I was excited to see this and wanted to like it so badly...As it was I cringed my way through it and couldn't wait for it to end. Utter drivel and hopefully forgettable. Must be a marmite movie...

OK, watched Harry Potter's Deathly Hallows Part 1 last night. All I can say is, someone forgot to pay the light bill, it was a very dark movie. We missed almost half of it due to the darkness. You can see some movement, but you sure can't tell what is going on. We thought it must have been filmed in a cave.The parts we did see were good. Good acting as always, but it looked like Ron Weasley was working with 2 black eyes most of time. I don't understand why anyone would want to film a movie this way. It was almost like they were ashamed of the film, so darken it. We have purchased every Harry Potter movie and were extremely disappointed in this one. Hope Part II you will be able to see the whole movie, not just part of it.

This movie is a constant stream of annoying squabbles, strange background score, disgusting characters and the F word. It started interesting but kept on getting more and more annoying. At the end of it, just felt like yelling "what the f do I care??".

I couldn't see the anger in venom. Venom is shown as a fun hero but i like special effects mostly.

Academy Award winner for Best Picture begins at Princeton, 1947, where mathematician John Nash (played by Russell Crowe) is flailing away at an economics theory while all his male classmates just want to get laid (the film equates the average Princeton male to the type of guys usually found on TV's "Happy Days"). Five years later, Nash is working with the Pentagon on numerical formation patterns and appears to be pulled into a conspiracy plot to thwart the Russians from detonating their H-Bomb on American soil. It isn't surprising that "A Beautiful Mind" won the Oscar; it has been designed specifically for prestige (i.e., awards). However, it's a sentimental, dramatic package which gives its time-worn movie theme--mental illness--a few new twists courtesy screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, adapting Sylvia Nasar's biography of John Forbes Nash Jr. (the Academy normally frowns upon edgy concepts, yet this one has an old-fashioned set-up, which they welcome, plus a lead performance preconceived to be a triumph). After a rocky first hour, the picture does improve. Howard methodically sets up the plot mechanisms, but gives us a fascinating main character who is disconnected, a failure at social interaction, and a really bad first date. Nash's future-wife (Jennifer Connelly) isn't particularly intriguing or enchanting (she has dim thoughts, such as "God must be a painter, why else would there be so many colors?"). Still, by the second act, Nash's personal crisis has become more clear to us, more involving and gripping, and Crowe isn't so much deliberately one-note as he is intensely focused (the actorly tics come later...and, when they do, they are almost endearing). The film has that slick look of "grand entertainment" that makes critics bow their heads, yet there are indeed miraculous moments: Nash neglecting to take his medicine and discovering an entire covert operation going down in his backyard shed; Nash, recuperating, riding his bicycle in an infinity pattern, scribbling numbers in the air with his finger. The mental institution stuff is the cinematic equivalent of treading water (and wastes Christopher Plummer as a doctor), but the last half of the film is quite good: a brilliant but disturbed professor working his damnedest to overcome his demons, helped along by a loving woman and receiving the kind of respect he never dreamed of. Howard isn't always graceful or sensitive (especially in the electric shock sequence), but he does resurrect a tired genre and ultimately makes it a moving experience. *** from ****

No plot, no actors, moderate visuals. Give me my money back.

It's a fantastic film my best and favourite MCU ever

...it has been ruined by intersectional feminism. The show runner is far more interested in her Uber Feminist messsging than she is in entertaining the audience. This show could have been huge. If nothing changes with the current writers, it will die on the vine. What a waste.

With many fine actors, a remarkable subject matter and the number of accolades it received, '12 Years a Slave' was watched by me with high expectations.
For me, '12 Years a Slave' is not quite as good as the hype and isn't one of my favourite Best Picture winners. It could have been truly extraordinary, but it wasn't quite despite having individual elements that were that adjective. Can see though why it has been so well received, while also seeing where those who didn't like it are coming from in their reservations (though not sharing the vitriolic way they've been expressed by some). It may not be perfect, but from personal opinion, and quite a big number of others, it was tremendously powerful and very brave,
'12 Years A Slave' may have some one-sided and conveniently black and white characterisation. It may not say anything new about the subject.
Some of the cast, like Paul Giamatti and Benedict Cumberbatch (though they are excellent still), are underused. And Brad Pitt and his dialogue did feel out of place and the dialogue additionally coming over as heavy-handed.
On the other hand, to tell the story from the viewpoint of the enslaved was a brave decision in an industry where few films have done it, and it comes over very well on the whole. The treatment of the slaves is not for the faint-hearted, they are shockingly harrowing and not comfortable to watch but they don't feel that gratuitous. There are some emotionally devastating moments, such as the ending and the long shot of Northup singing.
Steve McQueen was the right director for the film, a film that needed to be told in a brutal and honest way and being a director with that directing style McQueen brings that out perfectly in a bravura directing job. '12 Years a Slave' is very impressive visually and technically, and Hans Zimmer's score is suitably stirring.
John Ridley's script adapts Northup's memoir with tautness, honesty and sincerity, not subtly mind you but it's not a subtle subject. It only falters with Pitt's dialogue.
The acting is superb, with Chiwetel Ejiofor's powerfully restrained and sincere performance wholly deserving of its acclaim. Lupita N'Yong'o, very moving, and Michael Fassbender, at his most frightening, are more than up to his level, as are Sarah Paulson and Paul Dano.
Overall, extraordinary it isn't but an emotionally impactful film it certainly is. 8/10 Bethany Cox

