This is a film many people think a lot about and try to read messages from in one way or another, when it seems it was just a nice film Coen wanted to make, end of story. I liked the most of it: the woods, the winter, and with a pregnant cop(!) as the main character. Since I'm from Sweden, it was kind of cool picking up the Americanized Swedish names - Gustafson, Lundegaard and a couple of more - it gave the film a more specific, unique and not very often used location and background which was really nice. There were not so good points however. I found the dialects too thick (they might talk like that in that are, I have no idea), the character development too shallow and the worst, too many loose strings and oddities thrown in. An Asian guy makes an appearance from nowhere, doesn't contribute and then disappears. The fate of a kid is never resolved, and so on. However, the thing that really lifts the film are the actors, mainly Buscemi in his best role ever. William Macy is great too and Frances McDormand do well, if not great. Stormare has the weakest part, mainly because his character is almost mute. Not easy to work under such conditions. So in short, I'd say this is well worth seeing after all. See it not as a Hollywood but as a well done school project.

To young viewers I would recommend watching with an adult, although this series contains things very difficult to watch and talk about, it finally opens a platform for the discussion. I feel people need to watch this with the realization that this is happening, especially parents and leaders who normally would shut down this uncomfortable situation. Watch it to gain knowledge of what can be done differently.

Producers Judd Apatow and Shauna Robertson gave Jason Segel the chance of a lifetime to write and star in a film that ended up packed with comedic acting talent. The supporting ensemble cast and four leads (Segel, Bell, Kunis and Brand) perform Segel's script with synergistic perfection, generating a chemistry that is contagious to the audience. Fate sometimes produces great opportunities... The part of Aldous Snow was written by Segal based on his friend, actor Charlie Hunnam. Charlie was cast in the role, but he quit at the first table read, paving the way for Russell Brand's big break (which he did not waste, making the character an iconic role-of-a-lifetime for the actor/comedian). Each of the four lead actors shines in the spotlight - Kunis and Bell both look stunning and connect well with the parts and audience. Segel and Brand pull off their numerous laugh-out-loud funny scenes with subtle perfection. All four seem born to play the parts. My favorite Apatow film, 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' combines a great script with perfect casting, across the board great acting performances, and uniquely effective direction by Nicholas Stoller. The result is a deserved 8+ IMDb Rating, as this film is one of the very best romantic comedies of the 2010's.

**UPDATE** Hah! I came here to review this sad film after watching it last night (Dec 2023).... only to find I'd already seen the film and extensively reviewed it here (below) sometime in the past. That's how unmemorable Alpha is. Sad to say. Had potential and clearly much investment, but lame directing and acting through and through neuters it completely. **ORIGINAL** Off the top, this is a visually beautiful film in terms of landscapes, vistas, skies. But don't be fooled... there's more CGI in them thar views than you can even dream of. Trained eyes see that most of this film was shot on green screen and the rest is entirely CGI compositing. But hey, that's not my gripe with this film. I enjoyed all those views and scenes. My gripe is with the utter lack of attention to making the acting characters authentic, every one of them. It is all too common and disappointing for films with stories in exotic settings -- in this case, 20k yrs ago -- to completely blow it when it comes to making the characters believable. For me, every single character in Alpha looked like a modern person that had walked into the studio off the street an hour or two earlier. Start with the white perfect teeth -- completely unrealistic since way back then most teeth would be missing, malformed or dirtier than dirt. Then there's the freshly scrubbed faces, and the coiffed hair. For example, every time the young man at the center of the story leans forward, his straight line hair cut would sway into view revealing the precision cut work of the hairstylist he'd just been to. Continuing... the behaviors and gestures of the characters, especially the lead characters, were totally modern, self-assured, wink-and-a-nod, knowing glances, charismatic smiles (main dude, mainly), smooth movements in every step. I swear there was one point in the film when it became so obvious that these guys (I think there was one very modern looking woman) were just walking through the script paces, no attempt to seem natural. Here's the deal. The producers of Alpha should have invested in a qualified technical expert on paleo human behavior, anthropology and forensic anatomy as it applies to motion. WIkipedia is not enough if you want a film that rises to the level of authenticity this one could have. Yes, as is often quoted, humans from that era were anatomically identical (for the most part) to modern humans -- they'd mix in with a modern crowd. But only on macro appearance. They'd stand out glaringly for their lesser evolved behaviors, movements and sensibilities -- not to mention their stinking dirty bodies, horrid teeth, shocking scars and wounds, and vastly different psychologies and social skills. For me, lack of authenticity turned Alpha into a silly-but-beautifully-rendered film instead of a masterpiece that'll stand the test of time. This was not a Stanley Kubrick film. And, I didn't even mention the horrible cardboard acting. The young boy at the center has no acting talent whatsoever. Send him back for seasoning. Woof!

Expected great things from this film, after all I love space films. Starts off well with great visuals, despite the rambling of Clooney. They manage to bounce off craft with no suit damage somehow, then defying the laws of physics, they lose him. We are then treated to 5 mins or so of Bullock in her pants, which is the part the trailers and the stills focus on. After that it get incredibly dull, she cannot carry the film on her own. Nothing of interest happens, it just makes no sense. The film then falls to a 3 star rating after that and I am just thankful I didnt have to pay to sit through it , as it's a turkey. How people can give it a rating of 9 or ten, beggars belief.

Not as good as many people say. If you have seen more than 3 good movies you will see through this one during the first act. Is not surprising and is not that well acted.
5
It plays on the loveable rogue aspect to Loki's character which will work well in a series to draw the audience in. Strong chemistry and promise with Owen Wilson's character. It's a bit daft but that's why we love Marvel!

Outstanding movie , credits go to the director , and then crews.

I gave it two episodes and initially I thought that was one too many. Anthony and Stephanie doing their best with clunky dialogue but even their charm couldn't save a show that looks like it blew all it's budget on the music licensing. The driving sequences coordination were awful, cars jump distance to each other in a blink then there's distance again the next frame, really jarring. Some nice scenery and cinematography but the direction and world building is below par ... especially after the master class that is "The Last of us". I left the show after those two episodes thinking good riddance, but then I saw a few reviews saying it improved after episode 3 and 4 and ... They were right! Stick with the show and it does improve and it has some good laughs, nice payoffs and setups for potential future seasons.

I do not see this as a horror.But a colorful entertainer with fun and feel good moments.Got so addicted

She is difficult to took at and unnecessary. I understand the need for the character in the original but the reboot doesn't need an annoying character like this.
7
Cavill does surprisingly good job, although he could tone down the fake voice a bit. Otherwise, casting is terrible. Writing is terrible. This time the critics were right. I give it 1/10.

