top 250 of a film. But in other respects it is lacking, and more so than its prequel.
Although Tobey Maguire is billed as the lead, he is on the screen for a relatively short amount of time because, for the most part, his character is played by 69 members of the effects crew. And talented though Maguire is, his appearances have the feel of being a filler while we wait for the next action sequence.
It doesn't help that Peter Parker's superhero affliction has gone from being poor and naive to being the world's most unfairly treated individual. He is dumped by his girlfriend for turning up late to the theatre and shunned by his aunt for confessing that he played an indirect, and entirely unforeseeable, part in his uncle's death.
Still, Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus is a very fine baddie and the plot ticks along nicely, if predictably, for the full two hours. My main issue is that despite its high rating among IMDb's voters, it is not as good as Spider-Man. The hero never appears vulnerable enough to give the scenes any tension and the film begins to look like an action flick by numbers.
That said, as CGI-reliant films go it is certainly better than anything by George Lucas. Let's hope that the third instalment is up to the standard set by Batman Begins.

So I knew nothing about the series when I started watching it, AMC had a lot of witch documentaries being recommended to me so I thought this would be an adult paranormal romp, and instead I got bored to tears from the second episode on. Another reviewer said it best when they said this was designed for 12-13 yr old girls, Teresa Palmer plays the every girl who is gorgeous and fantastic and everybody loves her without her every lifting a finger or earning any of it. She's a terrible actress, but that l the show is gawdawful anyway.
Matthew Goode I had enjoyed in The Imitation Game but he seems to be a one note actor and that role was the one note. He's better then Teresa but both are totally wooden and display no emotion or chemistry. His dark prince vampire cabal leader has all the threat of a chihuahua who's owners are manipulating it to smile, while instead it looks scared and confused.
Here's hoping I heard correctly that ssn 3 is the end of this dumpster fire.

WOW!!! I think this one word sums up this movie. It's been a long time since I watched such an entertaining Bollywood movie, packed with such brilliant story line and awesome performances by all the cast, especially Manoj Bajpai, who once again proves how versatile he is as an actor. Brilliant dialogues, delivered with great panache. Another feather in the hat of Anurag Kashyap who has given great movies, such as Paanch, Dev D, Gulal, Black Friday, etc. A really gripping story line, told at a brilliant pace, enough to keep you at the edge of you seat, and also ensuring that you don't either get bored or fall of the edge with excitement. Definitely not a movie to watch with your family if you are conservative. But it is a real entertainer. Hats Off to the entire crew of GoW, and eagerly waiting for release of GoW 2 in India. :)

The first thing strikes my head when i hear sci-fri series, Stranger Things! Even for newbies. Great series for those who loves sci-fri not only for the story-line only but also the acting and emotions ,really won our hearts. Chilly thrills and turn-back suspenses made this come so appreciatable. Intelligence and creativess of the 4 game freak squad dealing with the monsters with gamic strategies, just something new and thrilling. Am just now a die-heart-fan of not only this series and the actors and actresses but also the whole setup team! Kudos! Once in hotplate appreciation. The turnback of eleven with her powers , just fabulous. Surely go for it if ya didn't! Fingers crossed...

the 2 stars are for De Niro, he is an actor of such high caliber that is wasted in this wishy washy flick. The premise is a good one and something that could have been taken to more places than this film did. Anne Hathaway is OK in her role but given the material she has to work with she struggles to show any brilliance. Mr De Niro is also hamstrung in his role as he seems to not be able to develop fully as a character. the drama what there is of it leaves you not really caring what happens to the people in this film. it is watchable, sadly predictable and too light and airy for my liking. Also I think the lack of a protagonist in this film is its hugest flaw. there is little serious conflict and not a lot of comedy.

Typical South Indian style strory telling. Horrible prosthetic. Poor Cinematography.

A show like this is made once in a lifetime. I'm so lucky to be alive now and be able to watch this masterpiece.

Same cliched story villain as before, just a little powerful and your movie is ready. It has nothing new, Tom Hardy's acting impresses, but when the story itself is not good, it doesn't work. I was just waiting to see when it will end and I watch the post credits scene. The post credit scene is far better than the whole movie.😑

Loosely inspired by the story of director Steven Spielberg, The Fabelmans tells the story of Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle), who loved cinema as a child and, little by little, becomes a filmmaker while living with a dysfunctional family.
Spielberg is one of the greatest movie director and the critic love when some like him put his heart in an autobiography movie. But The Fabelmans is a bit too much.
The characters seem very cartoonish. The script develops with little focus and no conflict. It's just a weird rich family having fun: going for a walk, having dinner together, etc. Here's a movie that desperately needed more conflict. What a character wants and cannot. Or two want the same thing. The Fabelmans ends up looking like a boring movie, where nothing happens, for most of the time.
When, finally, a conflict arises, Sammy discovers something surprising about his parents, it is soon resolved. And we're back to a long drama about nothing. It's too much to want a 2h30 movie with little disagreement beetwen the characters besides the predictable growth of the portagonist
They could have problem with money? With thieves? Others womens? Drugs? Health?
It seems more like a personal achievement of Steven Spielberg. It's not for anyone. 4/10.

Saw this movie today. While well acted and photographed, the story was nothing exceptional. Interesting for a while, yet waiting for something better to happen which never occurred. The last third of the movie turned dark and disturbing not only for the violence but the silly way it ended leaving me shocked at how it won the best picture Oscar. The first thought I had as the final shot ended the movie was: "Are you kidding me?" The all time worst choice for best picture ever!!!

`I hate those movies based on special effects with a poor plot,' I told my friend when he suggested me to go see `The Matrix' on its opening night. But when I kept hearing excellent reviews of the movie, my curiosity increased, and I decided to give it a try. Well, I was right: not only I did not enjoy the movie, but I also could not wait to rush out of the movie theater.
First of all: the PLOT was truly poor, and it is clear that most of the scenes were designed merely to show special effects, rather than to transmit a precise message (and at least twenty minutes of the movie could have been cut because of this). The first rule of screenwriting is to satisfy the audience's need for orientation, clarifying since the very beginning who are the characters of the movie, and what is their function. I had to wait an hour to understand that. This method (increasing the suspense of this audience by postponing a real explanation of the characters' roles) could have been effective, only if they were introduced in a more clear way. I often felt lost, as many key aspects of the movie were clarified too late (i.e. the phone transportation).
The DIALOGUES were truly lame and unoriginal (except for some funny references to the Wizard of OZ).
The CHARACTERS were not developed at all. Still now, thinking about the movie, I cannot really say what was a peculiar trait of each character: their personalities did not stand out at all. They were rather divided into the stereotypical `good' and `bad' categories.
Still mentioning STEREOTYPES, I think the whole movie was a TT (Temple of Testosterone): the ideal place for the satisfaction of a male audience. Why? Because of great fight scenes, vigorous men with a perpetual grimace who want to either save or `own' the world, women with big breasts who don't talk (the woman in red), and strong but yet submissive women driven by sentimentality (Trinity).
What I SUGGEST is to go see it if you like video games and want some entertainment. But if you are one of those persons who want to step out of a movie theater with a new awareness or even better a call to action, I suggest you'd save the 8 bucks for a better cause.