I just couldn't believe what I was watching it was so awful. It's as if they hadn't realised that comic book films have advanced so much over the past 20 years and assumed quality didn't matter.

This movie does not deserve the high reviews despite the fact that it is reasonably entertaining. Problems are:
1. This is suppose to be a serious crime movie not crime-comedy. While is not exactly a comedy, it grossly overdo the supposed to be but not so funny script and action. "OH YEAH" is funny when the sheriff interviewing the pay girls but not funny beyond that point.
2. Movie is full of scenes which are not contributing to the resolve of the movie in any way. Reminds me of Antonioni's Blow-up! Not that gross but still too much irrelevant scenes.
3. Opening credit indicates that the movie is based on true story... a big lie.
Overall not a bad movie but nothing special, just another movie, that's it!

"Murder Mystery" is an enjoyable, funny lark: an Agatha Christie- style whodunnit mystery spoof that surprises for being a well-made film. There's action here along with the comedy. Surprisingly good production value with a nice size budget, and able direction- a car chase at the end wouldn't have been out of place in a Fast and Furious film. Several times I unexpectedly ha'd out loud- some nice one-liners and running gags that play to the strengths of the leads. Speaking of: Sandler and Aniston groove well together and give the film a consistent backbone: you like them together and want to keep watching. You will recognize the supporting characters, who play amiably against type, really selling the silly, over-the-top nature of the film in a way that doesn't feel forced. Overall, very engaging- a screwball comedy hitting the strike zone of exactly what it is.

So these were some of my favorite books, the way she blended history with fiction was done beautifully but I feel like this show just completely missed the mark. I know, I shouldn't be surprised since most adaptations just fall flat but I always hope that this time they'll get it right. They did not. The casting is wrong, why did they frump Palmer down so much? Is it just me or is her voice deeper than usual? I don't find any of the vampires attractive, especially Matthew. And the woman who plays Ysabou is beautiful but her character should be much younger. Okay, so you can't make all of the fans of the book happy with the casting cause even though they have physical descriptions, everyone still has their own idea in their head. So if it were just that I'd be like okay I'm just being petty but the characters are also lacking chemistry between each other and not just Matthew and Diana but everyone. It almost feels like they're over acting to make up for it. Maybe the actors just didn't understand the characters they were playing? Structurally wise they seem to move too fast and yet so slow at the same time. They'll be moving slow giving good details and then all of a sudden they just spit out info or jump through too many things. An easy example would be Matthew and Diana's relationship, they meet and then boom they're all of a sudden together. Like, no, it would've been nice to really see the progression. The books had so much tension and playfulness between them and I did not get that from the show. I get you have to change things a little when doing an adaptation but it's just seriously lacking in so many ways. Lastly, this isn't a huge issue but what's up with the music in the credits? It's so out of place. The show is so mellow with instrumental playing through the episodes and then the credits hit and it's just completely unrelated music and usually way too upbeat, haha just found that so odd and slightly annoying. The best thing about this show is by far the cinematography, the sets and the costumes. I will say it is very visually appealing which is why I continued to watch. All in all this was super disappointing but I loved the books so I watched it anyways. I guess that's all that really matters to the creators though..we watched it.

The movie was okay, it's a fun watch and it was interesting to see new characters. In my opion it was not as good as the first movie, with a twist about the bad guy that wasn't really as unexpected as with the first movie. There was one twist though that i didn't see coming which made it very interesting.
Daniel's fake accent is still terrible, so that hasn't changed.
Janele monet was great and i loved her performance. The other actors are fun but in this movie the characters were annoying to the point it was hard to watch.
Maybe the plot at the end was a way of standing up against power, but to me it was just another example of how shallow the characters are and will just go with the person who can save their reputation.