The jokes were terribly misplaced and it was a very sad attempt at comedy. I agree that Chris's "comedic" ability should be shown off but this wasn't the movie to for it. If it weren't for the fact that this was "a key set-up to infinity wars" I'd say it isn't even worth seeing which is upsetting because you've got a-list actors and actresses on this movie. I blame this all on bad directing, the story line is good, the actors are great, the set wasn't too bad... it's the sad attempt at being funny. If this movie doesn't kill the Thor series please change directors.

When I first gave it a glimpse on steam,the big headline"complex twists let you get lost " immediately fastend me .It is not usual for me to watch the sort of detecive movie like this one and I sit down preparng for a welcome to something exciting but I was frustrated.The plot is good but every twist happend just seems like the producer telling you "oh buddy you must remember it because I am telling you it relates to something serious"See ,it is the key problem .

The first episode was fun, messing with Loki stuff. But then there is nothing else. The plot is the same boring plot plot of everything now. So the only thing this show could have possibly had going for it was Loki being Loki. And.... not so much. I didn't make it to the final episodes, which is about par for the Marvel TV shows. I don't think I've seen one all the way through yet. The stories just go pffft after the first couple of episodes when the writers decide it's time to stop entertaining and start preaching. I hate to say it, but Disney Marvel is making CW teen romance DC Superhero shows look good.

So many twists and turns with loads of laughter Filled with every genre

I'll start with a general look, due to this movie show us a realistic view on a war, starts with a plus. The script was normal, being based on historical facts, it is not the classic Nolan movie with plot- twists, however, he knew how to keep the thrill and suspense of the scenes. Good cinematography and decent performances, considering a young cast where Kenneth Branagh and Tom Hardy obviously excelled, make this a very good film. Now, Hans Zimmer's music always gives you goosebumps, we add the sound and film's editing, it makes the film an almost certain option to Oscar nominations, even sound mixing could be included. But the highlight was the direction of Nolan, in previous films had a cast of very popular actors, but this time made the most of some newcomers, even a teen idol, to take the biggest advantage and match the rest. So far this year, Dunkirk has been the best, so it is a highly recommended option, not only for Nolan fans, but also for the cinephiles in general.

I didn't really know what to expect from The Witcher having never read the books or played the games but I'm a big Henry Cavill fan and saw all the high ratings so I thought I'd give it a chance and I'm glad I did because I liked it a lot, even more than I thought I would! It seems that most of the negative reviews are from people who are either comparing it to the games or books (which you shouldn't, just take it for what it is) or from bots from competing streaming services that rate everything Netflix does low. They say things like "another Netflix bomb" or something like that even though Netflix has had more Oscar, Golden Globe, Emmy, etc. Nominations than any other company on the planet. Henry Cavill is such a great actor and was absolutely brilliant as the lead, as was the rest of the cast!

Talk about a return to form. After the disappointing season 3, my expectations for season 4 were quite low but I have to say this is the best after the first one. It surpasses season 3 in every possible way: better story, better acting, less dull moments, and the revelation in episode 7 (which I won't give away) is excellent. I can't wait to watch the rest.
8
Lost in Space is well produced and decently well acted. Dr. Smith is a fantastic character and really well done by Parker Posey in this series. Unfortunately, the writers while providing lots of good fast paced action and an exciting space adventure don't seem to be smart enough to figure out how to move the plot along without being horribly contrived a good part of the time. They take good characters and have them do stupid things that make no sense just to get to the next part of the story. I enjoy it but find myself regularly irritated too.
7
Honestly, all these people (read: bots) that gave this "movie" 10/10, think it is PERFECT?!. If over two hours of convoluted non-stop, nonsense action is defined as perfect, then I agree. It is, a perfect tripe mess. You'll never get these two hours and a half back!

How could anyone expect less from the guy that created "the last Jedi" and destroyed the universe that we all loved as children. I'm not a huge "knives out" fan the first one was entertaining I was able to finish it. This movie was such a mess from the get go, ensemble cast are pretty tough even for great directors but with this schmuck it was dead on arrival. Seeing Edward Norton back was probably the only upside. The whole cast acted Hollow and played down to the talent level of a hack Director. The dialogue was awful and clearly didn't have the same panache as the original knives out. If anybody is able to stay in their seat until the murder then they are a lot more patient than me.... another reviewer said it best "this is the end of western filmmaking as we know it." Another great review comment was "it's a Netflix movie what did you expect?"

How this piece of crap has those reviews and is nominated for 10 oscars beats me.

They Screwed the pooch on punisher yet again. Remember back in the 80s when studios had balls. Remember when good movies, I mean really good movies, spread through word of mouth. And not an overexposed internet hype. This series has nothing to do with the punisher from marvel comics. They should've called it the frank castle show. Cause all he does it go around as frank Castle and feel sorry for himself. Including a waay to long scene where he hammers a brick wall to pieces. Which is suppose to be a metaphor for therapy. The problem is there's almost no punisher in the entire 13 ep series. It's mostly frank castle going round being grumpy and broody. They've also changed the whole background story. Now it's not the mob anymore, who's responsible for killing his family. Now it was all part of a military cover up.Involving CIA and homeland security. Micro has been turned into a skinny,drinking,snivelling,paranoid weirdo. Who stalks his family through hidden cams in their house. And is somehow involved in the same cover up that suppose to have cost Frank castle's family ,their lives And punisher /castle suddenly need help to get guns. It makes we wonder if the people behind this ever read a single one of the comics. Punisher only punishes himself, the action is mediocre at best.Most of the episodes doesn't even have action Heck! Death wish 4 is more of a punisher flick than this crap. Season two is just as bad as season 1 there is way to much drama,and not enough killing. First off Punisher/castle Was a Retried Green beret yet here he goes into the most stupid ambushes act like an amateur . HE goes up against people who out class him,in hand to hand combat something the comix version never did. Everything that made the Punisher the Pro he was in the comix. Is stripped away. He hates him self,he don't protect the innocent. Which is totally unlike the charter he is based up on. He rushes head first into everything that could get him killed. Forget planing,who needs that right. They have turned Marwels coolest character into a soap opera. I bet in the next season, they be singing and dancing,after Netflix has turned it into a musical. Cause the have figured out that is cheaper to produce.