Is it a musical, is it a movie? I'm 15 minutes in and I won't see it to the end. It does a horrible version of breaking the 4th Wall. I'm not interested, there's no way it should have won any Oscars. I can only imagine it's because it's Hollywood Nostalgia. A massive thumbs down.

I've made it up to episode 4 and still had no clue what was going on. I thought this would be as good as game of thrones, but what was I wrong!!

This is a pretty enjoyable show to watch. It's bingeable. The two male actors are really talented, but Selena Gomez ruins the whole show with her absent acting.
I'm tired of this habit of using an actor or actress for an audience, obviously she was used as a hook for younger audiences. There are really talented actors and actresses on the market. Aubrey for example would have been a good choice.
Apart from Selena Gomez's terrible acting, I almost enjoyed the show but to be honest I quit two times to continue again because I wanted to know the end.
I hoped that her character dies somehow or gets in jail so we wouldn't see her anymore or less, but she's a bait for young adults so of course they won't make this.
I did not watch the third season, this was too much to suffer.

I like it, for now, but this show is on a very thin line of becoming unwatchable with this P. C stuffs. I know that this is the trend now, but all this producers aren't they see that they only waste money and the shows are getting cancelled one after another. Still think season 1 was the best.

Aashiqui 2 a Bollywood movie released in 2013 is totally same But just in a Hollywood set up.

These process line, CGI comic book films have become so generic and pointless, in their execution and what they bring to the genre, that it genuinely concerns me that they nevertheless turn over the revenue they clearly do -- given they're continuously churned out (directly implying profitability).
It really goes to the heart of the problem of today's society, when escapism has become so unabashëdly shallow and cookie-cutter in nature, yet still manages to pull in the plebe hordes like the rotting stench of a dead carcass does esurient hyenas.
The summary 10's / "perfect" scores these films are mandatorily slapped across their Down's continuance with, is evidence irrefutable that (i) film industry shilling has reached CCP propaganda division levels of absurdity and (ii) that the collective I.Q. of this species has dropped dramatically in the last decade or so (...our choices in who leads out nations, only further cements thus assertion).
Verdict: B.Y.O. lobotomist's 'brain scoop' / 10 -- Not _AS_ bad as Woeful Woman was... from a certain point of view.

Yikeroonies. bad and not clever even tho it tries to be. the amount of plotholes left is in the literal hundreds. do not recommend. 0/10.

Sacred Games. Does that sound philosophical?Hell yeah.Ain't it?Indian stuff all over.Gangs,Wars,Heroes etc etc.But what makes this stand out is the philosophy exhibiting from it.KABHI KABHI LAGTHA HAI AAPUN HI BHAGWAN HAI.This line sets the hearts on rage.Nawazuddin as Gaitonde,apart from his funny attire as a typical Indian, is the heart of the series.Never have I thought could an ordinary guy with barely physically built appearance and dusky skin color can go goosebumps on you. Literally, I felt it. Saif does a great job,per se, as a flawless and grumpy police officer. Pankaj Tripati.Ah,this man.Well known for Mirzapur.Guruji!Aap hero nikla series me.He barely appears in first season. But for what it's worth,he nailed his character. Overall,watch if for Indian essence. Nd........ GAITONDE (Nawazuddin )

I agree with a lot of other reviewers that the movie was "uneven", missing some continuity or something else I cannot not put my finger on this moment. But watching so many fine actors in this movie was worth the watch. You know Christian Bale always brings an A game, but Margot Robbie and John David Washington were also excellent. As well as Rami Malek and Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Rock, et. Al
But perhaps the greatest contribution of this movie is to remind us (again) how delicate is our democracy, and now, along with the Civil War and January 6th, we're reminded of another attempt to reshape this country in some awful, illegal and immoral way. I haven't yet read War Is a Racket by Smedley Butler, perhaps it is time.

What on earth is this about, did everyone leave their brains at home with this movie.
Plot?
Sense?
Common sense?
I really don't know where to begin. I watched MI1 before watching this, a world apart. It was a great thriller, daft, but fun but what onearthe has this morphed into.
I wanted to like this, please stop Tom, you're a great star and everyone concerned is super talented but you are all better than this.
The further I watch the more confused I become, I'm routing for the Entity if it saves me from this torment.
It's only part one so we're all going to have to sit through this again.

I heard about this movie for years, that its a masterpiece etc etc, finally got around to watch it and.. must be the most boring, pretenious, piece of garbage I ever seen... the movie tries to be serious but it mixes it with crazy overacting and some sort of attempt to be artistic instead of trying to make an interesting story.
Only getting a 2 star for nice cinematics at times, the view over the oilfields and so on...
oh and the music was the worst of it all, gave me a headache!
I dont get some reviews here, either you seen a different movie or you actually enjoy this kind of totally pointless "movie"?

Our all force are not corrupted. You should have visit Dhaka before you make this movie.

