Seemed to have the potential of being a fun goof ball comedy, but to me, falls very short on delivering lots of good laughs, and it is so goofy that it is hard to appreciate the character relationships much.

(light spoilers for the prequel "Far From Home" ahead) After how its prequel ended, I expected this movie to be all about answers to the questions: 1.) How do you deal with being framed so publicly for a high profile crime that you didn't commit, both in public and in court? 2.) How do you deal with being the most famous person when you were living so comfortably as a nobody before, and how does it affect the superhero activities? 3,) What do you do with a huge inheritance when before you were constantly broke? (not a new question, but a new answer is needed, after the desater that happened in Far From Home) I was looking forward to creative, inspiring answers to all of these questions. Instead we get the smartest characters doing the most stupid things, just to create a new problem, and almost the entire runtime goes into dealing with that. Frustration over stupidity is something I expect in the real world, I really don't want it in my escapism action movie, that was big letdown. I guess the initial questions couldn't be answered in any interesting way.

Daniel Radcliffe is an actor who will forever be in my heart, so of course I watch a film if he is in it. Sadly in my opinion this film wasn't really all that great. I can see that it was trying to keep me on the edge of my seat a bunch but it just was too predictable for me, and the film didn't really grip me well. It was enjoyable to see but I wouldn't want to watch this film another time.

This movie is full of plot holes, especially on the second half. The supposed twist is full of stupidity and the ending can not be worst than that. Really dont understand how can this win the Oscar.

This anime wasn't perfect, but it sure was fun as heck. It's pacing was a bit clunky, but it was thrilling! The story of Jin Mori and his friends had a special aura to it and the fight scenes were just packed with so much love and passion. It's clear that the artists who devoted a lot of time into the show gave it their all. I really like this anime and I hope that a season 2 will come out!

I thought this movie couldn't possibly match the first one, particularly as I am a big Willem Dafoe fan (he played the Green Goblin in the 1st movie), but to my surprise it was even better! The special effects and the direction in this movie are superb. The story is most satisfying and at some points very moving. You really feel for Spidey. A wonderfully satisfying story, which touches the heart and amazes all senses. I really LOVED it and would recommend it to anyone. 10 out of 10 - Excellent!!

Well... It was pretty boring as horror movie it wasn't even scary, the visuals were not very good , we're in 21 century and special effects can't be so tragic... They had parents- two main characters of conjuring first and second parts and they didn't use them lol. Huge FLOP. Worst movie of series so far.

The movie is absolutely boring. I don't know how often I shook my head in disbelief. Sometimes the film even seemed unprofessional. The jokes weren't funny, the characters were not likeable. The only thing DC constantly manages to maintain in the superhero movies is to fail. Shazam is cool, this movie isn't!

Entertaining? Sure. Flash couldnt make it anymore awkward or annoying with his scenes. The character is awful (in this universe). No ill will toward the actor but yikes, he's intolerable. Always has been. This gripe is just me being an a-hole... really, Peter? You fought to save the world, were on other planets. Got dusted.. came back. Helped save the world again... Welp, better go back to school. Relied too much on nostalgia.

I could not understand a word anyone said. Kind of a drawback when watching a movie. Either lose the fake, thick South African accents or have the decency to give us a subtitled version. Which has happened in the past with Scottish accents.

A watchable docudrama, in the same vein of many other recent docudramas, that is held back by poor writing in every department. This film is a musical, but the poorest example of the genre I have ever seen. It has one decent song, at most. And it gets so bad at points that it literally just has the actors use singing voices to read normal conversations and has these masquerade as song. But what really ruined the experience for me was the completely lack of any historical accuracy and just incoherence and nonsensical plot.

My friends and I walked out on this movie near the end. The storyline about Dr. Strange was trivial; the storyline about Wanda was ruined by a lack of any true feeling (I mean, the attempt to make those kids seem loveable was, instead, laughable); the storyline about America (the character) was barely developed and got lost in the mess. (So much for trying to be diverse.) The use of special effects wasn't enjoyable (hey, look, another kaleidoscope!). Pitting the Wanda that lost her children against one that still had them would have been a compelling story about grief, regret, and love. Instead, we get "phone it in" cameos, cheap fan service, and lousy jokes with cliched dialogue. Somebody should be punished for making such drivel.

There are many highly positive reviews on this movie promoting it so I went in expecting something spectacular but after watching this movie I consider it over-hyped. Don't get me wrong, its a good movie and fun movie to watch, just over-hyped. What's refreshing about this movie is the artistic animation style which differs from traditional animation and the introduction to the new Miles Morales story line which also brings with it new supporting characters as well. The animation is creative, artistic and entertaining to watch, but the story line and character development in itself is still not as good as Pixar/Disney characters. It tries very hard to make up for it using animation FX and great action sequences, but I could not really emotionally relate to the characters like I could for Pixar/Disney. Having said this, thank goodness the most likable character is the main character of Miles Morales. The villains in this movie is not as well fleshed out as say in other live action TV series/movies where they are also featured especially the main villain whom is better featured in a currently running TV series. Overall-good entertainment.

People are losing the ability to create good movies and some viewers are losing or don't even have the discernment to comment about it. I like Sandra Bullock as a actress, but my review is based on the movie and its characters. The movie is good up to the 30 first minutes, then the story is pure stupidity and underestimates the intelligence of the people that is watching it. I thought Sandra Bullock got the prize after one of her first movies in witch she made a bus literally jump from the bridge, but this one wins. Being blind with two blind kids going down in a violent river and then running in the jungle is the best. Chuck Norris can not beat that!

There has been a number of attempts at Spider-Man on the large screen, but they have been a bit hit and miss. Glad to report that this movie certainly bucks that trend and is undoubtedly my favourite spider-man movie. This is an animated movie presented very much in line with the comic book origins. The best thing about the movie is that it has a heart. There are quite a lot of characters appearing, but you get an insight and understanding of all of them. You can understand the motivations behind the action which makes it much more of an enjoyable watch. This is certainly very watchable movie for an adult audience as well as the kids.

I think this is my first IMDb review. I felt that strongly about it. I had to give up after 30 minutes and watched the rest the next day. I've never not finished a movie and I came close with this one. You've been warned.

This is the worst of all Mission Impossible movies. Lacks story and script. Sure, the action is great; All stunts are very well done, but at the expense of the script. Someone said let's add "AI" and "crypto" to this movie, but it was badly written. And Tom Cruise's acting in this movie is also the worst among all his movies which I think is due to the poor script. And the idea of computers can track everything is also very far fetching. Tracking identify using face recognition is done in China only. Nowhere else in world will allow face recognition like shown in the movie. And the way "Entity" is added to the script is also cryptic; It seems like Entity is AI and presumably it will be revealed in part 2, but there's no suspense in the way Entity is woven into the script. Overall, this is the worst MI movie ever.

It's no Bourne series, but there's a enough story to keep you interested and some of the action sequences aren't bad.

Parasitic creatures are brought to earth to heal sickness. But how can you heal sickness with venom? Exactly, so a failed reporter ( Have a nice life) Eddie Brock is the perfect host body for the charismatic vicious venom. In short they become one as they take down capitalist driven business man who is also attached to these parasite creatures . Decent action, Sony, marvel film. Does a solid job with making us feel bad for Eddie Brock. The interactions between Eddie and Venom gives some chuckles. I would suggest you watch this before the new one just to get a foundation. Ending fight was mediocre 😁 Paradise ? Hmmmm we aren't there yet. Solid 5.