Vasant Bala.. Remember the name. WoW.. What a stunning movie he have made. Firstly, Let me clear you it's not a masterpiece kind of stuff yet you are gonna love it especially if you are a lover of Dark Comedy genre. The cast of the movie was extremely well, the references of old 70s 80s songs were perfectly planted here. The Monica O My Darling theme song was playing throughout the movie and the remix was extremely fine to listen and enjoy as well.
The acting performances of all the characters were extremely fine and the director of this movie nailed his work with this brilliant cast. This is what an OTT movie all about. With a strict budget and less promotion they just delivered a gem to us. Absolutely loved it. The Story was little bit predictable till interval but it will twist like our messy hair and played with our detective minds and smartly defeated our intelligence for sure. It's the writer who have played so brilliantly with our minds like this.
After-all it's Netflix ; there is one brief moaning scene at the initial phase of the film and of course the subject of the movie is quite bold so better to avoid it with family and go for it if you are 15+ at least. There will be 7 Out of 10 Stars from my side for it.. A must One time watch movie for sure..

This "who-dunnit" is probably one of the worst I've seen. However I had a few laughs and didn't find myself checking the time at all. This has early netflix movie written all over it yet it came it in 2019.

This is one of the most spectacular movie as I have ever seen my entire life.. Hats off to the makers of 777 Charlie for bringing out such an incredible & unique movie.
A Must watch movie with family and friends.

I think if you're a fan of the books, or even the video games you will love this series. Henry Cavill captures the gruff, dangerous, almost elegant violence of Geralt with ease. It's clear he's played the games as his voice is almost spot on.
The time and effort put into developing Yennefer and Ciri makes the show vastly more interesting, and not a one horse (sorry Roach) show. If Episode 2 doesn't pull at your heart strings, or wrench your stomach, perhaps you're not human.
While not a "Game of Thrones level show" (let's be honest GoT dropped rapidly towards the end) for fans of high fantasy, the original books, and the video games, this is a no brainer. The world is stunning, visually enticing. The costumes, the accents, the names, its a truly engrossing world, with exceptional acting ability across the board.
For casual fans? Maybe not, but maybe a second viewing will tick some of those boxes, and have you singing "Toss a coin to your witcher" for hours.

The only way to appreciate this poor screenplay and tasteless story is to be subjugated by the fantastic universe and all but new monsters clearly inspired by any already told tales. Boring and expensive production.

I loved a show but i wish it was a little bit shorter and faster because i was bored at the end i just wannted to be over

I've read the books and have been waiting for this series for quite some time. While I do wish they were able to give it maybe 3-4 more episodes to really build the relationship between Matthew & Diana, I still love it and can't wait for the next season (mostly because I know what's coming up next). I binged it all in one day! I could have probably been happy with a different Diana, but I'm also not disappointed either. Matthew is perfect, but then again I'm partial to Matthew Goode, so I might be biased.

I cant remember what the story was about to be honest. Pretty good action but doesnt grip you with plot

I've never been a huge fan of the teen comedy genre, primarily because they are all essentially the same. Bunch of hopeless losers get together and have a wild, crazy adventure in search of sex, drugs and/or drink. "Superbad" sticks rigidly to this formula so in essence, this is no different to "American Pie", "Porkys", "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" or any other teen flick you could mention. But seeing as it features Hollywood's form actor - Seth Rogen - not only on screen but also on the screenplay, I figured that maybe this might have something to it. And to be fair, there are some laughs to be had and the unfamiliar cast certainly do themselves a power of good but personally, this isn't my cup of tea.
Best friends Seth (Johan Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) have been inseparable throughout high school and are preparing to spend their last few weeks together before separating for college. But after a chance invitation to a party, Seth hatches a plan for them to provide the party with enough booze in order for them to get it on with two girls (Martha MacIsaac & Emma Stone). Roping in fellow geek Foggell (newcomer Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and his fake ID, their plan quickly unravels after two inept cops (Rogen & Bill Hader), a homeless drunk and Foggell's bizarre new identity (McLovin) threaten to scupper their plans. Can they get hold of the booze? Can they get to the party and pop their cherry? And when will Hollywood change the record?
It's unfair to judge "Superbad" on sticking so close to the teen comedy stereotype because that's what it is - a teen comedy. So it's packed to the rafters with all the crude language, sex jokes and two dimensional eye candy in miniskirts you'll ever need. What "Superbad" has in reserve is what separates it from the seemingly never-ending supply of teen flicks spewing from Hollywood. First, it has a killer cast. They isn't a weak link in the chain anywhere, although all three leads are shown up by Rogen and Hader who are simply brilliant as the completely hopeless cops. There is also a surprisingly epic feel to the thing, like a juvenile "Lord Of The Rings" as their supposedly simply quest gets ever more convoluted and impossible. But there is also a sting in the tail, an ending that was not only heartfelt but plausible too.
So while it doesn't bring anything new to the party, "Superbad" is still welcome all the same. It wasn't the laughter-fest I was expecting but like I said, I'm not a fan of this type of film. If you enjoyed "American Pie" or any of its witless sequels then I suspect you'll get more out of this than I did. I just wish that something would come along and not rely on massive amounts of swearing and revolve around a bunch of losers trying to get laid - is that really too much to ask? Maybe "Pineapple Express" might appeal to me more but I'm not in any great rush to see that either. All I can say is give "Superbad" a chance but only if this sort of malarkey appeals to your teenage sense of humour.