Everyone loves Harry Potter. I do too.
This was 100% written by a set of statistics pulled off of twitter or similar about what people like:
e.g I like cute animals 90% people said this
Let's find ways to shove animals in
e.g 20% of people talked about Cruciatus Curse
let's whack this somewhere randomly
It's not about plot. It's a film where things people like about Potter are loosely strung together by something resembling a plot.
What annoys me more is it has some of the best actors atm in it. 'What's my character development?' -> 90% of people like it when you seem nice "I don't understand this bit, how should I present it" -> don't worry we will make the scene super quick and hope no one notices that the explanations for the things the rest of the film are based on make no sense.
| 1 |
I'll start right out with my reason for 8/10 as opposed to 10/10. In my personal opinion one thing all stories should explain especially mysteries is the how and why. The how and why is murky at best which left me feeling a bit confused about a few things.
With that in mind, I watched this entire series in one day. For ten or so hours nothing mattered except bathroom breaks and snack refills. I kid you not, the very phrasing of the first chapter's title makes you feel like "Ok we're going on a ride here". Then there's the method they used to introduce the series title. Talk about a blast from the past! From then on, just be prepared to be transported to a different time. The set pieces alone are done well enough to give this a gander.
One thing this series did well was mixing "well known" actors with people you literally never heard of. It has a great pull where the Winona Ryders reel you in and the new comers keep you there, knowing you don't have to see the same old style from the same old people, but also knowing you don't have to invest a lot of trust into a whole cast of newbies. The kids especially do a phenomenal job. While a bit cliché at times, considering their age, they were fantastic. You'll see almost immediately that Millie Bobby Brown is in a class of her own.
Another thing I liked about this series considering it's a Netflix Original is that they didn't take advantage of the lack of censorship. There are no unnecessary sex scenes, every other word isn't a swear, and there's not a whole bunch of random drug use or killing. But not to the point where it seems like an after school special. It was simply done right.
Now the general vibe of the series is very familiar as it pulls from just about every 80s sci-fi/horror movie you can think of. What they did well with that however is taking that familiarity and molding it into something new. I don't wanna get on a soapbox, but man was it nice to watch a movie about teenagers and not have it be them glued to their phones. I think whether anyone wants to admit it or not we all can use a break from the strangle hold social media has on us right now. Now that I think of it, I think that's why a lot of modern horror films don't work these days. Technology is all around us, so it's hard to suspend belief when you know that theoretically the entire world is one tweet away from witnessing a mystery taking place. In 1983 that was a different story.
All in all I give it 8/10. Like I said, it locked me down for an entire day. The story is a good pace that keeps you interested. Some things probably could have been explained better, but who knows; as thorough as they were, some of the missing details was probably intentional. This is a good one for everyone. But if you're 30 and older and love a good nostalgia-esk experience, WATCH THIS SHOW!!

I really, don't get how it get's 8/10, atm it lacks attention to details and depth of the plot. I only put 5 starts for the great main actors playing.

What absolutely awful drivel, almost as though the acting was forced and seemed very fake, not at all natural and no standout performances.

Ludo is a mixture of brilliantly arranged 4 diff stories in the format of ludo game ! Anurag basu is a brilliant man ! The screenplay of this movie is very complex but yet we understand everything ! Cinematography is next level ! Story writing, character depth everything is just perfect ! Climax could have been more good , this is the only weakness in movie ! Music is on another level and is perfectly placed in movie ! Performances of all actors are up to the mark ! Anurag basu is a genius , the way he related all stories is just exceptional ! Overall this movie contains everything humour , emotion , a bit romance !! I personally loved rajkumar rao's character (funnily emotional) ! Overall ludo is a must watch film !

It's hard to find what's so very accurate about this film. From the off, the viewer is offered the chance to feel empathy for agony. These are adolescents and the chosen audience will be acutely heightened when reacting. I applaud the two young directors for their economy and timing.
Beware though. The efficiency of their direction is well tuned. We are reminded of how very hard it was, as children, to face fears whilst hiding them. Not understanding the cause of feelings but being afraid and guilty and to blame for ordinary events. Ouija, the Haunted House round the corner. Being different.
Like the content if this film. Caution is advised. Be careful who you share it with. The medium IS the message.
Like The Haunting. The Exorcist, and those others that are uniquely scary, this does the job very well.

Ever since I started reading the book 13 Reasons Why, I had to watch the TV show. I liked many aspects of the show, especially how easy it was to relate to as a high school student. By having just the little drama filled issues and swearing out of frustration really helped me connect to the characters. Just by watching the first episode of the show, I could already tell how the tragedy affected each person on the tapes. I liked this because it showed me that even by doing something that you may think is harmless, can actually affect someone big time. Another thing I liked is that every time Hannah was not in the scene, the color changed form a light warm orange to a cold blue. This made me think, that maybe Hannah was the light to some people in the world and when she was not there, life became hard to deal with. Not only was the content of the show easy to relate to, but the characters were an accurate representation of high school students. In most TV shows the high school characters look like young adults, but in this show I thought the characters fit their characters. Not only was the show 13 Reasons Why, a show that was easy to relate to, but it was a suspenseful and meaningful show that I would recommend to anyone.

It's one of the most boring series I've ever watched. However, first 2 episodes were great then it started to go down. 10 episodes are too much actually for the story. It should be 5 maximum. Despite that, acting and directing were pretty good.

Waited an age for this only to be bored asf.the singing guy just cant act to the point i want to jump in the tv and strangle the little b#$/ard. total disappointment this couldve been great.yet just trying too hard. 3rd episode in i knocked it off.
| 4 |
Being an Indian i can say this is the best movie i have ever watched . The whole plot is based on the real operation "the surgical stike" that was performed. Vicky kaushal's performance was outstanding. It depicts how the surgical stike has been actually done and with very much precision .

What happens when two depressed people trapped in unhappy marriages find themselves in Tokyo? You get "Lost in Translation," a story of two lonely people lost deep inside themselves.
Bill Murray is perfectly cast as Bob Harris, a has-been actor who is in Tokyo to film whiskey ads and do some annoying TV interviews. Rookie actress Scarlett Johansson is also great as Charlotte, a lonely young wife of a photographer. They meet in a hotel bar, and its friendship at first sight. Together they paint the town, learn about each other, and find in each other a reason to live.
While the performances are Oscar worthy, Sofia Coppola's direction is not. She could have done much more in developing their friendship, even have the pair have second meaning-of-life talk. (The one they had--simply Murray and Johansson in bed, fully clothed, wondering if life ever gets any easier--was the best scene in the movie.) Other than the karaoke scene, during which Murray does a funny rendition of Elvis Costello's "Peace, Love, and Understanding," the music was just out there. The movie is rated R because of one completely unnecessary scene in a Japanese nudie bar, while a song called (I'm not kidding) "F--- the Pain Away" plays. Take out that scene, you have a cleaner and probably better PG13 or even PG film. She'll get better.
Overall, a good movie that could have been better. 5/10.

Clearly I'm not a Judd Apatow fan.Close high school friends try to get the girl and deal with the fact that very soon they will be at different colleges.Good funny, but not my cup of tea coming of age comedy that I just couldn't connect to. I think my problem is that a good number of people I know really like this film that it built up an unreasonable expectation. Then again I'm not a fan of anything Producer Judd Apatow has put out from his own film Knocked Up, to the films he either wrote or produced Walk Hard, Talladega Nights, Fun With Dick and Jane, Anchorman, Kicking and Screaming. Watching the DVD I found the need to jump to the next chapter a couple of times, not a good sign. Your mileage may vary.