I wasn't a fan of Captain America: The First Avenger I rated it a 5 as to me it was just an average popcorn movie, nothing stood out about it but there was nothing terribly wrong with it either. It just felt like a prelude to Avengers and not a fully fledged film in itself. Thankfully though this sequel feels like a proper Captain America film. I liked the story of the winter soldier, there was some great action sequences and I liked Nick Cage and Black Widow getting more screen time. This is how the first film should of been. It was enjoyable and one the better MCU films up there with the first Iron Man and Avengers (not seen Guardians yet). If like me you found the first Captain America lacklustre don't let it put you off watching this one. 7/10

This is a well done film, and I watched the whole length (often not the case), but it has issues. First, you have to be patient, because: 1) it moves very slow, and 2) there's a lot of filler. Second, you have to suspend your idea of film genre's being too rigid, e.g. Is this a murder mystery, cops n' robbers, comedy, or a buffet of all three? It's a buffet. Many reviewers think very highly of the Coen brothers work, not me so much. Talented no doubt, but their work reminds me of Tim Burton and Q. Tarantino - full of themselves. Nonetheless, this film is well-directed. STORY: Based on real events, it's plausible and bizarre at the same time. That's hard for me to bear as I watched ... are people really that stupid, desperate, and living in little worlds cut off from ... But, people do these things, and not just in the isolated mid-west. Kudos for whoever chased down the details on this story because there's a lot to piece together. One of my issues is the pseudo-comedy of presenting these mid-westerners as "walkie-talkies," especially the brutally air-headed way they speak. My impression is there's an undercurrent of derision for accents, phrases, and their way of life. These mannerisms may be true, but it's unfair to convey them as being unintelligent or unsophisticated. That was my impression. ACTING: The cast did an excellent job of getting into and staying in character. No one stands out, and each was believable and genuine. Again, the raw stupidity was a bit hard to take seriously. TEMPO: Excellent tempo IF you don't mind being patient, end-to-end. Sometimes it feels like it's going to speed up, and it does a bit, but returns to its base - slow paced. Again, this pace dovetails with the whole "living in an isolated world" tenor of the film. CINEMATOGRAPHY: Excellent scenery, sound, and realism. I must give an A+ for the camera work. DIRECTING: As a whole, these guys do very good work - technically. I can't find a lot of error as to mechanics, but I don't care for the undertones of superiority (as I perceive them to be). There are very good directors that are are also humble, but I don't sense that with these guys. Maybe I'm wrong, and other reviewers probably don't care. I do care, and don't think I'm wrong. Overall a good film. Rating here is 7.5. Depending on your taste, a much better film in a similar setting is "Wind River" with Jeremy Renner. Enjoy.

In First 4 Episodes They Portrayed as a Sitcom (Which Was Not Funny also ). Added Some Supsense in Episode 4 But Still Some Unnecessary Scenes Dragged the series. Totally Boring Narration. Not Upto the Mark .

Congratulations to Marvel, they managed to do it! Again! Continuing to expand its machine-making and the earning money, this time they threw a great movie. The first part was good, medium, unfortunately, but I guess it is clear that the shot just as propaganda and the an introduction to the epic Avengers. Now they have changed directors and the (finally) decided to make a film about the main character of the title - Captain America (objectively, the first film did not do it). The film is a exciting, unpredictable, tense and has a few twists. Although the dream something figured out before what I've seen the movie, again surprised me. Plenty is a darker, has more special effects, fight scenes I liked them. Evans (finallyrepeat I know) played a real captain in contrast to the previous two films (first part and the Avengers). It's very well done job, I must admit that, at least to me, bigger and better than Superman of Superman from Man of Steel (I do not mean the ability, but the character). I have some minor criticisms (characters Marie Hill and Falcon), but overall I have no major complaints. I was expecting a solid popcorn movie, but I got a little more so this high rating. P. S. The film even has two scenes after the credits, so idiot who got up and went before them!) That announce new plots, new films, new projects for stamping much money.

Average performances from decent ensemble cast. Nothing groundbreaking, or anything that's not formulaic. Frances McDormand as Frances McDormand Sam Rockwell as Sam Rockwell Woody as Woody. The one actor who got shafted with poor writing and character development is Abbie Cornish. She's great and in this film was under utilized as Woody's wife, I'll forgo any spoilers. Overall Hollywood trying to portray "flyover" middle America as they call it, and only producing a lukewarm result. They think it's a cinematic triumph that tackles racism.

This is one of the best miniseries to ever be televised. It's heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Each and every character was well played. I can understand that secrecy can prevent panic, chaos and preserve power but it's sad that so many people got hurt because the truth was withheld.

Brutal, offensive and terrible. I don't like the offensive language and graphics.

It's addictive, it's hilarious, it's lovable and it's honest. So this is one of the best shows TV has ever exhibited. A strangely dysfunctional family with just one guy holding it together, is what the show is about. How we easily love Michael Bluth (played by Jason Bateman) and feel sorry about his family. How the family ventures into misadventures and how everything goes south. With a great star-cast and amazing story-line with a subtly humorous narration, one can easily love the show. I recently finished season one an hour ago and it took me not more than 10 hours straight. Now my eyes are red and my head is craving for some rest but i'd say it was totally worth it. Now after i finish writing this review , i will be running to my nearest rental store and renting season 2 of the show. I know you might say that after praising the show so much i still haven't given it a ten.. Well i've seen just season one, who knows the next few seasons might get this show a 10 from me. In my opinion watch the show, whenever, however, just go and watch it if you haven't already.

The anime is pretty decent and im suprised that people like it so much. Its maybe just me but hey if you love then you love it and that's okay. It's just not my cup of tea.
7
A beautiful film but so boring. If you like the classics such as Kill bill, I B,etc... then this may not be the Tarantino for you. The film itself is beautifully filmed. The lighting for example is top notch. But the story is all over the place and extremely boring for a Tarantino. Don't go into this expecting a lot of action. There's only one typical Tarantino action scene. But very short.

This is Guy Ritchie's take on 'Sherlock Holmes'. That alone should give you a clear sense of what to expect from this 2009. I think this film's reputation was spoilt slightly by the fact that the bafflingly popular BBC TV series started around this time too, but there are several things to like about this film, in particular a good performance from the always lovely Rachel McAdam's. It's lots of big explosions and fight scenes, and everything really you would expect from a Guy Richie film. It's up to you as a viewer to think whether that's the take you want on the famous detective. I'm no fan of the BBC TV series, but this wasn't much better.

What makes this series so good and different from previous interpretations of Hannibal Lecter is that we get to see him for whom he is as a human. The portrayl of Mads Mikkelsen has depth and meaning beyond being an object of horror to shock the public. Somehow, they brilliantly managed to humanize the devil, make him somebody you are scared of but still, feels empathy for. You can see when he cares, when he's heartbroken or regretful and all of these emotions that usually, are discarted by many horror writers. Truly, a masterpiece.