The movies has got some strong performances by a star studded cast and impressive special effects but fails to live up to its prequel. The plot of the film is a bit uneven and it does not seamlessly blend to make it a gripping entertainer. Robert Downey Jr is excellent as ever but did not have many wise-cracks in his dialogue delivery as in the prequel. Also some of the sequences around Robery getting drunk in the iron man suit and him sitting in the middle of the large do-nut seemed a bit un-necessary. I loved Micky Rourke in his role but Don Cheadle does not come anywhere close to Terrence Howard in his role. Insptie of some of the flaws in the storyline of the film the movie will not at all bore anyone and is a fast paced, action packed and a highly watchable comic-hero popcorn flick.

I didn't laugh once and the film didn't hold my attention. I was surprised given the people involved. Can't put my finger on why, just didn't find it compelling in any way.

With twist and turns The Umbrella Academy is a journey of excitement, family, love, superpowers and so much more. Also it has an amazing production! In my opinion it is a MUST to watch this show.

The film is at it's best when it's showcasing Steven, sorry, I mean Sammy's love for filmmaking. I wish it focused more on that. Instead we get a bunch of subplots that add nothing to the overall theme of the movie. Was it really necessary to see yet another cliched high school story with the bullies straight out of an anti-bullying campaign video? Or the crazy uncle who showed up for a few scenes, spewed the old inspirational 'Follow your dreams' speech, and then goes away, never to be mentioned again? The whole movie feels very unfocused because of this. Jumping from one story to another with no real connection. There are some really good moments in the film. Unfortunately, you have to sit through some long, drawn out, unnecessary and boring scenes to get to them.

Poor storyline, character too obvious and brash. There is no nuance, is you good or bad, nerd or jock, loyal or definent, soft spoken or loud... Characters aren't supposed to be so binary.

I LOVED this movie. It was so cutely written. The fortune's of a man who decided to take all the steps he needed to not only run, but to run for the one he loves. Forest Gump isn't just a POV of the 'simple minded' on heir views of love, but it's also the triumph you feel for him. Despite everything, home really was were the heart is. This movie will cause you to open your heart and your mind, following Gump on his journey of determination to prove he could be a real man for Jenny. He didn't stay down when he was bullied and he didn't, as most humans selfishly do, think of only himself. I would definitely recommend this movie for families to watch, it will always be a family classic.

It is an interesting story and nice one shot movie. I personally like the scenes but I was waiting more action and more guns shooting because it is a war movie. That is the reason I rate this movie with the score of 7.

I do not have any history with Moon Knight, aside from playing his character on a game. I just watched & reviewed Obi-Wan, lacking any heart & soul. Well, Moon Knight is ALL heart & soul, two very grounded excellent performances by Oscar Isaac & Ethan Hawke. Great pacing, interesting & compelling writing, fantastic production values & cinematography. What a surprise to me that this is such a fantastic & enjoyable series. Has some quite intense dark themes of inner psyche, the battles both inner & outer. A gripping, twisted telling of the confused human mind. Steeped in a rich soup of historical mythology. Did I mention the perfectly matched & highly enjoyable music throughout. Subtle when needed rising to such a powerful compliment. This is everything Obi-Wan should have been but isn't.

Such a worst movies to watch. I feel boring during all the time. Not a worthy movies to watch.

Season 1 was nice, season 2 was meh, season 3 terrible.
There are some glimpses to the fringe territory but it was mostly waste of time. A lot of ewwww moments sprayed with awwww moments mixed into something unwatchable.

This a great mini tv series about a horrible nuclear disaster really good thanks all

I'm going to start this review by saying that I'm not a big fan of superheroes stories because they are always a little bit cliché. I found this show ok to watch but the acting of Ellen Page who plays the character Vanya made some scenes looks so unreal and the intentions of her character were unclear.

I don't know why this movie has caused so much turmoil, upheaval. It is a boring movie that in several scenes tries to imitate the beautiful 2001 A Space Odyssey. It is so improbable and full of errors. No doubt the special effects are very good indeed. The development of the picture is monotonous, has useless dialogue and it could have been more interesting if it had different situations, not just the blackness of space for 125 minutes. Music is good, photography is also good. It is a typical Hollywood movie, with several situations that are definitively not possible in real life to long to mention here!! It only deserves the best effects Oscar.
| 2 |
Yes, it picked up after Ep 4, but still not enough, into 6 I was bored again and started to wonder why I was hanging in there, it has moments of curiosity and artistic flare but also periods of basically nothing and waiting for another piece of the jigsaw, half of which are pretty predictable.