Talk about sound and fury signifying nothing! Okay, the sets, costumes and cinematography were great, Johnny Depp was interesting (if confusing),and the action scenes were there but for some reason this movie never touched me. I just watched it, trying to figure out why Johnny Depp was playing a gay pirate when there was nothing in the script about it.

A sweaty Chris Hemsworth and bad acting by the kid with zero plot sums up Extraction.

I'm downrating this movie strongly in response to the unbelievable amount of positive hype it's gotten (objectively I'd rate it a 4). I'm usually easy to please with movies; I loved Batman Returns. But "Dark Knight" was badly screwed up, IMO. What a pity.
Pros: the acting was excellent (Ledger gives an all-out performance), and the visuals were great.
Cons: some people have described this as a horror movie. But it's a horror movie without a good plot, without heroes, and without any emotionally satisfying defeat of the horror.
Plot's a mess. Script was written by the director and his brother. It feels like the two pontificated and out-clevered themselves into writing a script that 1) tries to crams in *way* too much material and 2) feels awkward, meandering, preachy, and more interested in ideas than in characters or stories.
No coherent storyarc; pacing is wrong. About halfway through the movie, there's a big death scene that in any other movie would have been part of the movie climax. But here, it's just another in an ongoing string of disasters. You have no idea where the movie's going after that; it devolves into one threat/action scene after another.
Movie goes on far too long (people were muttering thru the last half, in my theater) and then just -- stops. No sense of triumph or closure; just another limp failure. One guy behind me said, "Well, whatever. I need a beer."
Characterization was screwed. Multiple characters did things that made no sense logically in the story, or for their established personality. Because dialogue depends on decent characterization much of the dialogue sucked. The romance elements? Yawn. Interpersonal relationship and conversational insights into characters? Double yawn.
The heroes are shown as failures -- flustered, outmaneuvered, emotionally and morally bankrupt. Yeah, I want moral complexity in a superhero movie but it also helps if the heroes are sometimes allowed to be, you know, heroes.
Overall recommendation: worth seeing for the acting and visuals, but plot and characterization stink.

Best way to describe this show is tediously slow and boring with a lot of filler and unnecessary changes. There is really too much "filler" for this episode with over 80% of Episode 1 being filler, there is literally a 15 minute episode here so far. Now, I don't know if this was because of poor casting choices or bad directing, but all of the acting performances for the main characters have been bland, boring and at times very crappy. I typically wouldn't care about the casting choices being different to the source material, which in this case would be the video game, if the performance is good. After all, to this day I still prefer and enjoy Brandy's performance as Cinderella (1997) to any other version cause that one is so well-written and acted that I didn't care about the casting choice being different or diverse. Story is not accurate to the source material and again if better, wouldn't care about minor story changes. Other than that, the photography is great and since I haven't yet seen the special effects on the Clickers to give a proper opinion, I will update with that later.

There are two reasons why you should watch this movie: A if you are wondering who is that ant man that appears in other avengers' movies B if you have watched the first movie and you were hoping that they might have improved this one. And there are two reasons why you shouldn't watch this: A if you find it just rediculous that there is a man who rides ants or is a super hero that the only thing he does is to call ants and grow small or large. If this was only a comedy, or a parody of the superhero movies, than yes, this one will be interesting. But if you think that it takes itself too seriously, than don't watch it. B if you can't remember what happened in the first movie. The first ant man film was actually it's best, so if you find it that forgetable, than this one will be even more so.

This film has been seriously hyped - like many other viewers, I expected much more than it delivered. Almost everyone has had that experience of being disappointed by a film that you have been really looking forward to - this was a prime example. First of all the acting - Keanu Reeves and Joseph Gordon-Levitt - separated at birth, and neither can act at all. I liked Ellen Page very much in Juno, but she was sadly miscast in this role. Not that any actress could have made sense out of her character - she was at random times a newbie, who needed the basics explained, and/or an authority on how the whole thing worked. The plot was filled with these messy holes, but it wasn't entirely negative - some of the effects were fun, and DiCaprio is always good, as was most of his supporting cast. On the whole, worth seeing, just don't expect it to be the best film you ever saw.

Underwhelming. The "single shot" might be technically brilliant but it's distracting and didn't really work for me. The plot and characters are weak - barely believable at times. It's an "ok" film but don't believe the hype.

Netflix has done it again with such a captivating series. I can't wait for the 2nd season. Really interesting idea of remaking the series, I was surprised to see some bad reviews, though the ratings are keep improving, which is making sense otherwise!

A pointless waste of time. I couldn't help but feel utterly disappointed after catching John Wick 4. I mean, seriously, what a waste of time! I had high hopes for this one, but it turned out to be a snoozefest disguised as an action-packed extravaganza.
I get it, John Wick is this legendary assassin seeking revenge or whatever, but come on! The plot was so convoluted and confusing that I found myself daydreaming about my next walk in the park rather than trying to figure out who Wick was after this time.
And don't even get me started on the dialogue. I expected some badass one-liners and cool catchphrases, but it was like the writers had a contest to see who could come up with the most cliché and cringe-worthy lines. I half-expected John Wick to break out into a Shakespearean soliloquy at any moment.
As for the action scenes, sure, there were plenty of them, but they felt like a never-ending blur of bullets and punches. I couldn't even keep track of who was fighting who half the time. Where was the finesse? The choreography? It was just mindless violence without any substance. I'd rather rewatch a YouTube compilation of cats doing ninja moves.
And let's talk about the runtime - I found myself checking my watch every five minutes, wondering when this ordeal would finally be over. I could have spent that time doing something way more productive, like mastering the latest video game or catching up on sleep.
In conclusion, John Wick 4 was a total letdown. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you're into headache-inducing plots, cringe-worthy dialogue, and action scenes that make you question the meaning of life. Save yourself the agony and find something more worthwhile to do with your time, like, I don't know, reorganizing your living room.

It takes ages for anything to actually happen and, when it does, it's soooo slooow... are they actually lost in space? They seem to know a lot of people and every place they visit, how is it lost in space... I thought the film was bad... this is worse as it's much longer...

What a terrible film, horribly wrongly set music. Could they not afford more planes to create more realism? Terrible acting all round. Absolutely woeful.