I'm really flabbergasted most going on about Russian accent. I have relatives from there and was surprised how well Jennifer actually did one. Jeremy Irons not so much as i realized it was him because his english accent came out. Movie had a cold feel but it was actually decent. Jennifer even looked Russian so I credit to that as well. Mathias is good in everything I've seen him in. He's Belgium but play Americans well and was very good in this. He's a very diverse actor. I guess I liked the film enough to come here and read what others thought and write a review. Out of the last 10 or so movies I watched I thought this was pretty decent .

I had this series rated 9 out of 10 after season 1 and 2. I loved those 2 season and binged all 13 episodes the day each came out. Of course NETFLIX takes FORRREEEEVVVEEERRRR to bring back the next season of their shows. Season 3 of this show was just so disgusting to me. It doesn't appear that a season 4 will happen with the way it ended but if NETFLIX sees how they totally botched what was one of the best docuseries since Making A Murderer, I can't see how they can recover from this. I'm not going to give spoilers because those of you who are reading these reviews, I'm thinking have seen 1 & 2 and just want to see what folks thought about 3 ORRR....you already have seen 3 and feel pretty much exactly what all others do about it...Horrible, made me sick to my stomach for so many reasons...I probably could give 13 reasons why to be honest. Orange is the New Black ended horribly to. I got so bored with Stranger Things as well that I can't even watch that one anymore. My point is this...NETFLIX puts out awesome shows. Some even have long lasting followers like myself, the thing is, RARELY can they close the deal in the end. They make us wait what 8-12 months between seasons of programs and all this hype and they just can't close. Oh and for ANYONE who is an OITNB fan, like I was (again, season finale was horrible). I would suggest Wentworth- THAT SHOW ROCKS! So much better that OITNB...Why? Cause like 13 Reasons they find ways to ruin it...I would be surprised if anyone gives it 5 or more stars...overall, 3 seasons total...I give it a 7 (6.5 really I guess) 9 for season 1 8.5 for season 2 3 for season 3 ( and that's ONLY because of Tony and Alex's father (the deputy cop) You can NOT watch it but sorry to say...horrible and that is soooo sad based on this type of subject matter AND what HS kids do face in life...like season 1 and 2...season 3...yeaaaaaa every episode was so far from reality

I love war movies and watched most of them. But this one movie made me write my first review. This movie is a piece of art, art as in something different but not a movie. It's not realistic, nor intelligent and without feelings, just a lot of slow and nice video clips. It could have been so much better. Since i love military movies I went to the cinemas for this one but left the saloon with what i thought was cancer.

In short, it is an outstanding movie. A very good start to 2007. Just saw this movie in the theatre and I seriously do feel this is one of the rare movies in which Abhishek has given a rock solid performance. Not only him but all the other actors are also very good. The story begins very slow but is very well dealt with to the 2nd half of the movie. Just kept everyone waiting for what will come up next. Story base is quite common of a small villager with big dreams gets a job in Istanbul. He does do it with full commitment and gets promoted but he refuses to continue with the job as he feels that he may open his own business. A bit obsessed with money and dreams of doing something big enters into a world of corruption and bribe. This movie potrayes how he deals with all of this to become the ultimate businessman. In my opinion, this movie should be given 8.5/10

A a stand off movie this one would have been a average one time watch with usual super hero stuff. But actually to conclude a franchise of this magnum, this is definitely not the way to do it. Maybe it because the crew and the directors got too much on their plate to handle. Unlike the previous MCU movies this movie took on a near to impossible task of connecting the dots from all the 22 movies and then bring it to a conclusion, which unfortunately just didn't happen. I would say personally as a fan this was a great disappointment as none of my favorite characters got enough screen time which they deserve and also it was like a dump yard all those who went missing being dumped in one place and suddenly they do their thing and its all done. Come on man its Tony and the send off is totally not worth it. Thor, maybe in the beginning I find it funny but once the story progress it just didn't go with the kinda of personality as we know. Capt. Marvel don't even know why she is in the movie first place, it would've made no difference even without her. The solution to bring ppl back it just happened over night and it was not convincing at all, except it involved Tony. Same goes with Hulk, happened just like that. it was just too much mess and they didn't do enough to clean it up. Two parts is seriously inadequate, could've been a trilogy....

This was perfectly cast. I mean Ryan Gosling as Ken (I just can not picture anyone else doing it that well). Margot Robbie is absolute perfection and Michael Cera's "Allan" is just hilarious. Not to mention the rest of the cast. It was surprisingly very touching, poignant, and extremely nostalgic. I mean they got everything perfect. Every touch of the playhouses, the outfits. I loved that the entire audience went dressed in pink. The little girl in me was *screaming*. Loved every single part of it. The Kens revolution and dance sequence are just so creative. I would watch this over and over. So thoughtful.

The Fabelmans - Review *** 3 Stars The Fabelmans is the new Steven Spielberg Film. I will keep my review short and to the point To me the film divides into two parts Part 1 the family in the east coast 1955 to 1961 Part 2 The California chapter 1962- 1966 The first part is a snooze-I found myself checking my cell phone and wishing I was on the street eating a Falafel The second part is way better with riveting tensions and dramas planting the seed of the tree that will dominate the movie landscape the genius we know as Steven Spielberg- Colorful, dramatic albeit the antisimitic sentiments expressed toward him by his college mates was way over the top and resembles more 1935 Germany than 1964 California. (Calling him Bagelman etc and harming him physically) that really did not happen in the sunshine state at that era as far as I experienced. Now my personal feeling acting wise no one shines, Personally Michelle Williams who plays the mother is an actress I always hated, an ugly duckling with 1966 Guiding Light acting style and the charm of a schnitzel (She once played M Monroe in a bio epic a casting decisionI I find criminal) and she is hard to watch especially here. The boy who played S Spielberg was OK, Daddy was good as well All and all rent it and it will not be a huge regret if you do not like I am not surprised this souglee failed to rise and tanked at the box office.

Sandra Bullock plays Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first mission in space. She's working alongside veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), a confident type not prone to panicking. But a routine task goes extremely awry when wreckage from an exploded Russian satellite destroys their shuttle and strands Ryan & Matt in outer space. He manages to tether the two of them together, while they try to make it to the International Space Station, which is not that far away. Directed, co-produced, co-edited, and co-written (with his son Jonas) by accomplished filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron, this becomes both an impressive visual achievement and a poignant journey for its main character. While I did have some issues with the script, Cuaron makes this an interesting journey to take, complete with incredible production design (by Andy Nicholson), cinematography (by Emmanuel Lubezki), and visual effects. Cuaron is able to do an immersive approximation of what it's really like to be floating in the bleak vastness of space (even when there are always landmarks in sight). Mostly, this is worth watching for Bullock. While Clooney is engaging, it's interesting that his character is prone to telling stories, when this is really HER story. Bullock, required to do some very physical and emotional things, struggles mightily to keep calm under this unimaginable pressure. She's touched when given reminders of life back on Earth - the sounds of dogs barking and a baby crying. She's also a *relatable* and *believable* individual; somewhat in over her head, she's got her work cut out for her avoiding panicky behavior. A few years in the making, this won *many* awards, including Oscars for Cuaron, co-editor Mark Sanger, Lubezki, composer Steven Price (whose score is truly striking), and for the sound mixing, sound editing, and visual effects. It's definitely a memorable experience. Ed Harris (who, of course, had previously done "Apollo 13") is the voice of Mission Control. Seven out of 10.