To me and probably to many other people The Godfather Part II is more of a continuation than sequel to The Godfather. Just look at the IMDb rating and you'll see I'm not the only one who feels this way. To me it as good as the first.
The acting may have been better than the acting in the original. Robert De Niro gave a perfect subtle performance as Vito Corleone. His portrayal was powerful and breathtaking. When I think De Niro I definitely do not think subtle and smooth but that is exactly what he was in here. It is definitely one of his top three performances in his career. The depth in his portrayal was able to justify the Vito Corleone that Marlon Brando portrayed in the first. Al Pacino gave a very strong performance playing Michael Corleone. In here we get to see more of the tough decisions that have to be made and the consequences of certain actions. Al Pacino perfectly displayed the amount of thought and struggle that goes into and comes out of every action you make; the way it affects relationships, family, power and influence. Diane Keaton was not really given a lot of room to act in the first but in here she is very good. She did not play the stereotypical wife who always stands behind her husband but rather the woman with a mind of her own who is willing to go after what she feels she deserves. Robert Duvall again to me was the glue to the movie. Just having him in there kind of makes you feel safe. John Cazale also had more of an impact in here than in the first playing the half-witted brother always needing to be bailed out. A lot of these characters sound so familiar and stereotypical but in The Godfather Part II every character is played out with such extraordinary depth. Everyone from Talia Shire who gave a fine performance to Lee Strasberg all the way down to the kid who played young Vito Corleone were perfect. Part II seems to me to be more of a character study than the original.
The directing once again is perfect. Francis Ford Coppola know or at least knew how to make a movie. The first to Godfather movie are done so precisely and perfectly that nothing really sticks out because they are so perfect throughout. Coppola just lets his actors play everything out as he should with type of cast he has here. Not to many movies can maintain such a consistent flow over 3 hours let alone even an hour and 45 minutes.
The writing may not have been quite as good as the first in terms of quoting but the storyline was perfect. Seeing the decisions made by new mob boss Michael Corleone was common sense but flashing back on Vito Corleone's life was genius. The storyline to me could not have been better and Coppola and Puzo do a great job with it all the way.
Like the first the cinematography was amazing but it had a slightly different tone to it. The first had more of a majestic, mythical look to it. In Part II you feel the modern times creeping in and the Corleones having to adjust to it. Part II has more of a corrupt and evil twist to it but I guess the end signifies that. The music obviously the same as the first was perfect and just fit so greatly with the rest of the movie.
The first to movies of The Godfather series are really like the same movie. They are not the same though, they are actually very different but the greatness of them both and the continuation of the storyline from the first to the second really create a strong band between each other. To me it is only a sequel in that it was the second movie of a great series. No let downs, no disappointments just a continuation of of the greatness from the first one.

the godfather part 2 is more of a continuation then a sequel.its also a prequel,showing flashbacks of Vito corleone as a youth,and later as a young man played by Robert DE niro.there's more murder and mayhem.AL pacino takes over as boss of the family,as mob movies go this and the godfather 1 are the best,Mario puzo wrote the story as well as the screenplay.the performances by pacino,Talia shire,Robert duvall,Robert DE niro,Diane Keaton are excellent,look for roger corman playing a small part towards the ending.the connection here is that roger corman gave Francis ford Coppola his first job at directing with the film dementia 13,a black and white horror film.godfather 2 also stars john cazale and lee strasberg.this is a highly recommended film,it must be seen uncensored to be really appreciated.10 out of 10.excellent sequel.

I was looking forward to seeing this, since it had won Oscar for best picture. I was so bored that I couldn't even watch the entire film. The first fifteen minutes is the best part. At least something happened then. After that, nothing happens. There is scene after scene of soldiers holding weapons, beating up Iraqui civilians and generally doing very little. I kept hoping a bomb would go off or an Irqui civilian would go crazy or there would be a suicide bomber. Anything to relieve the monotony. Even when I thought there would be a bit of human interest when the wife of a killed soldier receives a call, the scene was abruptly cut off. I finally shut the movie off. How could this have been selected for best picture?

The first title was an ok movie. The second title... no clue what is happening here. It jumps from one thing to another without any explanation. Almost as if a large movie has been cut into pieces and they forgot to include certain pieces. There is no logic in the sheer force of Grindelwald (20 aurors have less power than 1 magic user?) The movie doesn't have an ending. This was a waist of time. Gave it 5 stars for the nice special effects, the acting and the effort to incorporate some of the Harry Potter things.