A little better than Spider-Man Homecoming but with the same philosophy... Childish superhero comedy made for children.. Nice action scenes with an OK scenario... Above average but nothing special... I would prefer the same movie done more seriously.

You got two brutal characters: Venom and Carnage and you transform those two into two comedic clowns on a PG comedic trash????? Lame cheesy jokes every 5 minutes??? The movie was ment to be a freaking R rated, for effffin sake! But they are in "association with Marvel" and they destroyed something that could be something amazing! They put two(i repeat) brutal and agresive alien like characters into a PG movie??? How disturbing this is?? Respect the comics, please!!!!! Andy Serkis...why??? Don't listen to high reviews, they are marvel fan girls who like everything what is PG! So disappointed! They make this a PG comedy just to grab cash from kids!

I'm not sure if Rotten Tomatoes critics were joking or they're just sellouts!This movie is horrible!Just the beginning of it is enough for you to figure out how cheap it is.. The color of scenes, their costumes... Funny! And plot.. Which plot? I can't say it's bad, cause there is no one!Whole movie is so pointless it hurts my inner nerd! DC just please stop making movies...Just please stop!

Only thing I watched this movie because of Chris Hemsworth. He is my favorite actor. This movie has very good Action scenes but very poor plot. And also this Accent isn't bangla from Bangladesh. Accent is Kolkata bangla, india. And Show us worng ways Bangladesh culture.

As a former chess player myself I think they did a great job of picturing the games and also showing how chess tournamenst go. I could really feel the atmosphere of the games. The quality of the series is good, acting, the story - all good. Also as a person who speaks Russian I was really pleased that they actually did an amazing job with sceens in Russian language. It was nice to hear real Russian speech rather than fake horrible accents we usually see in American movies. Although as in all american movies of such nature the ending was really predictable.

I really enjoyed the spy thriller Red Sparrow, although around the edges it may have some issues, at its core it provides the investment in the characters that make for a movie to get invested in. Lawrence was pretty good as was Joel, but the guy who plays the uncle (I really should look that up!) was a stand out. Wonderfully sinister without being cartoonish about it. The length of the film works in its favour as there is time for both character and plot development. The film has intrigue, action, sex and drama, what else does a movie of this ilk need to provide? A really good show that's worth watching :)

What if Marvel just left it alone. There was less than three good episodes in this show. Many of the others were confused and made no sense, even for an alternate reality in the multiverse. Some of the episodes even contradicted themselves and the writing was weak! Do yourself a favour and ask 'what if.....' I did something better with my time!

Cheesy acting, cheesy music, plot all over the place. Overhyped and woke!

The movie was a disaster.I am not an Iron man fan but i enjoyed the first two movies.This one is a mess and didn't have a point.Endless jokes,unnecessary scenes,way too much Tony Stark and the list goes on.It was like watching a movie making fun of a superhero. 1)The plot was bad. 2)Pepper...really?I like female characters who can handle themselves but that was completely ridiculous.I didn't know if i should laugh or cry.Maybe both. 3)The twist-BIG disappointment.I was furious. 4)final fight-It seems to me they tried to make the worst final movie confrontation in history.They nearly succeeded. 5)I feel bad for Ben Kingsley because he is a great actor and deserves better. Avoid it if you are not a fan. Avoid it if you are a fan. Actually i can't think of any logical reason(besides boredom)to watch this movie. I give it 3 stars because of the actor performances.

The show in total is great. The settings are amazing, the cast kills it. However, that's the rub Issac does such a great job portraying Steven I literally have to fast forward through his parts. I understand his character but his incompetence in the face of life and death is laid on too thick for me personally. I enjoy the idea of the characters and the acting is top notch, I just personally dislike steven's character. While I think many of the other marvel shows and even movies lately have been just meh, Moon Knight is actually worth watching.

I loved the first season of this show so much that it compelled me to read the novels and play the wild hunt; both sources having inspired this adaption and the short stories in particular were very faithfully retold in the show. I would absolute recommend the first season. The second season plot has decided to go it's own way and departed from any canon contained within either the novel or game. I don't mind this as a rule, I'm always excited for a new story and I'm not particularly wedded to the works of Sapkowski. The problem is that the story being told isn't particularly exceptional, it's adequate, it's not as interesting at the narrative contained in the books therefore I don't understand this unrecognisable deviation from the source material. For me it fails to be as compelling as much of the exceptional tv that demands our free time. It looks good, although the performances slide from exceptional to positively brick like. It's only fine.
7
I watch movies mainly for the entertainment. And by entertainment it means nothing less than an experience. I need to feel something about the movie afterwards. Or else the Jurassic park kind of an experience maybe. Sometimes you go with the flow for the acting, All performances are good but the movie just not worthy enough for them i think. Michael Shannon, man he is good. I wonder how this have been if that love story part, i mean the la la land thing was not so focused there, wonder if it was more a monster thing. like a Steven Spielberg thing!!! well i was thinking may be it would have been something else...

I loved the movie but not that much,story was so much predictable,I know this is the first part of movie,they made it just for character development I bet other future releasing parts will be great
5
I don't think that this is the best show on television. The show has a major flaw and that is that instead of visual story telling forwarding the plot it uses dialog to an annoying extent. The characters end up talking at each other in order to keep the audience on the right page in terms of plot, but this is, in my opinion, the best depiction of a highly manipulative psychopath in cinematic history. Unlike Tom Ripley, Hannibal plays a chess game and plans his moves months in advance, like a psychopath that I was close to in my personal life.

I saw Talk to Me at last year's Adelaide Film Festival. It's a supernatural horror film that marks the directorial debut of Danny and Michael Philippou. With a gripping story, impressive practical effects, and a talented ensemble cast, this movie delivers a 21st-century horror experience. Let's dive into the aspects that make Talk to Me a standout. Talk to Me follows a young woman's journey, portrayed brilliantly by Sophie Wilde, who becomes entangled with the supernatural after participating in a séance involving an embalmed hand. The film expertly blends elements of possession and the supernatural with the reality of modern teenage life, grounding the horror in relatable experiences. The themes of identity, grief, and the consequences of meddling with the unknown are explored with depth and nuance. The movie's tone perfectly balances suspense, terror, and emotional resonance, keeping us on the edge of our seats throughout. The ensemble cast of rising stars delivers stellar performances. Sophie Wilde shines in her role, capturing the vulnerability and strength of her character. The chemistry between the actors is palpable, adding depth to the relationships. Each character is well-developed, with motivations and arcs, making them relatable and engaging. Danny and Michael Philippou showcase their directorial prowess in Talk to Me. Their vision is brought to life through skilful direction, creating a visually stunning and atmospheric film. The cinematography precisely captures the eerie and unsettling moments, enhancing the overall sense of dread. The production design is meticulous, immersing the audience in the supernatural world and adding to the film's overall authenticity. The haunting score perfectly complements the film's atmosphere, heightening the tension and adding an extra layer of unease. The editing is seamless, effectively building suspense and maintaining a steady pace. The dialogue is natural and engaging, with moments of wit and emotional depth that further enhance the character development. The film's ability to blend classic horror elements with contemporary themes and characters is commendable. It explores the human psyche, delving into darkness. The practical effects and attention to detail create a truly immersive experience. While Talk to Me excels in many aspects, there are moments where the pacing could have been tightened to maintain a consistently high level of tension. Additionally, some viewers may find certain scenes too intense or disturbing, so it's important to be prepared for the film's horror elements. Talk to Me is a must-watch for horror enthusiasts seeking a fresh and chilling experience. With its gripping story, impressive practical effects, and standout performances, this film delivers on its promise of a terrifically creepy horror yarn. It leaves a lasting impact, prompting introspection and lingering unease.