A computer-animated remake of Disney's traditionally animated 1994 film of the same name. The plot follows Simba, a young lion who must embrace his role as the rightful king of his native land following the murder of his father, Mufasa, at the hands of his uncle, Scar. So...I took a few days to compose my thoughts after this one. I already knew going in that this film would be a tricky one to watch for me. I hold the original animated film at such high acclaim, it's one of my favorite animated films of all time. As a child and as an adult "The Lion King" had a huge impact of me, so obviously this remake was never going to live up to that. Jon Favreau had an impossible task to do and I can't even imagine the immense pressure he was probably under. But with all that said, I'm still going to post my honest thoughts about the film unfiltered. The first thing I need to say is I do not hate live-action films. The live action "Beauty and the Beast" was fine and I didn't have many problems with it. It added new story elements which is the point of a remake. Though granted most of the other live-action films Disney has come out with recently I haven't enjoyed. "Aladdin" this year was not very good, but there were parts that I thought were enjoyable enough. That could be because again, I don't have that strong emotional attachment to "Aladdin" like I do with "The Lion King". Without tiptoeing around it, this film made me upset. Like many I've known have said, its creation is so pointless other than for nostalgia inducing money. If those reading this felt differently I'm glad you found enjoyment out of it, but I don't understand! Do the visuals look very realistic and state of the art technology? Yes, but nothing about this movie is "live-action". Seeing these realistic looking animals open their mouths and talk was just so surreal. It looked so laughable! You're taking literally all of the visually interesting traits from every character and dulling it down. Scar's black mane and Mufasa's red mane are bright contrasting colors for a reason! I couldn't tell the difference between any of the lions in this film. There's zero distinguishing traits. All the bright fun colors of the original film are gone and replaced with fifty shades of tan. This is why animation was created and some mediums should just not be adapted into live-action, especially when an all animal cast is concerned. There's also no emotional expressions to be seen because again, the animals look realistic. Any of the key emotional gripping points of the original film are recreated here, but it's apparent when "the scene" happens and I felt absolutely nothing that facial expression in character is so important. That scene in the animated film resonated with so many people, but this recreation didn't do that. So there isn't much that is added to the overall plot of the film, little things here of there. But what is added adds nothing. There's also many things taken out of the film, "Be Prepared" no longer exists within full song in this animal planet universe were seeing. This is probably because Chiwetel Ejiofor could never replicate the sassy legend that is Jeremy Irons as Scar, but this is just a theory. Rafiki is also gone as we know him, which saddens me deeply. They just stripped so much of the humor that it's kind of depressing at points when I remember that the animated film exists still and I'm not watching that. I can't comment on the soundtrack because it's just the original soundtrack repurposed for this movie. So that credit goes to the Elton John, Tim Rice and composer Hans Zimmer. I can however comment on the voice acting in this film. So Donald Glover was fine, I didn't have any issue with his voice as Simba. Beyonce as Nala was literally just Beyonce in my head, especially during her continuous riffing during songs. Girl we know you can sing, but it's a lot. Timon and Pumbaa can never be replaced, so Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen never stood a chance. John Oliver as Zazu was especially bad though, what even was that? All the replacements obviously pale in comparison to the original cast, but I can't necessarily flaunt them for that. Last thing..."Can you feel the love tonight?" was played in broad daylight. That's such a simple detail that bothered me so much amongst the rest that bothered me. Again, many will probably disagree with me on this film but that doesn't change my immense disappointment with it. It makes me worry for the many live-action remakes in the works currently, however all of those at least have humans to work with. I'll eventually forget about this film and just continue loving the animated masterpiece that is so dear to me.

This movie shot right to the top of my favorites of all time, at first I where a little uncertain about if I would enjoy a Korean movie, but it put all my expectations to shame and I where captivated through the entire movie. The next day I had to call my close friend and get her over to watch it too. I've since seen it numerous time, both alone and with friends and I have yet to find a person who did not enjoy it as much as me. I only wish I could have never seen it and experience watching it for the first time again. I really can't recommend this movie highly enough and in my opinion it truly belongs on the IMDb top 250 list.

The Crimes of Grindelwald has its moments of wonder and delight, but gets bogged down in its efforts to build out the Fantastic Beasts franchise.

I have to admit I don't understand the appeal of Wes Anderson's films. It's not just that I don't like them very much - I'm not a great fan of superhero movies either, but I can comprehend the sensibility that they appeal to. But Anderson's movies, so widely feted, leave be not only cold, but mystified. 'The Grand Budapest Hotel', for example, conjures up beautifully a comically rendered vision of Mitteleuropean splendour fading into Nazism and communism in a way that should appeal to me. But in that world, Anderson tells a one-note story devoid of any human depth. To contrast, consider a movie like 'Delicatessan', for example, which is also set in a tragi-comic alternative world; but which tells a story full of very real emotion. To me, the richness of that movie's reality is light years away from the complete shallowness of Anderson's work. As I said, it's as if there's something that's sailing completely over my head; either that, or there's an audience completely unconcerned by the absence of substance. But I'm not part of it.

Complete waste of time. It's the same experience I had for Kaal. Total loss.

This movie destroyed the beauty in the original story.. Watching it was a waste of time literally..

I'm very disappointed about this new version of Adams family. First of all you see the other components of the family Just in few episodes and it would be better not to see them at all... All the spirit of original Adams series was completely lost, they act like a common mundane family, backing each other up and being there for each other... really creepy. If you see high votes about this serie probably it comes from who didn't really see the original series or movies. Even even Wednesday sometimes appears upset when she seems to hurt others with her detached and antisocial behavior... but come on! Everything else looks like the dark-like version, but not so much, of Hogwarts. The settings are also not as gloomy as one would expect from Tim Burton, I think he has definitely lost his magic touch.

This series is awesome. This same as narcos, steve murphy - sartaj singh , pablo escobar-ganesh gaitonde , columbia -mumbai city. This series takes Indian cinema to a very darker tone.

I´ve just seen the first episode, and it was absolutely amazing. The cast is fantastic including Jessica Barden (Alyssa) and Alex Lawther (James). If you´re bored right now, i suggest that you watch this show asap - it´s totally worth it. Judging by only the first episode, i can already see that this show is outstanding. I´ll say it again: Absolutely amazing.

Somewhere along the way, the makers of SPIDER-MAN 2 couldn't decide whether they were making an all-out action flick or a soft-core soap opera with the accent on Spidey's melancholy love affair with Mary Jane. The balance between action, humor and love story has been so skewered by what seems like the intrusion of action scenes that this one doesn't work as well as the first. Apparently, the makers wanted to humanize Tobey's character as much as possible. None of the fault lies in the performances. Tobey Maguire is genuinely effective in making us see Spider-Man's humanity. In fact, he's so good that if this guy ever gets a really deep character role to play, he's going to win some big prizes (aside from financial ones). He's a very sensitive actor, as revealed in THE CIDER HOUSE RULES. Kirsten Dunst does her usual nice job as Mary Jane but there's a little too much of her long pauses between dialog to gaze intimately at Spidey. James Franco is fine as Harry Osborn who may in time become Spider-Man's next opponent if the ending of this one gives us a clue. But acting honors this time really go to Rosemary Harris, so warm and human as Aunt May, and J.K. Simmons as the harried headline-chasing editor of New York's most tabloid newspaper. Cliff Robertson does nicely as Uncle Ben Parker. Naturally, all of the special effects are mind boggling and the villain of the piece (Doc Ock) with his octopus-like mechanical arms is given plenty of action once his character is established. But personally, I preferred William Dafoe's villainy much more than Albert Molina's attempt to be Doc Ock. Not liking the villain of the piece is enough to make me give the first Spidey film a higher rating. Elfman's musical score is excellent. Most impressive stunt in the whole film is the way Spidey stops a runaway train from a disastrous fate.