I thought this would be along the lines of Impractical Jokers where it's just a bunch of giddy, juvenile idiots, who then go on to publicly embarrass themselves, with their friend in tow.
It wasn't like that at all. I'm struggling slightly to convey how good this is without seeming like I'm paid to do so. Because it genuinely is very good. Not "knock your socks of amazeballs", but certainly "laughing out loud for real, not the almost meaningless 'lol' crap".
With that said: The solid acting from James Marsden pulls it altogether.
However, that's not to discredit anyone else. Everyone's performance were brilliantly acted.
Added to the fact that the writers had written an exception script for this very specific, very niche, very different and unique screenplay.
As mentioned, not an impractical jokers kinda guy, but the plots, the cringe, the naivety from Ronald, the only cast out of the loop, adds fantastically to the set up.
And you can really see all his genuine amazement, shock and bewilderment and joy from the scenes played out in front of him.
Whomever was the cast director deserves an Oscar. I mean, these people were perfect for exactly every role they played. To the point where one can say: The didn't play the part, they lived it.
Well done and hopefully a season 2 can come out if this stays just below the radar that they can catch another fish for this.
As per my review, a solid eight. Which for this type of show in my opinion, is excellent. Potentially a 9 or 10 score won't exist unless it is in Zuckerberg's Meta Universe where you can play by physically be there and the options are multiple choice, which will direct the experience in certain directions, but you take a "physical" part of the show and not simply the "fly on the wall viewer"
Anyway, enjoy, don't enjoy, but by the Gods, man... Give it a Go!

Each and everything was showing there tremendous effort. The story and all the main and supportive character was well established. Everyone tries hard I must say. From my perspective, I didn't like Radhika Apte's acting in this series. I have watched many films of Radhika Apte, where she did marvelous work. I am actually a fan of Radhika Apte. I have seen her to cope up with any kind of role. I hope in the Season 2 if Radhika Apte back she will try hard to make herself more dedicated to the role. Mainly, Jitendra Joshi, Neeraj Kabi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui force me to see all the episode.

Marvel really upped their game here. This show is so well thought out, it's truly mesmerizing. It leaves you wanting more everytime the credits start rolling. Elizabeth is a stunning actress and the casting is really good too. Highly recommend!!

With so one many actots playing characters in a certain way-a certain theme- then slap bang in the middle is a guy who can not act, at all. Denzel Washington is a truly amazing actor. His son ( nepotism in all its forms) is like a piece of cardboard. Great scenes ( without the son) then wham mr cardboard box is again back with his two facial expressions.
Putting Bale next to mr Washington- I can only imagine what's going through Bale's mind. Wtf is wrong with the world? I've been acting for 30 years , learning a craft and this guy : Plays a jock in ballers ( that he could do) and now he's sharing an equal footing on screen as me! At least marky mark in the boxer movie could hold his own- a bit.
I just found it hard to be immersed into movie then switch - I'm watching a college kid play cat.

"The Lighthouse" is a disappointment. You've seen "The Shining," you've seen the descent into madness that is the descending beginning from point one, here. (There's noplace to go else *to* -- it's like when those critics talk about cutting to a telephone so you can wait for it to ring.) Dafoe's too Dafoe-y, and Robert Matthison battles a seagull the size of a turkey at one point. Suffice it to say, the movie's a *movie* (and knows it) and doesn't have to build internal logic or narrative credibility to go surreal later; it cheats its own logic by thinking it's whimsically constructed to begin with and just tosses every next thing in there -- think "plausible enough" and you'll understand why you're not won over. Since the filmmakers won't risk being bored, you are.
(I'd rather listen to "Good Morning, Captain!")

Watched with my 14 yr old daughter tonight, Episode 1.
I hated it. She hated it.
I watched the TV series long ago, but she had no prior reference or bias. Yet we both hated it.
This show sucks. Actors are trying their best, but wow, the writers just concocted a total mess here. Nothing for new viewers like her, or nostalgic veiwers like me, to enjoy. Just slow-paced, incoherent, bad TV. And not to mention a Giger-esque rip-off robot that is not the least bit interesting or charming.
I wanted to like this show a lot. Sadly, Episode 1 is our last.

Don't believe the critics ... It's the best Witcher series we could have gotten. Henry is amazing and so is Anya

It was good for the first 6 or 7 seasons then went downhill the show lost what it had going for it it wasn't funny anymore and all the charecters felt bland.

First of all, the TV series House of the Dragon really disappointed me. Despite its potential, I think it had too many issues. The script was careless, the dialogues were silly and unconvincing, and the characters were flat and uninteresting. Additionally, I believe many plotlines were developed too slowly, which made the series dull. While some viewers may enjoy it, I consider it a serious step backward. The series suffers from weak acting, uninteresting characters, and a convoluted plot, and the dragon scenes are too numerous and often serve only to fill time.
But my biggest disappointment was that the series failed to convey the same epic atmosphere and depth of characters that were in the original series Game of Thrones. I expected compelling characters, breathtaking battles, political intrigue, and unexpected plot twists, but instead, I got a series that seemed empty and frivolous.
Therefore, I believe that House of the Dragon is not worthy of its predecessor. It is a failed and boring series. I didn't like its script, characters, and plot development, and I think it's not worth watching.

this movie "Special 26" is really a special movie for akshay kumar in a long long time...neeraj pandey's previous directorial movie "A Wednesday" was an awesome thriller drama film and he has done the same amount of justice with his latest special 26..the movie doesn't bore u anywhere during its 2 and a half hour run and ends with a decent climax.!! manoj vajpeyee as usual have done justice to his role and not to forget anupam kher who is very special in this movie!! jimmy shergil, once again have proved himself in a short role as he did in "a Wednesday"!!! a treat to watch for intelligent film lovers.. "WELL DIRECTED AND VERY WELL ACTED"..