After Wandavision, an offspring of Infinity War and Endgame, I expected another high quality series from Marvel. This one truly left me on my appetite. This series is solely action for the sake of action, CGI for the sake of CGI and repeatedly reminiscing on Steve Rogers. Can you give the characters, their backstory and the whole series a little more depth?

For a TV show based off of a video game series it really isn't that bad. There are quite a few references to the video game and others if you know them otherwise the references just fit into the shows dialogue. It's not the worse adaptation I've seen it's actually one of the better ones. They did a good job adding things from the game that people will recognize. It is a show not just for fans of the game series but also for new fans. The casting was done really well. The ending was the only thing that brought the score down for me. I think if they added one or two more episodes it would have been great.

A bit overrated because of Chris Hemsworth, Noomi Rapace did a same plot movie (Close) and yet it gets a lower rating

Christopher Nolan burst to stardom with the stunningly good, low-budget Memento. Since then, his hubris has got the better of him, and the more money he has to spend on movies the worse they become. Inception is all splash - yet positively awful. It is classic blockbuster in the sense that all critics were bought off with its excessive promotional budget. How every single critic gave this rubbish maximum ratings can only be explained by a bribe (do the math: as an example, a $20M budget to buy off all of ~500 critics is about $40,000 per reviewer. The difference between a 2-star and a 4-star rating will guarantee to translate to much more than $20M). All huge-budget blockbusters are the same. This one has reached the zenith of promotional ingenuity. The movie is not complex as many dodos would believe. It is boringly slow and attempts to be convoluted just so you can be duped into thinking it is deep and meaningful. The best part of the film is the last 10 seconds - the only true suspense happens in these few moments. Ironically I got pleasure from seeing my partner fall asleep during the last hour : at the end of the movie I was very curious to know if she remembered her dream ...

I absolutely LOVED season one. Good acting with a mature, well thought out storyline and just the right pace to keep it interesting without losing that reflective, "intelligent" aspect that made it unique. But even the worst Disney sing-along sequel would struggle to compare with how big a disappointment season 2 is. I've just stopped watching episode 6 halfway through and realized I haven't finished one episode of the season in a single sitting. Just too boring watching the characters reflect on their past lives and worrying about the same things over and over. I'll keep watching because I know season 3 has already been approved, but I really hope season 2 starts soon, even though there aren't many episodes left for it to do so.

Watch Alexander starring Colin Farrell instead if you want to waste a few hours of your life.boring vomit.

Ok first of all, it was ok in mostly everything elae, but that is the thing it is only ok, the acting cant relay be rated with it all being CGI, but the voice acting was good, probably the second best thing about this movie, after the visuals. The movie looked amazing but there is way to meany shots what was not needed (60% of the movie) and what i just skipped. But the biggest down fall was the writing and how it just felt like it was going from one way to a complicity different way of being written, the writing was just bad and cringe, it felt like it was a kids fanfic or something a 13 year old would write for there essay. Relay it is one of the worsted writing movies i have watched with a Hollywood budget ($250.000.00), i found my self laughing when i was meant to feel sad for how stupid it was done, and i think i skipped about 60% of the movie but pressing the right key on my keyboard and still followed the movie perfectly because there is nothing actuality to follow for most of it. And I dont want to say any Spoilers ,(so can't relay tell you the plot in less than 50 words, what is all i need) It is just things happening for reasons what go no where? And that is all, it is just to look at and with watching this on a normal 4k TV in 4k, it just looked... ok not relay special at all, this movie could of been 30-40 minutes and it would have all the same feelings and understanding of the would and story! So i say just watch a recap of the movie on YT or read an online essay of what happens in this movie, it will be more fun than watching this for 3H!

They forgot to write a story. Yep,, that's it. They just forgot. No need to have a story. Is this review long enough now? Or do I keep going till the bots say, 'yep' that's long enough. Kinda like they though how short could we make the story to be a total non story...

The only reason I am watching this is because of the eye candy Henry Cavil.

Marvel proved again there capability with an interesting story

Great actors with sloppy direction and a pointless ending. I like historical fiction so this movie failed in delivering a coherent story ending. If you simply want to drool over the cast then well done. Glad i rented rather than spend theater prices on this mediocre film.

It's a very good show, with a very good timming and a very good development. The only thing I hate is "madam" or "maaam" o that "sorry" hahahaha

Well done writes and actors. Every single episode of this TV mini series was an 8. I felt it was very well written and I always love when a character developments into a better human being. This script in this movie felt authentic and Beth, Elizabeth someone even called her Lisa, her character had integrity which is always refreshing to see in a movie. There are just not enough movies that help us learn to become better human beings. I loved how smart she was and she even took care of her past traumas. This movie has a full spectrum of emotions and it had me crying at the end and they were happy tears.
8
This is never more than a 3 star - movie. I cannot understand how to see this as a good movie. The plot starts ok but never makes any sense. Then the movie is supposed to be about a caring mother which does not work at all. Blindfolded people running through the woods ??? hello? And the thing about the names of the children was the worst of all and the final turnpoint for this movie to be bad bad very bad. A great joke with 1-2 nice know actors (NOT SANDRA BULLOCK!!!)

It's OK. Wished it were darker and not so silly and dull.

This is an ideal show for those under 18. Its mediocre but it does have "pretty graphics and effects," which is about all one can say. Really not as well done as the Marvel movies and poorly put together. Juvenile and not worth a lot of time.