I love a good fantasy action movie/series and The Witcher definitely falls in that category. It took a bit before I figured out that the scenes with Cirila were happening in the "present" and the scenes with Geralt were from the "past." Though, when I finally grasped that concept, I was able to thoroughly enjoy the wonderfully complex plot that's woven across multiple kingdoms and many characters' journeys.

Ludo is comparable with Super Deluxe. Both are anthalogies. One from the north and the other from the south. One's pure trash and other's gold heap but the trash gets praised, the heap remains unnoticed. In the confusion of story telling, it seems like the director wrote the screenplay on the way to the shooting spot. Therefore, all the actors are confused in the film. You can take screenshots of various characters in the film and zoom in their eyes, visible confusion. Diversity? One Malayalam speaking character doesn't make the whole film diverse. One coloured cast would've made that. With all these white washed men and women, the director depicts white supremacy through this nonsense drama. There's so much wrong with this series. It's hypocritical, has no proper characterisation like the character pinky - the most unstable character I've ever seen. Her story was prolonged with nil logic to give an already predictable ending. Being an emotional fool, she calls 'that dancer' guy that. Whatever his name might be, his character was also irritating. The so called 'desi' patriots may shower the film with zillion stars but your real patriotism shows up when you not only support your own cinema but also the other cinematic industries and languages in your country. Duck off now.

All people want is to escape the reality of what has been mandated of them. And this movie coming in almost 3 years after the start of all this madness reminding us of the separation is just pandering. It didn't land they way they wanted it to. And let's not forget Daniel Craig's southern accent...it should have been stopped before Kevin Costner's accent debacle of Robin Hood way back when. Had to stop watching the movie and do something more productive, have a bath and read a book. Do better, Hollywood, you're losing audiences left and right. All that's made today is "made for tv" which used to be an insult. Now it's the norm.

Idk, i thought this movie is good bcs the rating is high for horror movie. But after i watched, i got nothing want to say. Just the same as other mediocre horror movies. Teenagers did something stupid, got terror from demon, some characters dies, and just like that. And how they using make up for the demons is kinda basic i guess. They can make more disturbing make up for the demons, maybe i can add more high rating for this movie. I think they just wanna to save budget. And last, this movie never makes where this game appeared for the first time and how that can makes the devil summoned.....

Nice movies Chief and Producer Emilio Ferrari's past credits incorporate Baby on Board with Heather Graham, Lucky Town with Kirsten Dunst, White-Out, and "Ensnarement."

"The Fabelmans" is truly a love letter to film and about finding life's passions. The movie takes real moments from Spielberg's adolescence and pieces them together. It is fascinating to see the beginnings of the man who brought films such as "Jurassic Park" and "Indiana Jones" to life. Though it took a minute for me to become invested in the characters, once the pacing hit its stride, I was hooked. The film tackles difficult topics, such as racism and infidelity, without forcing an agenda. There is a truth to "The Fabelmans" that was uniquely charming. Spielberg is not afraid of silence, and some of the most memorable scenes are from those quiet moments. Rather than relying on words, facial expressions perfectly conveyed the message he wanted to tell. When the film started, I was concerned about the acting and the script. Some of the performances were stiff and felt pretentious, at least at first. It was evident that the pressure of portraying Spielberg's family was daunting for some of the actors. After about 20 minutes, the acting seemed more natural, and I was able to see the passion behind each performance. As the film is based on Steven Spielberg's childhood/youth, there were a lot of small stories over the 2 hour 30-minute runtime. At times, these individual scenes felt disconnected from the ultimate narrative. Similarly, some of the editing was choppy and out of place. Ultimately, the story came together, but there were some unnecessary stops along the way. If you love films, you will find joy in "The Fabelmans". After finishing the movie, I felt inspired in a unique way. It is evident that Steven Spielberg put his heart into this project and that he tapped into deep, personal roots. As the Academy Awards approach, this film is a lock to win one, if not more of their seven nominations.

Can I get my eyesight back? I don't care about fancy cinematography or being tricksey as Gollum would say This was tortuous viewing- if Renner had watched it with me, I'd still feel the same way Cue the ominous music- what the audience doesn't know disarming bombs is dangerous work? Cue the scene of male camaraderie- forced as it was (only Renner took his shirt off- what the other guys couldn't?) Cue the obligatory scene of the guys rationalizing why they are doing this The 3 principals were typical screenplay 101- the arrogant prick, the guy who fellows rules regardless, the milquetoast fellow who broods over death. Guess which one Renner was? The film was loud, unnecessarily so. If a bomb disposal expert(removing his protective gear) is going to Jesus as Sgt. James states, shouldn't he have sustained at minimum first degree burns on his uncovered hands? Like Crowe in A Good Year, Renner doesn't play cute and cuddly well. For all the laudatory praise heaped on this film, it was still a film about war , no more or less. There was nothing new added to the canon of war films or war themed cinema. For myself give me Das Boot, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima and Stop Loss- with these, the fellows who fought weren't anybody special. They were caught up doing this, whether they wanted to or not. And sometimes there is no answer for the why of war- it just is. It was hard to be sympathetic since these bomb disposal guys volunteered. Yet there was a moment near the end upon his return home, when Renner's Sargent James is at the supermarket- lost in the cereal aisle. And he says nothing and in that stilled nothingness, he was on his way to where he was. It is so very hard to do this and he does this so very well. Just as in Avengers, Legacy and MI4, it's him. For in that briefest of seconds, he elevated Locker and gave an understanding as to why.

This movie didn't make much sense to me at all. It was just long overdone fight scenes. The only thing I liked was the final scene and seeing the girl ballerinas. Overall a subpar movie that is kind of entertaining.

I feel, Michael Bay's come a long way; I think, he's capable of even more fast action sequences; I know, he can't deal with continuity; I don't care if there is no creativity; .....yeah.

Such a boring Movie Saw this because I came to know this has IMDb highest rating Can't guarantee if it releases in 2020 instead of 1994, if it would still be rated so high.

The movie builds up to a great climax, but leaves you with nothing in the end. Everything about the film seems great until it suddenly ends with no resolution or conclusion. I agree with most other reviewers in that the movie is well put together, great acting, etc. It has all the elements of a great movie, but the ending is so incredibly lame and disappointing that it completely destroys the film. Daniel Day Lewis is at his best, but the movie drags on and on with the sense that something is building. The viewer is given the impression that something big is going to occur as one bad, sort of karmic deed leads to another and another, etc. Yet in the end, the viewer is left dumbfounded and downright alienated by the utter disastrous and rather stupid ending of the film.