The writing in this show is incredible. Not only does it play off the different personalities of the characters but it realistically and comedically captures the forming friendship of neighbours who are essentially strangers but are closer than they know. Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Martin Short are brilliant and both bring you to tears and laughter. The shorter episode length keeps you on your toes but keeps it refreshing and exciting. Brilliantly funny "who dunnit" mystery!

It was slightly funny, but the accents were horrible! The only one who was passable was Scarlet. Not worth wasting 2 hours.

The movie does not white wash partition time violence and calls a spade a spade! It doesn't preach all religions are same! Excellent script and execution. Full marks to the director.

Avatar the Last Airbender was not your normal childrens cartoon. This show reaches a wide range audience with several dark and heavy topics. Genocide, good vs evil, life vs. death. Mixing the 4 elements with a Game of Thrones/Star Wars type storyline is how this show evolved into a masterpiece. Each character was built upon perfectly with very satisfying endings to each charachter. The mix of anime comedy and dramtic music and effects made this show instantly watchable. The voices were terrific. This show makes you cry, laugh, love, hate, forgive, and remember. This shows ending beats out any great show out there. This is the consenus best show I have ever watched.

I enjoyed the first season, the second season was interesting. But this is new season is just kind of boring and bland. I'm at episode 5 and don't think I am going to finish the season. Not sure what's changed but it's just horrible now. Almost as if they ran out of ideas. I still think its good to watch the first two seasons, but stop watching after that.

I guess the point of the movie was to demonstrate that Americans are over-reactive, unfair and hateful. From childhood, apparently, Americans learn to be bad people who grow up to be worse people. Any enemies we have must be good people. Never mind that there were Russian spies in America, they are portrayed as the "good guys" here. Americans were bad for a.) catching Russian spies and b.) engaging in the same espionage Russia was engaging in.
A common theme among Hollywood stories seems to be that everyone but Americans are the good guys, yet Hollywood still has not relocated to the Palestine territories. Curious. It seems somewhat ironic to me that they benefit from capitalism while making movies about how actually evil capitalists are, then give themselves awards for half a year. Nobody I know makes $42 million for 24 days of filming, but somehow the person that does is more virtuous than my neighbor, who retired from law enforcement. He thinks America is a great place to live.

Troubled main character with something to do about his wife and kid (eye roll) goes and protects some other kid. Typical story, typical characters, over the top, etc. Fight scenes are good and that's about it. But that's what I expected so I enjoyed it . Only see this movie for the violence the story is retarded and characters are retarded.

The movie 1917 was interesting to watch. A part of the movie that I didn't like was when Schofield cut his hand on barbed wire then proceeded to stick his open wound inside the gut of a deadman. That was just disgusting to see, and all I could think about was all of the disease he must have gathered for it. A scene from the movie that I found interesting was when Schofield found the girl up under the house with a baby by herself in the midst of a war. All I could think about was how many other women, and children were still around the area of where the war happened and how many survived. I rated this movie seven stars because it's not something that I usally watch but I did find it interesting.

The writers really dropped the ball with season 3 and now I can't believe there will be a season 4!! They've done a huge disservice to all the talented young actors who built seasons 1&2. The introduction of Ani was really such a bad decision. Like who the heck is she?! I was so confused watching the first two episodes of season 3. She knew so much so fast and was trusted so fast and was accepted into the circle so fast. Just doesn't make sense at all. So I did what most people did and I googled who killed Bryce Walker cause I just couldn't stand to watch this show any longer. Just awful! Don't make season 4!!