I have nothing better to do with my life than moan to complete strangers about how disappointed I am someone produced a series in a way which deviates from how I might have scripted and executed this reboot, if only I could get off my pathetic ass and do something/anything other than complain in a forum where absolutely no one but me will ever read my insightful criticism

Iron Man 3 is a below average Action movie designed for audience with low IQ's and Alzheimer's, or both. The dialogue is so bad that it will have you vomiting with embarrassment for the poor cast, especially Robert Downey Jr. I don't know when Hollywood action movies got this retarded exactly but, there's no going back now. This is Retarded! The movie has no real drama or excitement, because suddenly the hero has up to 20 Iron Man suits flying around, remotely controlled, ruining all logic and believability. Thus making this movie entirely dull. There's a scene where he meets a kid on the street, he's 11 or 12, he helps him out, suddenly two scenes later, the kid knows how to operate Hi-Tech machinery, laptops, coding etc, and remotely helps Tony Stark with his flying Iron Man suits. Ridiculous! Laughable crap. This movie may have been written by Homer Simpson. Seriously. If you want a decent action/Sci-fi movie go see Star Trek.

So many horror films go all out at the end -- breaking any sense of realism or plot to try to get one last big scare out of you... But throughout this whole film, Talk To Me stays grounded & continues with its super-strong edge-of-your-seat story. The way they use mobile phones also feels quite spot on -- The lighting from it is super-compelling too. I wish there was more of Hayley and Joss, they were a uniquely interesting duo. It might feel a little slow to get started for some, but it's a fresh breath of air amongst some pretty boring horror films as of late. Very well done, can't wait to see what the twins do next!

Lovely to look at but a film that plays like the first third of other films. Hardly anything concludes and it's just a big setup for the future films. Doomed to be hardly watched again.
6
I thought Mr Cavil was well cast here, very believable, very physical and this role demands that, in fact there should be more Gerald and less secondary charchter's. Yennifer was the weak point for me but I'm hoping the last 5 episodes things slowly improve. Good popcorn evening show. I'm sticking with it.
8
It feels like they wrote this show in about 1 hour. Events feel forced as do the relationships between characters. The storyline.... HIGHLY PREDICTABLE. I've seen this show before (at least 3 times in the last decade). I cannot understand how this show is so highly rated. Is it because there's a gaming community all hyped up about a screen adaptation ? Please, It's on the same level (or almost) - of great shows, fully developed, and masterfully written. I am giving it a 5 because the costumes, makeup, set design/déco is excellent. Otherwise, it would've been a 2 - The HBO intro is just amazing. A little bit of objectivity please.

This movie has such an important theme and had a huge impact on me. In this part of the world, religious intolerance is evident, especially with the minority I can from. America needs to KNOW that not all Muslims/Arabs are terrorist. You claim religious tolerance and indifference when in fact you are blinded by your own grief and misjudgment. Please let this movie change that, and become an eye-opener not only to cultural and religious tolerance in the US but all around the world, including in Egypt. The main idea is reiterated in the movie over and over again - there are only good people and bad people - there is no other difference. Brilliant movie!
10
This movie is the perfect choice for all who love anger - yelling - trouble - and chaos. I endured 40 minutes, at that point I punctured both of my eardrums just to be safe. Do NOT be sad for me.

I really wasn't sure what to expect, but thoroughly enjoyed this film. Some very strong performances and not just Ryan Gosling, despite what most reviews say, but of course any film with Helen Mirren, (even as 'only' narrator) has kudos to begin with. A fun film that makes you think as an adult, but that kids will also enjoy. I went with my 19 year old daughter and we laughed out loud and shed an unexpected tear. Music is upbeat, choreography is very slick, colours vibrant and the fulm is surprisingly well shot. Hats off to Mattel for taking the plunge and goning with it. Well worth any price of admission.

So why do I hate this film? Let me count the ways: 1- the most ridiculous love relationship I've seen: Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman - he is a big massive brute and she is an unconvincing Astrophysicist (or whatever) - it is more likely that Homer Simpson would be a scientist than this twit. She and Chris Hemsworth were ridiculous together 2- Anthony Hopkins!!! Please say it ain't so! The actor who is the brilliant Hannibal Lechter sporting an eye patch (how is it held on by the way - bubble gum?) and delivering scintillating lines like - to Thor (after he has impetuously and ill advisedly bulled his way thru every situation) - Hopkins: "You'll be a wise KIng!" Are you kidding? - have you been asleep? Are you on drugs? - a wise King? I laughed out loud. Anthony you should be ashamed - maybe you needed the money 3- Actually this is the one reason I liked the movie - Thor's brother Loki wears headgear that is a dead ringer for the big bunny in Donnie Darko. It is hilarious - now if they had only done it on purpose (I can only dream) check it out: google "Donnie Darko bunny mask" 4- Loki's laser sword - which shot bolts of something - but I have to remember this is fantasy & that kind of thing happens all the time (wonder if his lance is listed on the USML?) So what did I like? (after all I gave it a 2) 1- The giant destroyer sent to eliminate this unfortunate town and Thor - was pretty cool - not even a lance through the neck slowed him down 2- Heimdall is a cool guy, although not very good at his job - people are going thru the gate like terrorists through the metal detector in the opening of Airplane - and Heimdall barely has a clue - but he is cool So why did I even watch this? Our church has film clips right before the sermon - and Heimdall in Thor: The Dark World was on the clip. For those of you who have seen it, it is the scene where he senses the invisible ships getting past the gate & he leaps into the air to spear the invisible ship. (I know, you had to have seen it to appreciate it.) But it was pretty good - and made me think maybe I would like this series. And then I saw Thor 1. I can only hope that I will be a "wise King" and stay away from Thor 2. Pray for me. DonB

This film, from beginning to end, offers absolutely nothing to the viewer. To keep it short and sweet, this movie is utterly boring, magnificently slow-moving, and leaves the film goer waiting, for the entire extent of the movie no less, for something to happen. NOTHING HAPPENS! Dialogue is boring and has almost no meaning behind it. The film simply is a complete waste of money, whether the money be spent on renting it or going to see it at the theater. Assuming that the makers of this movie tried to accomplish what most film makers aspire to do, which is to entertain and captivate the audience, the viewer can realize that the makers of this film have done nothing but fail. This is byfar my least favorite movie, and by no means does this movie deserve to be on the top 250 list. Lost in Translation fails to accomplish anything, and simply leaves the audience yearning for more.

I suppose that because FORREST GUMP uses fantastic technology to trot out its one joke and gimmick again, it gave the illusion of somehow being original. The feather and the feather only is great in this movie; the rest is capable at best (Hanks' performance, some of the cinematography) and hackneyed at worst. This is the sort of movie, like THE SOUND OF MUSIC, which cues its sentiment so strongly it's insulting. It's interesting to take a movie like this and compare it with something like BIRDY (which has certain thematic similarities); BIRDY's premise is so much more far-fetched, and yet the movie has an authenticity GUMP can't manage. Almost everyone involved here has done better, if not stellar, work elsewhere.