I enjoyed the first movie, though i felt the whole social messaging angle it took at times was definitely the weakest element of the film. In this movie, we get basically nothing but social messaging and very little murder mystery. It is kind of annoying to watch something which is attempting to critique the dumbest elements of our culture, but yet at the same time seems to be absolutely fascinated and narcassitically in love these same things (keep in mind, I would say that this movie itself and its overall message seems to be made by the exact type of social "disruptors" that the movie claims to critique). As for the film itself, there's some pretty strange pacing choices. Right in the middle of the film they decide to basically just drop the mystery then go on a 45 minute explanation to the backstory of the mystery. Then there's a lame solution to the mystery and then we end with a pretty darn overt hammerfisted suggestion that society needs to burn, literally. Just 'cause. I would take that message a little more seriously if the film wasn't made by the exact same type of jackasses who actually do buy 5 million dollar personalized sports cars and customized island mansions, which, once again, the film claims to despise. Other than that, the story is kind of convoluted, lots of things don't really make sense on rewatching, and the biggest disappointment is Daniel Craig actually doesn't do all that good of an acting job, despite being amazing in the last film.

If you are reading this then you may have seen an assortment of good and bad reviews. I truly am confused by the negative reviews. It's narrative structure is initially difficult to follow. It's the first film adaptation to attempt to tell a story like an open world video game would, through side quests within a greater arc. This is different than a typical narrative structure and if you lack the patience to put multiple converging pathways together, this isn't for you. The Witcher demands your attention in order to understand it, but that's what makes it rewarding. It makes you think. It also gives you a nice assortment of legitimate bad moments and nice healthy dose of justified nudity to satisfy your monkey mind as well. Henry Cavill wields a sword like a legitimate bad man, he not only looks the part, but he moves like a martial artist. The action sequences are thoughtfully executed and not the grandiose over-the-top smokey nonsense like the last season of GOT. Cavill also really did his best to nail Geralt's mannerisms and the show thoughtfully recreates the iconic scenes from the games. My only gripe is that sometimes I find that it occasionally becomes a bit like a campy made for TV version of itself: it can occasionally come off corny which doesn't cohere with it's complex narrative structure. By the way, The Witcher predates GOT, so calling it a knock off doesn't really make sense. No one considered GOT a knock off of LOTR, it's just another fantasy story. Don't listen to the reviews that are generated by people who haven't actually watched the show; Jesus Christ when a film critic can't be bothered to sit on them and watch a TV show before formulating an opinion, we really have entered a new era of entitled laziness.

Never has a character ruined a series so abruptly since Jamal from On My Block. Ani single handedly ruined the series. Season 1 was spectacular but after that it was just unwatchable.

Silly and fun! Fans of the first should be pleased. Still super ridiculous but in all the right ways! Make sure to stay for the post credit scene! Mind blown!

Peter Parker is trying to deal with his personal life, and all of a sudden starts to question his role as Spider-Man. Soon his personal life begins to fall apart. The situation only starts to get worse when his powers begins to give out, and a mad scientist Dr. Octopus(Alfred Molina) terrorizes the whole city. The first movie brought so much to the table now having established the characters and the tone. Spider-Man 2 to me is the best in the trilogy. It builds on Peters character as a whole with a personal journey while still having most of the charm. The characters are just more fleshed out and developed. Having their own obstacles to over come. One of the reasons why Spider-Man is so loved by so many is because in many ways peters the most relatable superheroes ever. He's not a CEO or a big shot lawyer or neurosurgeon or a literal king. He just ordinary guy trying to make a way. This film shows many of those aspects of his life. Failing to hold down a job, his relationship troubles with M. J, Aunt Mays financial crisis and just maintaining his personal life. All at the same time still trying to do what he does a Spider-Man. Tobey does a great job and showing Peter is struggle and is he even capable of still being Spider-Man? Does he want to be Spider-Man what does he want is the overall question. You feel sympathy for Peter as constantly throughout this film he's just kicked down. Every chance he tries to get back up from his situation with Mary Jane who decides she's going to marry someone else. To his friendship with Harry practically jeopardized because of Harry's hatred towards Spider-Man thinking him responsible for his father's death. So he just grows this bitterness towards Peter. Peter doesn't get a break in this. Doctor octopus arguably the best villain from Rami trilogy and probably all the Spider-Man films. He written like a scientist he's calm and calculating. He's a villian you feel more sympathy for given want happen, as well Peter spends time with him before the accident. He's not played more over the top to the point its comedic like Dafoes goblin. The hospital scene is like something out of a horror movie. Imagine it with blood all over the place. He's far more serious in many ways a bigger threat to Peter. The fight scenes between the two are some of the best. No point does peter really have the upper hand mostly he's just thrown around like a ragdoll. Even though this movie has less action and drama. The fights still manages to stick out and leave your remembering them like the train. The visuals are way more stunning in the first film some of the CG was far more dated it stood out looking back at it. The second film actually managed to perfect that given it had a larger budget to work with Spider-Man swinging around and climbing on walls it doesn't look as fake. It's more fluent in organic as he moves from building and swing. The only Cg used that does stand out was on Dr. Octopus for the tentacles sometimes having an CG body but it's not as bad. The uses of practical is always appreciated many parts of the film whenever it's not having to be fully Up eyes. The tentacles behind Doc ock are actually real when he's not all over. While the films is more serious then the last it still manages to be funny Some of the best favorite moments involved JK Simmons as Jonah Jamison hands-down the best character portrayed in any movies. It amazing how accurate this character is to the comic. Everything he say is quotable.

I must be, like, getting old and jaded or something. I found the movie predictable and more straightforward than I hoped it would be. A good alternative name for the film would have been "Wait, what?" as if there was any less action you'd be constantly asking yourself why the eff they didn't do X, or why Y didn't happen etc. The word "contrived" will keep nudging at your brain if you're not doing an exceptional job of suspending all disbelief along with all common sense. The final scene of the film was rather obvious from early on I thought. I found it relatively easy to follow, exactly what I was expecting, and totally lacking in interesting "Sixth Sense" plot twists. Everything pretty much was as it was presented to be. Not sure how this makes it to #3 on the all-time best list. The Matrix was way more entertaining... G.

So far the show is pretty dang good all things considered I am excited to see where the show goes I think it's gonna be pretty bad ass. Daemon by far is the best character in the show. It's been a very good build and I have been very entertained by it. So glad GOT is back. Dragons are great first two episodes and I am pumped for more. I really hope that the writers of this show learned their lesson from the ending of Game of Thrones that last episode in that last season was pretty dang disappointing. I'm glad I didn't stick through it over the last 10 years and binge wash at the last year but that was pretty disappointing as far as the ending goes. How can you do that to John snow? How can you screw over Denares like that?

Disclaimer: I'm writing this as a McDonagh fan, and yes, I'm mad the Academy chose THIS over 3BoEM. While I can't deny the movie's stylish looks and outstanding cinematography, it fails on every other front with its one-dimensional characters, implausible storyline and heavily-pushed "white males are evil" agenda. Aside from that, we learn that the Amazon is salty all of a sudden; "Ze Russians" speak gibberish which both me and my wife, being native speakers, needed some subtitles for; and laundry vans can breach security of top-secret government facilities during the Cold War. Did you really have to regurgitate (also known as "steal") an old Soviet movie so you get one more stage to push the omnipresent liberal agenda? How this one got an Oscar is beyond me.