Amanda Seyfried gives a decent performance, but the series is too drawn out and slow. This might have worked better as a made for TV movie rather than an eight part series. I was too bored to bother watching the whole run. There's not enough story to support the length so they filled it in with mundane languid scenes. Someone lied due to greed. Five words sum it up.

I'm just astonished and really shocked at the direction. If you want an epic direction which is truly touching and inspiring at every damn point, Rakeysh Mehra is definitely gonna give you that. If you're thinking that the length of the movie is too long, it's certainly isn't. The movie never, ever ceases to bore you and becomes the point of interest for the whole damn three freaking hours. The movie revolves around the hard work, horrors and happiness of Milkha Singh which is totally inspiring with it's bliss of charm. It starts off a bit slow but do not worry, it offers you more than what you're paying for, it just gives you those feels and even brings your tears into reality at some points. The movie GIVES you what you exactly want. It entertains as much as a inspiring movie can and takes the level of touching to a stupendous different level. Portraying Milkha Singh's troubles, struggles, achievements and his sheer desire and zeal to break the world record and become the top athlete, has been brilliantly done by the director. Farhan's physical training and his hard work are beautifully and remarkable displayed which absorbs you and lets you feel the deep and intense emotions. Some of the scenes are thoroughly moving and give you goosebumps which make you feel like you're watching one of the best Bollywood movies ever. The desire of Milkha Singh to eat, to run, to love, to win, for his country, family and his love has been portrayed excellently.
Overall, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is one of the best movies ever made in Bollywood and if you're missing on this one, you'll regret your whole life. The movie delivers the story, pace and the inspiration in it's own excellent and different way which cease to capture your heart.
My Rating - 10/10.

What can i say. It is a bad movie by any standard. The script was not existent. Keanu's acting is really bad, even his limping is bad.His lines are not longer than 5 words. (And miraculously he doesn't age at all. I want the name of his plastic surgeon, please.) His face is always covered in blood for whatever reason. The shootings are like in an arcade game with no finese.
There is some entertainment values i might add. There's non stop action with lots of shootings if you're into that , that is. The cinematography is quite good. I like the shoot outs in the museum.That's a plus point.

This is a very weak movie! Didn't need to see it. Waste of good actors.

There are some major differences between The Dark Knight and Begins. Firstly, the music is extremely disconcerted compared with the 'majestic but unfinished' tones of Begins - but it suits the film's tone: Anarchy in every sense. There was a more solid singular villain (compared with the many in Begins) - but there was also a lot more henchmen in TDK. The martial art direction was faster and more efficient - as mentioned in the film, learning through experience.
I was disappointed at the role of Scarecrow in this film, it just felt like a loose thread and wasn't quite closed up or explained, and the ending, while it wasn't what I expected (others have said that it was predictable, but for me it wasn't) was solid and suited the film well.
All in all, this is a film that is quite close, if it isn't already, a masterpiece. Nolan has a great thing going and unlike previous 'Superhero' adaptations (Spiderman and Fantastic Four for example), there isn't campiness creeping in. In face, if Batman Begins was 10/10, The Dark Knight deserves a 12. Quite simply, the best possible sequel that could've been given.

"Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" swings into theaters with a triumphant return to the multiverse, delivering an exhilarating and visually stunning sequel to the groundbreaking animated film that captured audiences' hearts. Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos and Kemp Powers, this highly anticipated follow-up takes the Spider-Verse concept to new heights, expanding the possibilities of the Spider-Man universe and leaving fans in awe.
Picking up where the first film left off, we find Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) still navigating his dual life as a high school student and Spider-Man. As he continues to grow into his role as a hero, Miles discovers an interdimensional portal that leads him to meet another Spider-Man, Gwen Stacy (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld), from a different universe. Together, they embark on an electrifying adventure that takes them through various dimensions, encountering new allies and enemies along the way.
The standout feature of "Across the Spider-Verse" is undoubtedly its jaw-dropping animation. The film effortlessly blends different animation styles, combining traditional 2D animation with vibrant, computer-generated visuals. Every frame is a mesmerizing work of art, with a dazzling array of colors, textures, and dynamic movements that immerse the audience in a comic book come to life. From the dazzling action sequences to the intimate character moments, the animation is a visual feast that continually pushes the boundaries of what is possible in animated filmmaking.
The story itself is a thrilling ride that seamlessly weaves together multiple narratives across the Spider-Verse. As Miles and Gwen traverse different dimensions, they encounter alternate versions of beloved characters, including an older Peter Parker (voiced by Jake Johnson) and the enigmatic Spider-Man 2099 (voiced by Oscar Isaac). The interplay between the characters is both heartfelt and humorous, as they navigate their differences and find common ground in their shared responsibility as Spider-Men and Spider-Women.
The film's script is sharp and witty, filled with clever references and meta-humor that will delight comic book fans and casual viewers alike. It deftly balances the lighthearted moments with emotional depth, exploring themes of identity, friendship, and the weight of being a hero. The voice cast delivers exceptional performances, infusing each character with distinct personalities and capturing the essence of their respective Spider-Man counterparts.
Alongside the captivating animation and engaging story, "Across the Spider-Verse" benefits from a stellar soundtrack that perfectly complements the film's energy. The music selection spans various genres and eras, adding an extra layer of dynamism to the already electrifying sequences. From adrenaline-pumping action scenes to introspective character moments, the soundtrack elevates the film's emotional impact and leaves a lasting impression.
If there's one minor drawback to "Across the Spider-Verse," it's that the film ends on a tantalizing cliffhanger, leaving audiences hungry for more. However, this only serves to heighten anticipation for the next installment, promising an even grander adventure in the future.
In conclusion, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" is a breathtaking and enthralling cinematic experience that surpasses its predecessor in every aspect. With its groundbreaking animation, captivating storytelling, and a superb voice cast, the film sets a new standard for animated superhero movies. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Spider-Man mythos and a love letter to fans who have embraced the Spider-Verse. This movie is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates the art of animation and the timeless heroism of Spider-Man.