I have to say I'm quite surprised that TDK has such a good rating here on IMDb. This movie is, without a shadow of doubt, the best superhero movie ever (at the moment), I don't think there's much discussion here, but let's face it, the standard superhero movie is a 2/10. I can understand why the masses like this movie so much, batman is a well known superhero, there's action, explosions, the plot is easy to follow, there's a love story, all the clichés. But that's exactly why the movie is just a cool summer movie, and not the best movie ever. The plot is minimalist and usually wanders off in useless sub-plots that bring nothing to the movie. Except from Ledger (that was outstanding), all the actors are mediocre to say the best. The lines they make these actors say are the final nail in the coffin, the dialogs sound fake and sometimes ridiculous, the pseudo philosophy someone tried to put in the movie is just sad to hear. In the end there's nothing I learned from watching this movie, there's nothing new in there. After all it's a decent movie to watch, but you cannot compare it to great classics, whoever thinks this is the best movie ever should really watch more cinema or maybe get a brain.

Hannibal, this show is perfect! The writing of this show just blows my mind every single character is unpredictable, the choices they make and the way this show unravels is flawless. Dr Hannibal Lecter is the kind of person you are supposed to hate but I find my self sympathising for him I feel sad when the things are not going well for him or when he is hurt and all the credit goes to the writers they did an amazing job of writing this character he truly was unpredictable, even by the end of season 3 I just couldn't figure out if I could trust him or not. Will Graham is also very well fleshed out as a character and throughout the run of this show, all I was wishing was that he doesn't die. These two characters are truly the way Dr Bedelia describes them "Can't live with him. Can't live without him." When these two characters are together it just makes you feel happy even though their friendship is toxic it just feels right every time they reunite. About the show now, It is a masterpiece. There is a lot of violence and gore throughout the show and its heart-wrenching. Throughout the three seasons of this show, I constantly found myself at the edge of the seat and just restless. There are a few episodes which are hard to watch the gravity of violence hits you. Season 1 is all of setting up the world and making us familiar to the characters and Season 2 is where the show is at its peak the incidents that happen in season 2 are incredible. Finally, the Season 3 of this show is very slow-paced it might get a little boring in the beginning but trust me as the story progress it gets exciting and the finale of this show is not disappointing you feel like you have had a journey and also a bit sad that the show is over. All in all, this is an excellent show the writing, action sequences everything is handled with a lot of attention to detail.

Having grown up 80 miles north of Fargo, I can say that the film Fargo contains many inside jokes that quietly (or not so quietly) remind one that she is watching a movie about that part of the country. And whatever people think of the acting, story, etc., Fargo does capture much of the anxiety that the great plains quietly thrusts on those who live there (you can see this in the way Jean chops veggies), often hidden behind a smile or seemingly polite word. One might note that this is a picture of mostly suburban Minnesota, around the twin cities, not rural. The film may have been better entitled "Edina" or "Maple Grove". Also, the accents, funny as they may be to most outside of the area, sound a little more like southwestern Wisconsin than North Dakota or Minnesota. Phrases such as "you're darn tootin" have never, to my knowledge, been knowingly been said by anyone in Minnesota. But aside from these minor quibbles, the Cohen bros do capture much of the darkness of a rather dark part of the world.

I recently finished the series Twisted Metal (2023) on Peacock. The storyline follows an orphaned driver in a post-apocalyptic society, delivering packages between cities to survive while facing various scavengers. When offered a chance to settle down in a favorite city, he takes on a challenging task with unexpected difficulties. The series was created by Alyssa Forleiter (Kobra Kai) and stars Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker), Stephanie Beatriz (In the Heights), Joel Seanoa (WWE), Thomas Haden Church (Spider-Man 3) and Neve Campbell (Scream). This series proves frustrating; Anthony Mackie's character and dialogue felt awkward and annoying, though his backstory was solid. Sweet Tooth's scenes were consistently amazing. The initial 5-7 episodes rate a C at best, but the last three episodes showcase stellar action and kill scenes, elevating the series. While the violence is occasionally gory, more road rage sequences were needed. Neve Campbell's underutilization is unfortunate, but the last two episodes shine. Despite its unevenness, I'll tune in for a second season. In conclusion, Twisted Metal is an uneven series with frustrating aspects, but it redeems itself with compelling action scenes. I would score it a 6/10 and recommend watching it once.

The series starts off well enough, the first couple of episodes are good. But then it slows down and becomes repetitive and boring. A very large part of the series is shot indoors, mostly in homes where people have not yet discovered the concept of electrical lighting. As a result, a lot of time is taken up by black screens on which you can barely make out any details. As if this was not enough, the camera guy seems to love blurry shots. You know how sometimes the photographer uses depth of field to creatively blur the background to bring the subject into focus? Well, that isn't an occasional trick here, that is pretty much the entire 8 episodes so far. Not only that, there are some scenes which are 100% blurred, nothing in focus at all. I did a double take the first time that happened, but after it happened half a dozen more times, I realized it wasn't a problem with my TV, this is deliberate. If you wear strong prescription glasses and take them off, that is what it looks like. Besides saving money on locations (for all I can tell, almost the entire series might have been shot in just the one house, it's so dark we can't really tell rooms apart. It also saves on the actors, because there's no point emoting with your face when all the audience will see is a dark featureless blob where your face is supposed to be. There are some very substantial changes from the Stephen King story. I don't think they improve the story, but I'm willing to go along with them. But I just can't get past constantly peering at a dim screen, usually with loud, "suspenseful" music playing in the background. Tricks like that might keep your attention for a few minutes, but not for several hours worth of episodes.