This is the most over-rated movie on Amazon, that I have seen. There may be others more deserving of that title but, if there is, I haven't seen both the film and the Amazon rating. This poor excuse for a film was made only because the director is the daughter of one of the Hollywood elite. She grew up as a rich brat and this film presents the world view of that worthless class. The story is drivel. I can get into a good love story, or lightweight romance like this, but this one repelled me. I can only suspect that the viewers who rated it highly have psyches so controlled by the fairy tales they were poisoned by as children that they have no grasp of reality. Other one-star reviews explain the lousy-ness of the story fully so I will not repeat them. The acting is mediocre. Scarlett Johansson has a very limited range as a performer, which could have worked if the role called for looking cute and not saying too much. This roll calls for a sophisticated, well educated, but shallow young woman. Johansson is perfect for the shalllowness, but fails the other two requirements. When I saw her similarly sub-standard acting in Girl With a Pearl Earring, I thought there might be a decent actor inside waiting to get out. Maybe I suspected wrong. Bill Murray also has a limited range but that is all that was needed for his part. That could have redeemed the movie somewhat but the character is so thoroughly vacuous that he has nothing of value to offer other characters in the film or to the viewers. The theme of inter-generational romance has been explored in many other films but seldom so badly.

I'm not the biggest Tarantino fan, but I would consider myself a fan. I was excited about this movie, but waited for the digital release because I didn't think I could handle the long run time. I'm glad I waited. Unfortunately, this film suffers the same issues as many of his other films, but worse. Tarantino writes fantastic scenes. That can be said for nearly every one of his films. But putting them together in a film that tells an interesting story is where he drops the ball. This film has many interesting standalone scenes, but once I finally made it through the full move after 3 days, I was left with a sense of "What did I just watch?" I'll admit I'm too young to care about the setting of this film. If you aren't a huge film buff or emotionally connected to Hollywood in the 1960's, you probably won't care either. I think the success of this film relies heavily on that and the name Tarantino. Essentially, it's 2 and a half hours of Leonardo crying, Brad Pitt acting cool, Margot Robbie going to the movies, and feet. Lots and lots of feet. Watch at your own risk.

I get that with the passing of time in shows it can be difficult to "age" the actors/actresses. But with technological capabilities today it cannot POSSIBLY be that hard to make someone look older. I got invested in the initial characters for the first 5 episodes and in episode 6 was like WTF. Expecting it to be some odd dream or nightmare before realizing this was the dumbest possible way to age a cast. BIG MISTAKE. Took this show from legit to lame in a split second. Not only are they different actors for key/main characters they honestly don't even get close to being "look alikes"! If you're going to have someone step in as an older version of a main character than at least do them the courtesy of finding a real world "twin".

First season, I don't think anyone (outside of fans of the comic) had any idea who The Boys were or what they were about. I like to watch movies/ tv with as little background knowledge as possible, so I can appreciate the shocks and plot twists as intended. And Season 1 was full of twists I've not seen in a long time. This was like Heroes (2006-2010), but for a more mature audience. Not afraid to offend, with oft-colourful c-bombs dropped by Butcher and Co on a regular basis, to the extent where we (the audience) are totally de-sensitised to what should be offensive language. Perhaps used more sparingly, they would no doubt have more the desired reaction. Anyway, solid start. 8/10. Second season. Oh dear. TV shows (particularly superhero ones) tend to struggle in season 2 - a case of "Second-Season-Itis". It feels like it's being spread out thin. But unlike how the writers' strike affected season 2 of aforementioned Heroes back in 07-08, there's little excuse for poor writing now. I can only presume producers are running out of source material, or trying to stretch the show for another 2 or 3 seasons. The content in the first 7 episodes could have been packed into 4, but for show pacing. The non-stop action from season one has been replaced with talking - lots and lots of talking - and it's getting kinda boring. There are still occasional shocks and twists, in fact some are bigger than Season one. But they are too few and far between. To compare, in season one, each chapter felt like they were getting to a point; progress was made in the plot. If you missed an episode, you would maybe struggle to catch up as there's quite a lot packed into each one. Season Two just feels like I'm watching the same episode, just tweaking the formula over and over. Butcher is the same potty-mouthed-tough guy in nearly every scene. There's little character development. MM, Frenchie, even Hughie - who you saw evolve from a softy pushover to being one of The Boys - could be analysed from any episode and you would not think anything major had happened. On the positives, it's good to see some storylines for the other members of the Seven. It was starting to feel like the Homelander Show. Perhaps that's the point? Meh. Anyway I give season two a 6.5/10, saved by some great action scenes and some great acting from the new cast members. There's a great quote from season two, it was something like 'Remember what made you a superhero! Go back to basics!' The Boys need to remember this. Overall I give it 7.5/10.

I saw this for free on DVD while it was still in the theaters, as there is no way I would have spent a dime on a film like this. I did spend, however, almost two hours of my life remembering why I don't go into the theaters anymore. Since other negative reviewers have adequately covered what is wrong with this movie in detail, I'll just sum it up to say it is what would have been an average film or made for TV movie back in the days when they knew how to make movies properly. It is a mediocre sleeper flick, hyped up due to the fact that, compared to the other garbage movies that come out these days, it's a masterpiece. No one acts like a normal person, nothing realistic about anyone or anything in this "drama" and since when can cops just walk in and beat up people and suffer no repercussions? Oh, that's right, it's the Midwest! That stuff goes on all the time out there! And what's up with the billboards being so close together? Where in the world do you find billboards like that? Maybe people drove real slow on that road. If it didn't drag on so long, I might give it a five because it is, indeed, watchable, but it's a lame movie and totally overhyped. People giving more than five stars need to dig back into the archives--Hollywood actually knew how to make movies once and back in the day this would have been a forgettable time-waster on HBO after getting briefly shown in a handful of theaters.

The 3 stars are due to a star each for Rajkumar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi and the concept. The director had a good story but took too much time..With many unneeded scenes and pacing. A good screenplay and some sensible dialogues would have made it better. There were many weak links in the direction and unnecessary dialogues which had absolutely no use but to mock. Expected a lot better from Anurag Basu.

OK, I was forced to go see this with my daughter. This was an extremely awful movie. I don't even know where to begin. The first sentence I heard had at least 10 cuss words in it and it never stopped during the entire movie. From screaming and shouting lines, to endless cursing, it never, ever stopped. If there was a cuss word dictionary,they used every word from it making this trashy movie. I can't believethese actors agreed to film this. It shows where the viewer's mindsare. There was nothing funny at all about the movie. It disgusted mefrom start to finish. I believe if they took out the bad language and smutty graphics (many, many pictures of the penis), there may have been a half way decent story behind this. I just couldn't get over the gross language. So if you rush home every day to watch Jerry Springer, you will love this movie. For those of us who are disgusted by this language, save your money and see something else. I was extremely angry at my daughter for her taking me to see that trash. I want the 2 hours of my life back that I wasted in the theater. Zero stars

I am immensely proud to have this movie come out on my birthday. I actually went to see it that day. It looked really amusing. A stupid humored movie with a dry twist. It was. Superbad was probably the best new movie I have seen in a very long time. Sure, there's been some movies worth watching in the last few years, but this leaves them standing in the dust. It's raunchiness, teenage romance, and it's fall-on-your-ass humor had me laughing for days. It will be known as a all-time classic in the future. I can see kids in ten years talking with each other saying "that's like what happened in Superbad!" I recommend you don't drink any beverages during this movie, because you'll be spitting most of it out within the first ten minutes. It doesn't try to be more than it is, and I think that's what makes it so great. I don't recommend taking the kids out to see this movie, but it's pretty much a movie anyone can enjoy.