This movie was highly recommended and it plain and simple did not live up to its hype. Animal house was better than this, The Last American Virgin was better than this. Even Porky's was better. This movie is predictable for those that have seen these already. There are many other movies with this type of plot that are far better than this movie. Don't waste your time with this one...or see it to see what everyone is raving about. Super Bad, the only thing good about this movie was its name. I am now wondering whether I should waste my time with Pinapple Express...although I did like Knocked Up to some extent. Judd Apatow attempts to poke fun at the life of a loser or the normal ignored guy. He is sometimes funny but too predictable. I don't think Seth Rogen is that funny. Funny is Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Chris Rock,

I actually enjoyed this movie. More on that, and why later. Why, oh why, do we need to have movies last over 2 hours? Seriously? No really SERIOUSLY? What does an extra 49 minutes convey to an audience that 2 hours could not with careful editing. I think it's a ploy, to buy more $10 popcorn and $5 beverages, oh and to miss part of the film while you visit the bathroom without a pause button at your disposal. Only to want to rent the movie on DVD or otherwise see it again. I don't know anyone that cannot visit the bathroom at least once in almost three hours, but then again I am in the older demographics here.
Anyway, the movie was done well, actors did their jobs and I had to piss before half way through the thing. Just me you say? I think not.
Hollywood, get your heads out of your buttocks and limit films to under two hours. My ONLY exception to this rule to date is Braveheart. Great movie, still too long. Hollywood you listening?

I really don't write reviews but it seems I have to in order to have a chance of keeping shows I like.
First of all love witches, and there aren't many witch shows out there, and this one is so darn good. It's exiting and unexpected and unik I so grateful for this show and I want to see more.
Don't know what to say exactly but please keep this show!

I love this movie very much. Not just because I have been a fans of Chow for about 15 years, not just because of the great Kung Fu moves in the movie, but the most important thing is that I am moved by the changes of Chow,used to be a famous comedy actor,now have become a true director, and let the movie to tell his dream and show respect to the greatest martial artist -- Bruce Lee.
Well,this movie is also very funny, like the chasing between Chow and the Fat lady, like the scene that they throw the knives....etc Besides,the dancing at the beginning is also interesting, and the funny Crocodile Gang..
I wish you call love this movie :)

Naturally, a film that tries to appeal to *everyone* is not going to satisfy everyone equally. While "chick flicks" and "teenage comedies" are genres defined by their demographic, the summer blockbuster, and especially *this* summer blockbuster, are designed to have the mass appeal of the french fry.
There are a few embarrassing moments of either unfunny comedy, or schmaltz, or strange ideas about what New York looks like, but overall I enjoyed this picture. The action scenes look good, and there is some believable emotional plot elements. In retrospect, people will find that the first film was indeed better, but hey.

This movie is a perfect example of the director's name superseding the quality of the film itself in terms of critical reception.
I'm convinced that 99% of the people who gave this movie a 10/10 simply can't stand admitting one of their favorite, adored directors spat out this self-congratulatory, egotistical snooze-fest.
As many others have astutely pointed out, if ANYONE other than QT had tried to get this script (if you can even call it that) made, they'd be kicked to curb faster than you can say "hollywood fanboy."

I don't normally write reviews but I just read some of them & thought they were a bit harsh.
It seems some people like to be spoon-fed every little detail & plot point when they watch a movie. "Why didn't it explain this? Why didn't it show that? Why were some people affected differently?" etc... ffs!
It's a movie about an unseen terror which makes people want to hurt themselves & others once they see it. That's pretty much it. What we get to watch for a couple of hours is how a small group of people choose to deal with the situation they're in. Some of it is predictable, yes, but people are generally quite predictable & clichéd in real life, too.
I personally felt the acting, special effects, cinematography, sound, etc... were all very good. Reason enough to watch the film.
On top of that, there were elements of other movies I've enjoyed over the years which could be found in this. The Crazies, Dawn of the Dead (remake), The Happening, Blindness, World War Z, The Mist, etc...
As a father of two young boys (6 & 3), I also found the scenes where Bullock's character struggles to keep the two 5 year olds safe (in the boat, in the woods, etc...) particularly distressing as it was all too easy to imagine how my own kids would be wandering off in different directions & constantly wanting to remove their blindfolds.
In summary, it's a decent enough way to spend a couple of hours if you're into this sort of genre (post-apocalyptic, horror, science-fiction). If, however, you're wanting to watch something with a clearly defined start, middle & end, & with every last detail explained to you, then save yourself the potential anguish & maybe watch something else.

The movie ending is so boring. History of the movie is tragic from the beginning of the movie.

First off, I'll admit I'm not a big fan of either the comics or the first film. However, director John Faverau really did make this enjoyable for us "non-geeks" as well as the "geeks". Decent story and interactions with Tony and Pepper were enjoyable. I think the weakest writing was for the Scarlett Johnannsen character, but her acting was good in spite of that. The main attraction for me, even though I'm a fan of Robert Downey Jr., was Mickey Rourke and he did not disappoint. He's the best thing about this film when he's in a scene. Not the anyone else is a slouch, but I'm glad Mickey is back in films. I will add that I can't picture anyone else playing Tony Stark, though. Very impressed with the CGI and other special effects. I don't recall as much humor or banter between the characters in the first, but thought it was appropriate (in IM2)and kept the film's tone lighter. Best summer film so far.
Suitable for most kids over the age of 9 years old.

If Hollywood has Godfather then after 2012 india can show their masterpiece which is in 2 parts.
This cult movie will live almost more than 100 years and it is one of the best movie in last 100 years of indian cinema.
You feel that everything is happening in real, in front of you, not on celluloid.
If you haven't watch this magic yet, stop everything and watch this first.

i / Intuduction Change up the 5th David Dobkin's comedy movie narrate the story of two buddy who whant to switch their position in life.Ryan Reynolds (at role of Mitch) and Jason Bateman (at role of Dave) are the good artical spouse and create the comic times in movie.
ii / Main Body The Movie focuses on human being greed.he never be satisfied & he want more & more... Dave is a Married and has work,three children,a beautiful wife and luxury home.. in oppiside we have Mitch:a single and amateur actor of advertisement,cute & has s.e.x with stronger every week..but at a night when they urinate in a fount they wish at same time they have position of the other an tomorrow morning they have their body .. but another soul !! The film reaches a climax when Mitch make decision to change .. he realize that he is embarrassing ..he see him friend and envy him for porgress for tring.. I think the screenplay make very comic sense .. . Change position of two buddy is interesting..two friend try to prevent ...
A conclusion Maybe it isn't a masterpice and comy but i suggast u if u want to change watch it .. it show u can change .. It isn't certainly at the top of my list of good movies. But i will watch it again ..