Every director of merit deserves one vanity picture. P. T. Anderson released the visually superb Licorice Pizza despite it having more to do with giving his army of production designers work than a story that needed to be told. Tarantino has nearly ten vanity pictures under his belt with scripts that are so in love with themselves Narcissus would be jealous. A chance to amuse Tarantino has never been missed by Tarantino. Van Gogh modeled for himself an extraordinary 35 times. Writers like Hesse, Kerouac, Sylvia Plath and Jack London all looked no further than the mirror for inspiration. So, an auteur's self portrait is historically justified. Furthermore, Spielberg is not blind to the trend of making a biopic for every pop culture icon in history of humanity so why should he allow another production crew first crack at his story in 30 years? While Tarantino thinks he is Dialogue's equivalent of Mozart and the removal of a single line of superfluous jive vernacular would cause his whole precious post modern universe to implode, Spielberg is far more humble and concise as he employed the brilliant Tony Kushner to cowrite and navigate a quirky, difficult, real life, coming of age reminiscence that includes mostly uncomfortable stretch marks few would want to expose to the world. (I credit Kushner for refusing to allow a Great White Shark reference to be made during the beach scene. Or I credit editor Michael Kahn for cutting it out ) Spielberg has put serving the audience at the top of his list of priorities long enough to allow one indulgence of his own origin story, audience be damned. There were only a few moments where I felt I was secretly reading someone's teenage diary and felt the urge to look away. The director mostly manages to avoid the pitfalls of these story lines that aim directly at awkwardness, isolation, equally isolated allies, cardboard villains, family dysfunction, implausible heroics, etc, by concentrating on the truly unique dynamics he experienced (the protagonist's sexual awakening is most unusual. No heroics are to be found in this film) and not just in the context of adolescence but in the context of filmmaking. What inspired Spielberg to want to make pictures? Well, if the movie Cinema Paradiso didn't answer that question well enough for you then The Fabelmans, a love letter to his own beginnings, should fill in the gaps.

Came up with alot of expectations but this season couldn't meet my expectations. Everything is in hurry. In a single episode they almost finished the plot scene. The pace should have been lowered. CGI isn't upto my expectations' they could have done alot to it. There is no character development .Horrible show. I think the game was way way better than the season as a whole
6
It was full of unfinished scenes. The end of the movie was not as we were expecting. 5 stars just for the acting.

I wonder why people need to realize things like this. I know it's fiction, alright? We all know it's fiction. But there are certain things which are not forgivable, make no sense (at least in the world in which I live) and are laughable, to be good. Take the first scene, with all that technobabble. It's tecnobabble to set the main characters' traits. It's wrong. Maybe the director assumed that most of the audience know nothing about QM but unluckly for him, someone actually DO KNOW something about QM and then it happens that the wole premise crumble like a castle of dry sand: you already know that what you are going to see it's a festival of absurdities. And as a matter of fact, few scenes later, the scene between that Sonoya Mizuno and her ex boyfrend confirm that those two but mostly him, live in a world that have nothing to do with reality. Don't want to spoil anything but I can guarantee you that your jaw will drop and not for the best reason. From there on, it is better to switch off the brain to avoid circumvolutions cramps and headaches, or better to change the show. And BTW, who the hell is that Mizuno? Is she even an actress or what? Please someone send her back to Actor Studio and keep her there to mop the floors rather than letting her think she is an actress. I have seen much more convincing and compelling high school plays.

What could had been a sweeping adventure like back to the future or zathura, is reduced to same thing happening over and over and over again for more than 2 hours. Its not as complex as it aims to be, neither its as engaging. To please the me-she-you audience, it throws some propaganda and lgbt gimmicks too, which adds nothing to the fray. Michelle Yeo and Ke Huay Quan are wasted. This is neither a time travel adventure, neither a time loop incident, and neither it is a miltiverse movie. Its too self-indulgent to be called any of these. Maybe someone from the team of jumanji or zathura or goosebumps or night at the museum should have handled this.

Looking knocked it out of the park. Not every episode was perfect, but they were all super enjoyable. Hidddlestone killed it as always managing to balance his character. Transforming his Loki from evil to a more sensitive character. Great story and effects cannot wait for the second season.

It was good to see Hugh in a movie besides Wolverine and I knew it would be a definite movie to watch because you could see all of the different emotions he was going to be going through throughout the movie and that's what made me really want to watch it and I'm glad I did. It was hard to see Keller beating on someone so relentlessly, some of the movie was a little slow but I thought it was still pretty good all in all. Most of the movie was easy to follow and I didn't figure most of it out until the end, I know I'm a little slow but the worst part of the movie was the ending.....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care if he would have ended in jail, I just wanted to see him rescued.

This is a very depressing show, there's nothing to draw you in and the characters are all so unlikeable - Mare included. After just watching the excellent Sopranos series for the first time, I thought I'd give more HBO shows a go. Mare is a pale comparison. I hope there are some other quality HBO shows worth watching, but this aint one. This is your typical lazy Hollywood crime plot, based on an endless stream of red herrings. Dysfunctional cop loses badge and gun, goes it alone to solve yet another serial offender, locking girls up in basements (yawn).

There's little doubt that "A Beautiful Mind" is an excellent film. There's also little doubt that it was buoyed from buzz to Oscar acclaim by hype, strategic PR, and a gullible public. Taken in and of itself the film is rather ordinary among excellent films and not worthy of much of the critical acclaim it garnered. I personally found much of the film uninteresting, tedious, and downright boring. After all, how does one relate to someone whose accomplishments are so abstract as to be buried in esoteric symbolism and someone whose illness is so intangible as to be a state of mind? The beauty of mathematics and the war with the demons of delusions were not brought sufficiently into focus by the film which spent too much time trying to develop a rather uninteresting character, making his delusions our delusions, spicing it up with a car chase and shootout, fleshing out the mental ghosts, and showing the principal's eccentricism with endless scribbling on window glass. Compensate for the hype, keep expectations low, and enjoy.

I loved watching the series, but until the last moment.. There is a scene in the series about the Turks committing genocide. Did you seriously make a scene like this without shame? Why don't you do proper research? Shout out to you, screenwriter... Build your history.

I must say when I first watched this film in the very first fight scenes, I was like "omg.. did they really do that...? it's that kind of Japanese movie?". Thanks got I continued watching it and it was totally worth it, once you get the point on the over-exaggerated "kung fu powers" and once you realize the movie is supposed to be like that, then everything goes great. I kept laughing the entire movie, it's story development is good too! full of surprises and it will surely attach you to your chair until the end of the movie. I give it a 10/10!

Feels good to watch dark comedy in bollywood. Movies like Ludo and Lootcase should be made more rather than mediocre comedies like Housefull where it feels like the movie is made for audience with 0 IQ. The theme of Ludo definitely feels inspired from Guy Ritchie movie style. Matches theme of Snitch and The Gentlemen.

Nothing in Amanda's acting gives Elizabeth Holmes vibes. Elizabeth Holmes is way more cold, cunning and intelligent. I would expect Rosamund Pike-type acting. She makes Elizabeth seem like an animation character - silly, messy, infantile. The editing is stupid. I am tired of self-assuring rap music and cliche scenes. Bad.

Horrible reboot or whatever you call it of the 2001 live action series (from the brilliant 90s animated show). I agree with the reviewer who said the show doesn't apparently know what kind it wants to be. Patrick Warburton, Putty from Seinfeld, understood the animated character. And physically his casting was inspired. This guy in the 2017, in the immortal words of The Tick: Nope!