The movie is essentially an overstated and overcomplicated series of emotional gradations that castrate and mystify what the reality of the movie is: a cheesy, unoriginal and unilateral (the admiration of Gatsby by Carraway never seems to be reciprocated by Gatby ) "friendship" that could have been wrapped up in an hour. The extra 1h 20 mins is dedicated towards the enchanted extravagant lifestyle of Gatsby and the perks of being ultra-rich in New York during that time (or any other time for that matter). I guess the movie is best suited for a certain segment of viewer-ship- Kids and their discernible craving for enchantment.

See, his videos used to be humourous and entertaining from the day he started. But I can understand why this series lack that level of fun. I barely have laughed while watching this. And this is IMDb you don't just be bias to a person and rate it that high. Imagine if this was made by a bollywood actor accused of nepotism. Would it be that high? Acting - 10/10 Story - 10/2 Comedy - 10/4.

Dreadful to watch the main character disintegrate. sandler plays a loathsome person with no redeeming qualities. none. felt like punishment to watch. wanted to walk out, wished I had. unrelentingly grim. awful.

Russell has done a good job of presenting a world well, with all its intricacies. And for the first time that I've seen him, he might have found a way to direct John David Washington successfully, to convince us that he can actually act. Generally speaking, he is truly deadpan and un-emotive, to the point of pure boredom and somehow, he is closer to an actual actor in this than I've ever seen. Meanwhile Christian Bale is channeling his innerPeter Falk in Columbo. Robert Deniro is wonderful, as usual, and Margot Robbie is brilliant as usual, and Zoe Saldana's calm performance evens out Bale's Columbo-ness. Even Chris Rock is not annoying, so I applaud the Director. The uneven pacing makes it odd and strange and somewhat hard to follow, while it is busy being atmospheric. That's a little difficult to deal with. It is never so slow that it annoys you enough to stop watching, but it is irregular. The production designer is great, as is the cinematographer. It is well with seeing, and enjoyable.

Scorsese knows his art, that's for sure, but maybe he shouldn't do any mafia films anymore. I mean, the Irishman had nothing original. Through-out the film it constantly reminded me of other mafia movies again and again. I wasn't surprised by anything and to be honest I stopped it half-way, because I was bored. I mean, I already knew its characters from other mafia movies, and I already knew what would happen next. Skip it if you have already watched many mafia films.

Awesome movie very tense at times I actually thought I was there with them. A few odd things happened in the movie that was questionable. However I enjoyed the movie.

Hopefully this is not the future of netflix movies. Weak story weak acting and weak finish. In general it seems that netflix is heading to a movie factory that produces low quality stuff.

Good start to the story and character. Some good parallels to Venom which could make for a humorous duo in the future. Looking forward to seeing more of this show.

People really thought the film should win an Oscar or even be nominated? Mann this film was mediocre if anything. It was cool seeing KG act but thats really it

It's not as terrible as other reviewers are painting it out to be. Nor is it that good of a movie. It makes a HELL of a lot more sense than "Atomic Blonde" and it has a great set up. Then it drags out. Other than that, Joel Edgerton just isn't convincing as a C .I.A. agent who falls for a Russian spy. Is J-Law's Russian accent the reason for the vitriol? I get that. Is it because we're constantly reminded what an attractive woman she is, though her frosty cold exterior says otherwise? I'll drink to that. In the end, it just doesn't add up to the feeling I think they want us to feel. A better movie that treads over similar territory is "The Sum of All Fears" or "Salt" in terms of spy games. This feels like they were attempting to cram too much into a single movie and doing it without that much conviction. One has to wonder what Lawrence has done to turn the country against her.

Some one has to be highly creative to come up with names like, Griffindoor. Globovitch and other similar concoctions. Hats off to Mz Rowling for crafting such characters and places. No doubt the director, Yates has done a brilliant job in illustrating the grown up Harry Potter. New jokes, New situations they get caught up in.. THe movie is a visual treat..shot in the potter movie camera style, the lord of the rings kinds..it transposes you to a new world..the full 2 nd a half hours or so u experience -mmmmmm- feeling ..the one that can be associated with something dark....yet appealing and not scary .. AN out and out fantasy, it deserves credit for all the accolades....

I feel oppressed because this series has been boring so far and the actors are pretty ugly which makes it even more draining to watch. You have to give a little and take a little. If you're going to be boring, at least be attractive, but if you're ugly then at least be intelligent.

It's a pretty good song performed by the king of heavy metal, Iron Maiden. The song could be useful to describe the situation and the feelings of the people after watching the movie who like Sci-Fi as a root of all dreams. This is totally wasting of our great love of believing in Nolan's ability to let the audience to feel discovering something new. Combining Hollywood's clichés with our holy space-time love has just intrigued me. I've been totally disappointed yet hope that this would lead some brave and passionate directors to jump into space in their future movies.

Now this is something hits unexpectedly. Johnny Gaddar quite thoughtfully titled like 70's hard-boiled thriller spins a devious plot and pulls off a fantastic thriller. This is one of those relentless movies just refuses to slow down. Having said that is a complement in itself. Bollywood always has flavor for romance and comedy but thriller is still not first class citizen here. In old days B R Chopra gave us real good mysteries and thrillers, in our time Abbas-Mastaan used to deliver but they have lost their way terribly these days. Writer-Director Raghvan's last venture was brilliant Ek Haseena Thi with Saif's snaky performance- his best till date. With Johnny Gaddar he exercised in the same genre and maturating it more and more. He penned a clever on-the-edge thriller and then got in director's chair doing a through job. Plot is a classic crime setup. Five regular partners going for a deal splitting profit five ways as usual. It is fine until one of guys (of course Apana hero Neil) wants all and elope with his mistress(Rimi Sen). But of course plan will not be executed without flaws and none of the member of the crew is a rookie or push-over. Then onwards film is a gripping tale with twists and turns. It pays-off and it is also not timid to avoid contemporary cliché conclusion. Film doesn't have A-list stars to draw attention but has actors doing their job nifty making this kind delight. Star of the show is Neil Mukesh. This is a very bold, confident feature debut for the talented actor, certainly Lambi Race Ka Ghoda for the industry. Film offers some real good scenes. I really liked the scene when a cop sitting beside the rat in the gang suggests changing the topic and talk about his favorite actor extracting a virtual confession out. And there is another scene shows glimpse of gray in human carnival when one character held on gun-point and asked about how others solve the mystery earlier and met their demise. He bleeding, about to die, smiles wicked; refuses to answer saying that will puzzle and torment him rest of the life. Film got a vintage treatment and several references are made to some classics. One of things I admired most here, hero is not sly or wicked but the script is. There seems so many innocent thread suspended loosely initially to pay attention but double backs in as crucial smart clues later. Altogether film is a darn dandy pleasure. Full entertainment all over. Strong Thumps up JohnnyO!!

I love you Wanda. I understand your sacrifices. But.. why.. I want answers! I want to know more.

This is such a slow progressing storyline! The whole story can honestly be done in 5 episodes. It is a murder mystery but all the cops in the shows are as useless as they come, especially the main character Ralph. They are clueless and the acting is insufferable. Once you figure out what's going on, the story becomes very predictable. Honestly, the best episode would be the first one. The climax is in episode 9-10, and even then, it's moving so slow!! I had to stop and come back to this show 4 different times. There is absolutely 0 character development, all the actors are 1 dimensional. Don't waste your time. Just read the storyline online.