Where do I even begin? The amount of depth, foreshadowing and messages contained in this show is astounding. Sometimes you have quick shots of animals doing what they want. It represents freedom, and everything the main characters want. But it also shows how with all the technology and things to do in this world, most animals are still freer than most people ever will be. And if you really think about it, the basic premise of this show is just a glorified version of how too many people in this world feel. Trapped, surrounded by monsters.
The foreshadowing in this show is the best I've ever seen and it's not even close. Mind you, I'm 15 years old and haven't seen a whole lot, but it still blows everything I've seen previously out of the water, it's unbelievable. When a show like Attack on Titan has as many twist turns as it does, you would expect it to not be nearly as entertaining on the second watch. Wrong. That's because almost every little detail that you thought had no meaning at the time makes so much sense to the overall story now. So many times was it alluded to about "that" reveal in season 2, it's honestly just mindblowing. So watching it a second time is almost just as enjoyable as the first, because now you can pick up on these things.
And absolutely everything that didn't make sense to you before, makes sense the second time. EVERY little detail that didn't make sense is explained. Even something like why Ymir acts the way she does. You could write that off as just an annoying one dimensional character. But there are reasons behind why she is, and it makes complete and perfect sense. And that's only one of the many, many examples of this in the show.
On to season 1(I'm not going to be reviewing every season, but there are some important things that need to be said here). If someone has only watched season 1, it would be pretty understandable why they might hate the show. I'm not saying I didn't like season 1, I love it, but it doesn't necessarily have the cohesive storyline that the other seasons have. It's a bit all over the place, and the story is somewhat lacking, but it makes up for that with its twist and turns.
But every other season after that, does have that cohesive storyline, albeit maybe not as many shocking moments (although they're definitely still there and are mind blowing). And that sort of leads into another reason that makes this show so good. Every season is different from one another. Season 1 is an action packed rollercoaster, season 2 focuses on the side characters and adds some much needed character development. Season 3 completely changes the identity of the show, becoming a sort of political thriller and has a TON of backstory. Season 3 Part 2 combines the elements of previous seasons but somehow makes it 2x better. And season 4 elevates the story to entirely new heights and you might as well just call it a completely different show.
So don't think this show is going to suck simply because it's anime. I tried for a while to convince my dad to watch it who was skeptical, and he's loved it so far.
Also I recommend watching the show in the original Japanese with subtitles, although the English dub is definitely not bad.

Good movie with brilliant direction of Vasan Bala..never any boring moment in whole movie.. there is always little smile on your face when you watch this movie.. brilliant screenplay Simple scene make great impact for example one scene of tea serving and many more
Achint thakkar music work well...he smartly use the title song which work very good In movie and background music also engaging.
Cast done fantastic work.. Rajkumar Rao suits very well in these types of roles..radhika apte and Huma Qureshi also done good work.
Overall movie is good watch for fun and twist and tales..love the concept of presenting simple story in effective manner.

Dark City and The Truman Show were films that caused me to rethink my view of the world. The Matrix attempted to copy the themes expressed in these films with little success. It relied on energy and special effects to deliver its message. I strongly suggest that this film be skipped in favor of the previously mentioned films.

I gave this 1/10 due to the nonsensical 10/10 reviews given by previous reviewers, who obviously either worked on the production, have never seen Casablanca, or are completely stupid.
A 3/10 for CGI effort and 2/10 for bothering so a real score of 5/10. Well, What can I say to this utter pop culture nonsense, well Sorry i APOLOGISE ! to all that were involved in this real-life mess, Dunkirk was a disaster in reality and after watching Nolans attempt, I feel only more pain and humbling to the real soldiers who were trapped and left to die, by the commanding forces of the Britsh allied Armies, who sent these poor men to what was pre-warned to be a disaster.
Even if we compare the recent attempt to the 1958 Leslie Norman version we see that filmmaking despite the obvious technological advances has seriously gone backwards, Teacher states could do better, and as for Nolan don't give up the day job ...Tescos that is.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen and it's based on one of the better books I've read. Save yourself the trouble and read the book instead.

....wonder what all the hype was about. WeeClaude's review has rightfully bubbled up to the top of those Ordered By Usefulness. Wow actually the top 10 such reviews all have similar things to say...and I concur.
Like many of those reviewers, the hype helped to doom my appreciation of this film, but even without that this is just not well done. It saddens me that DC (my Comic of choice as a kid) is being handed its many capes by Marvel.
Although I await some Dark Horse cinematic dark horses!
My boys liked it okay, some of the simple boy-girl (well Amazon) humor early on, and I guess there is a leit motif of feminism. Well maybe Daughters of the (Sexual) Revolution.
I'm no connoisseur of CGI, but a lot of the action just looked really bad. Worse than say the first Spider-Man. (Well the first first).

There are very few comedies out there that are able to actually combine a rather serious plot with amazing humor. They are either just without plot (Meet the Spartans, Scary Movie) or are just depressing and unfunny (The Savages). Forgetting Sarah Marshall is brilliant in its ability to provide a real story with extremely frequent hilarious scenes. The jokes range from subtle to obvious, and almost every single one is worthy of laughing out loud. The pickiest movie-goer and the most easily amused could watch this film and enjoy it to the fullest unless they are just easily offended or not into this kind of humor or movie. The bottom line is that I enjoyed this movie more than I've enjoyed most new or old comedies.

My friend told me this was the best show he's seen, so I got really excited. He's late 30's like meC and also has never seen Harry Potter, so I thought I'd like it if he did. But halfway through episode 3 I had to stop. I feel like it's definitely aimed at teens, and reminds me of Harry Potter (even though I've never seen a full movie I know the gist of it).
I found it to be a little cringe like Veronica Mars or Sabrina (original) vibes, which is great for a teenager but not someone my age. The main actress is great!! I honestly found the show entertaining, just not enough to keep me going.
It's very very different to what I expected. I didn't expect so much supernatural/fantasy stuff. I don't want to compare it to the addam's family like others have (because it's very different) but I was still shocked at the direction it took.

This is a pretty good movie, however, you would think the producers/directors would know that when you make a Caribbean based movie, you do not use Maine lobsters on the plate! The only lobster in this island location would be Florida/Spanish lobster which have NO claws. This is typical of Hollywood no brainer writing/directing/producing. On the other hand, Walken is always great, and the rest of the cast is very good. Not to mention, the location scenery is awesome, and makes you want to be in paradise! I am a divemaster, and LOVE the islands of any kind. I so miss them whenever I can't be there. My heart is always in the Caribbean, and this movie makes me wish I was there right now.

Brilliant work by the lead actors. The action scenes have been filmed with great perfection. Intense and strong movie.

I can't fathom how can Michael Bay, the person who brought The Transformers franchise to life on the big screen (guilty for loving those movies btw, most of them at least) have made such an inconsistent mess. The tone varies from light hearted action to violent and morally divisive choise making and certain scenes are way over the top while others are deep into reality. Even the actors, Ryan Raynolds and Melanie Laurent, seriously? It's like melting Deadpool and Inglorious Bastards together, two tonally very different movies. Music is off most of the times and plot gets messy toward the end. Some characters are introduced while others completely forgotten/ignored/overly mysterious. Plenty of action though and even bigger body count (in many nasty ways to go;).
Overall not a bad movie to spend the evening, but should've chosen a path and sticked to it.

This film had it's moments, and contained interesting scenes, but I just can't get behind a movie when I couldn't care less which characters live or die. You really have to look hard to find redeeming qualities in any of them. Bruce Willis' character was really the only one I cared even a little about.

This series started off great, hooked me in the first 10 minutes and finished all three episodes back to back. But honestly, why oh why does there always have to be nude scenes. Do you have to continually degrade women in movies or shows in hopes to gain viewers?? After fast forwarding the unnecessary nude scenes of bar dancers, I found the storyline and characters very interesting and intense.

Marvel and Disney (who owns everything these days) moved to the small screen leaving some high expectations after the solid work in Marvel recent movies and they started well but they weren't consistent.
WandaVision was a pleasant surprise, it was mysterious, original and up until the very last episode not your typical Marvel work, so I praised it, Falcon and the Winter Soldier on the other hand not so much.
There are several issues, the ones that bug me the most are, the sudden shift of character personality traces, there are at least two major characters on this show (secondary ones on the movies) that have a completely shifted personality and they seem to have been added because they are familiar and they needed to make them serve the purpose of the plot, and it felt weird.
Another issue for me was the strange and fast editing of the show, it throws you off, when a bunch of scenes are placed after another without continuity, and related to the technical aspect of the series, a lot of the CGI was poor and I wasn't expecting that from one of the richest companies in the world, regardless if its for television.
The plot didn't help much, the villain's motives are a bit foggy and not that clear.
In general I don't give it a lower score because it had a lot of potential, there were some nice scenes, cool characters and concepts were introduced and could be explored way more if given time, and also the messages it conveys I do agree with them, a show or movie has the right to be political, but it needs to be careful when it chooses to be, not to steer away from an organic story-line, and I'm not sure if they got that right.
Not a very interesting one I am still hoping for the next Marvel TV shows, already scheduled.

Even though I'm not usually a manga over anime guy, I still prefer it that way with this franchise. The manga is just so much faster when it comes to storytelling and pacing in general. I still liked the anime.

Plot: at the beginning I thought that this will be a classic American movie where the main character is a super and invincible man. Then there were some absurd things like... well, no spoiler. But at the end it unveils nice and enjoyable. Well, if you like action movie. The story is pretty much the same (with some various and interesting development that gives the movie a seven instead of a six). I really appreciate the human part of the characters. Finally is displayed in a movie!
Actors & Acting: I've been amazed by Rudhraksh Jaiswal and Neha Mahajan performance. Anyway every other actor do a good job too.
Soundtrack: good.
Conclusion: this movie is for just who like or seeks some action.
Note: I found interesting also the places that are showed up.

As a comic book geek and a Sam Raimi fan, I really expected much more from this film. I wasn't a big fan of the first film, and this film had flashes of greatness but really fell flat for the most part.
The action sequences were excellent, though some were intensely (and unnecessarily) violent. The CGI looks much better than the first film's, and makes this one worth seeing.
The biggest flaw in the film is the fact that it includes long, drawn-out (and frankly boring) sequences of exposition that detract from the action. I'm tired of seeing the inner struggle of Peter Parker. Where the heck is Spider-Man?
I hope in Spider-Man 3 that there will be less Aunt May, and more butt kicking.

They obviously believe in the "quantity vs. Quality" business theory, and seem quite content to continue pumping out these mediocre entries in the Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar brands, until their formerly dedicated audiences finally cry "enough!", and just...walk away, shaking their collective heads at how sad it was, the day The Mouse bought the rights to these storied franchises. My only remaining hope is that they'll pump the breaks and not try to oversaturate us with the two best remaining storylines - those being the wonderfully heart-filled Ant Man and Spider-Man series, which are the only ones (so far) they haven't managed to ruin. MFF/Honolulu 7-23-22.

Pros: Beautifully filmed Good CGI Awesome/very stylish costumes Easily digestible Extremely diverse cast Promotes international diplomacy Funny LOTRs reference with Sean Bean
Cons: One dimensional protagonist No sustained chemistry between the characters (spec. captain and crew) Generic 'lost in space' move - someone is lost somewhere... must go get him Overly masculine Protagonist acts like an overly optimistic bro Protagonist acts and is portrayed more like a US Army soldier than astronaut Overly simplistic Romanticizes space, science, and travel I don't like Matt Damon's face Chiwetel Ejiofor should have played the lead role as the protagonist - his acting is much better than Damon's

While not seeing previous Greta Gerwig's movies might have been a mistake on my side, starting exploring her filmography with Barbie (2023) was surely quite an interesting choice. Honestly, I was a little scared and worried about finally seeing this film - after so much hype on Twitter and other social media it would be disappointing finding out that the movie is not a 10/10 masterpiece. Eventually, I decided that no matter how bad (or good) Barbie actually is, at least I will have the pleasure of seeing Ryan Gosling's astonishing face (and body) on the big screen. The first few scenes of the film absolutely captivated me with their doll-like, plastic pink aesthetic, showing Barbieland as a perfect, colorful paradise. I have to admit though, once our two main characters travelled to the real world, things got a little cheesy. Of course I didn't expect Barbie to be deep or dramatic, but for me it fell into the family toys-come-to-life movie cliche a little bit too much. However, I really liked the comedious aspect of the film, all the references to history of the Barbie doll and others. I might as well say that Barbie became my new comfort movie, something to watch with your best buds, or even a loved one.

Having watched 1 season and 6 episodes of 2 season, I couldn't take it more watching this boring episodes. 1st season was ok more or less, but ended without any unexpected turn of events, just like you were interrupted from watching. 2nd season is just talking and talking and talking and almost nothing else. If you have already watched all good films and can not find what to watch next - you can watch this one, but watching this right after such series as Dexter and Fargo - lowers the mark significantly.