Alpha tells the story of how an unlikely relationship between a wolf and a human boy changed mankind forever. A boy named Keda is separated from his tribe after a failed incident which nearly lead to his death. While trying to find his way back, he is attacked by a group of wolves. As one of them is left behind, he decides to take care of it as they bond and attempt to make their way to his tribe while in a blizzard. Now I was pretty interested in this movie since I am a dog person and have 2 of them. Seeing that the previews stated that this was about how dogs became man's best friend, I was intrigued. As for my main negative, I found the plot very barebone. Plot wise, it's a pretty generic survival story without a whole lot added onto it, aside from the first 30 minutes. The first 30 minutes of the plot mainly look into Keda's life, tribe and their goals. To me, that's the main highlight of the plot. The story on the other hand is a different (heh) story. In execution, it is a character driven story which focuses on the survival and bond of Keda, the main character and the wolf. In general, I found it very heartfelt. Neither of them promise to leave each other's side. I found their connection really believable by the last 10 minutes, which almost had me a little misty-eyed. The characters are, for the most part, very well-crafted. We have his wolf companion who is fierce and longs for the return to its pack, but then begins to see things differently. And we have Keda, who is a resourceful and smart young man who has some weaknesses that he believes that he needs to overcome. One of which is one that bothers me since it is a bit cliched; it's that he has a hard time killing animals. Aside from that, I really like these characters. I also like how there was no English dialogue. The movie's dialogue is entirely told through a native language, which is translated with English subtitles. Even if the movie's plot is very lacking, I still enjoyed this film for its characters and the stakes that both of them go through by the end. 7/10

Marvel can´t do anything wrong in this world, you are entertained from beginning to the end, and it is as good as the first one. I love Hardy in this movie and venom is a great venom to watch. Watch it.

Ryan Reynolds can carry this movie for sure. But please make us better story bring us more emotional. A lot of things don't need in this movie Do you want to see jumping shoe or chasing by 5 star police? Do you want to see Antwan keep restarting server or get in to this game to control himself? Things just add up with no support to story at all. For example when director want lightsaber it just happened to be there no story. He need level up here we go. Why don't you buit up something for results that audiences waiting for? Like this light saber is the hidden legendary item no one could have it something meaningful. No Nothing we can looking forward to see. Do we exciting to see that hidden island? They try so hard to make you feel that island is important but No! It actually pretty boring what in real life cheering for npc to get to island you don't even know what's going on. If you want to copy Trueman to put in GTA game you must learn the good thing like how to get audience emotional through story through the level through the items he get. Something we looking forward to see in the end like Trueman show. When Guy know that he is npc, it's not built up emotional, it just happened because Millie tell him. Every thing that moving plot have no build up emotion or story or what so ever. We only enjoy through jokes that ryan reynolds speak. Imagine Guy is the one who seeking for clue keep level up from time to time not just 1mins from 1-100 with no meaningful, Trueman getting more clue like level up and in the end he could find himself. But in the end of this movie what will Guy do now? Because all that matters to him from the beginning is Millie and you end it up just like "DO WHAT EVER WE WANT!" But does he have anything he want now? And what benefits for Millie and Keys? No player in this new game now so no money. Do they need to mantain this server forever for npc? Please please please don't you just make a movie because you need to but wants audiences to enjoy all the story through the end that how the film work.

Barbie 2023 had the potential to be an empowering film, but it ultimately fell short of its promise. While the actors' performances were commendable, the overall message conveyed by the movie was misleading. Instead of celebrating feminine power, it seemed to portray a narrative of feminine revenge and hostility towards men. This approach left little room for nuanced exploration of gender dynamics and empowerment. One of the major shortcomings of the film was its portrayal of male characters. They were depicted as one-dimensional and often treated poorly, almost like brainless toys. This portrayal not only perpetuated stereotypes but also missed an opportunity for a more balanced and thoughtful exploration of gender relationships. Furthermore, the movie's attempts at humor often fell flat. There were very few scenes that genuinely elicited laughter from the audience, leaving the overall tone of the film feeling somewhat dry and uninspired. The most disappointing aspect of Barbie 2023 was its failure to depict women in a more genuine and multifaceted light. Instead, it seemed to promote a stereotypical ideal of perfect, fake, and emotionless women. This portrayal missed the opportunity to showcase the complexities, strengths, and vulnerabilities that real women possess. In conclusion, while Barbie 2023 had the potential to be an adventurous and funny film that celebrated feminine power, it ultimately missed the mark. Its portrayal of gender dynamics and humor left much to be desired, and it seemed to promote a stereotypical image of women that does not reflect the diversity and depth of real women's experiences.

The movie starts well and then we see a lot of badly edited shots put together by a purely written screenplay to introduce the characters. Then we see some random events taking place while trying to maintain a link of the characters to the main story line and then we hit the 90 minute mark where the film runs out of screenplay. The director then weaves a loose concoction if another 75 minutes, half of which is filled with songs which sound like they've been a part of numerous other movies. At the end of it all, I realise I've wasted almost 3 hours on a weekday and that I cannot give below 1 star. The extra star is for Rajkumar Rao and Fatima, coz that is the only segment that was interesting.

I saw it just a couple of days ago and fell off my chair in laughter. This is a hilarious spoof on OBL, the US agencies, the comic stereotypes, and what have you. If you follow a bit of Punjabi, it is even funnier. Whoever conceptualised this plot is a genius. The dialogues, the repartee, the acting from all, the settings, it is all so funny. It is good to see such a wonderful if low budget film with relatively unknown actors. TBL truly deserved to be a super bumper hit. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a good laugh. Don't miss it.

A movie with enough action to keep you watching, but at times so corny you have to roll your eyes. I didn't hate myself for watching it, but I didn't leave the theatre longing for more.

One of the greatest titles ever made in history. the plot is amazing and the characters are perfectly chosen. the over all sequel is great.

If there was ever a film that I wanted so badly to see, and wanted so badly to walk away from within thirty minutes of watching, but tried to stick it out to the end with the expectation that it had to get better, only to be disappointed, it was this film. Obviously, the main cast of the film was terrific and the directing of the film was incredible. Certainly, the acting was pretty good and the storyline was promising. These qualities gave this film the potential to be one of the greatest of all time, and yet it wasn't. The film's comedic relief was on the most immature level that it continuously conflicted with the more stable and rational parts of the film. This made such an intelligent concept seem at times down right stupid, and I don't' like stupid films.

Not for me, the movie would have been great without all the comedy. Trying to be a comedy while fighting Hela just didn't work for me. I prefer my superheroes to act like superheroes, not a bunch of goofballs. Leave the comedy to Deadpool...

I'm not sure how to rate this. It was very good and ridiculously interesting, but I feel it was lacking something. Maybe it was better...but this doesn't take anything away from how amazingly beautiful this show has been! I'm sad to see it end.

I'm not an art critic. When I watch a movie I just want to be entertained. It's very simple for me. So, maybe this is some great artistic work, but I don't know anything about that. In my opinion, everything about this movie was great except for the story. It was scattered, random, and just went nowhere.

After amazing first season I was waiting for this show to go on. And when we finally got the second season - instead of "wow effect" it had "ew effect". First of all boring slow going script. Almost no real action... just "gum chewing" and drama. Second of all - you guys should really reconsider your makeup artists! That amount of fake blood I've only seen in 1970s B-movies, seriously! Made me laugh a lot (Dracula Castle lol). And I'm not even talking about toilet fight scene. Next - irritating bad acting of the blond girl. Absolute nonsense of the script whatsoever. Who? When? Why? Crazy bad religious guys. Really? As a result - a lot of whining and poker faces. Do not watch the second season!!