I give a 6 only because there were some bright moments and actors were good. But the story itself, seriously boring, nothing to keep you interested, romance? humor? drama? musical? a little from everything but not enough just bland. Choreography had nothing special nothing to impress while it's something to expect from a musical, and singing scenes? Boring with no essence, no weight, no magic... And there was no romance except some kissing and dancing. At some point you want to stop watching but hey it's La La Land I've been expecting this movie, it looked so positive and stylish compared to violent superhero junk that's so popular these days. Such a disappointment. A story who keeps you sad and bored, life is unfair.. but then hey something is going on they meet each other and... nah... oh wait maybe finally they... nah the end

I watched this movie based on it's IMDb rating. After all, it scored only 1/10th of a point lower than "Lord of the Rings" (first one) so it must be a pretty damn AWESOME movie, right? Well....NO! It wasnt a BAD movie, it just wasnt....magical.
Now, I do love my Sci Fi and Fantasy movies, however movies based on real life can be magical as well. Think "Silence of the Lambs" or "Se7en". This movie has a decent concept based on the interactions of 2 classes of people. I would go so far as to say there is no clear "good guy" and no clear "bad guy." In life, there seldom is. That said, it was interesting and entertaining but no way it ranks a 8.6. I think results are being skewed by a foreign market that has (understandable) pride in making a film with international appeal.

Every second of episode one had me on the edge of my seat! To see it like this sheds light on the disaster like never before. Unbelievable!

Honestly i wanted to throw up at the parts of this film. What was the deal with the boss (Antwan)? They built him up to deadly serious at the start then when he arrives he acts like a 10yr old whos drank 5 cans of redbull through his eyeball and sprouts 80s catchphrases. What person under 30 is gonna get the different strokes quotes he spews out And what person of any age is going to find a guy acting like a kid on a sugar rush funny ? Everytime he was on screen my eyes wanted to roll back into my skull. I read somewhere he improvised his parts, if that's the case he needs to stick to the scripts in future because it was terrible.
Overall this is your typical run of the mill comedy movie plot with gross amounts of pop culture references jammed into it so it appeals to everybody. It has some funny moments but they are quickly forgotten by the countless horrible and cringe worthy ones like the cameos from "youtubers" or antwan.boss guy, It's clearly just a very quick cash grab film as its already dated and it's only just come out.
I'm really not sure who they are trying to appeal this movie to as it takes a shot everyone. But it seems like they mostly take the mick out of its target audience. The gamers . This movie is really only appealing to them but they get made out to be little girls behind the screens and called man boys who live in their moms basements who use a w@@k sock and are constantly insulted all the way through the film.
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you
Then there's this off brand message that you shouldn't go round killing NPC's and the "youtubers" and random video clips of people backing it up. Im guessing thats the writers taking a swipe at gta v due to the violence in the game and this is them trying to get a point across ... just like in the parts of the film they are trying to send a message by stating the white male character suffers from his "white male privilege" and all the players have a "toxic male masculinity" mindset ..... why bring your political views or negative views on white men into a film that's supposed to be a comedy for everybody ? Once again i had to sit there and listen to the ramblings of some woke writer ruin the film within the first 15 mins and try to make me feel guilty about my race and sex because they couldn't help but keep their toxic ideas to themselves.
I watch films (especially comedy films ) to escape from the real world and politics or to just brighten my day. Now all i ever hear on films is race baiting catchphrases and shots at white men and how evil they are... Why is this a thing? It's not funny or inspiring or helping a cause ,It's just sickening.
I wouldn't recommend this film to anybody tbh . No teenager will think its funny, just cringy and no person whos not into gaming will find it mildly interesting because the plot is trash. The only people that will enjoy this is ryan reynolds fans who enjoy his quirky sense of humor or little kids who will block out any of the story/plot and just watch it for the visuals and gaming references,..... "look mom ,fortnight".
It could have been a good and funny film if done right but it fails hard. If they had dialed back the wokeness made an effort to relate to the gamers instead of insulting them and made the boss anything but an over the top 80s villain that you would find in one of the the 3 ninja kids movies then you would have been on the right track.
I give this a 2/10. And that's being generous.

Even though I am still wondering the point of Uri, a self-boasting, anti-cantankerous film based on actual events, it did not cross my mind till before the second half when I was honestly enjoying Aditya Dhar's superior craft of war and its storytelling as he gives into the dreamy requirements of every patriotic cinema enthusiast in an action film where Pakistan again plays the bad element for the nth time and Vicky Kaushal moves to the next level of stardom. TN.

Full disclosure - I have only watched two episodes. I haven't seen any indication among the reviews that the show changes dramatically, so presume that these are a good indication of the entire series
In a plot which requires you to not take anything remotely seriously, a premise unfolds in the first episode, with armoured-up super agents travelling back in time because the protagonist has beaten a computer game designed to train soldiers of the future. They team up and go back in time to reverse an incident which supposedly resulted in an apocalyptic future
This is a fairly familiar scenario which has played out well for other franchises, but those did it with class and clever humour. In Future Man we are treated to toilet humour and a dialogue and plot you can predict line for line - perhaps that is the real time travel element?
There's definitely an audience for this kind of show. It's going to be fun if you enjoy obvious setups, frat humour gags with telegraphed jokes. I might have enjoyed this when I was 12, and I don't mean that in a facetious way.

Even after 13 years since its release, this movie still isn't getting old. It's really one of my personal favorites, and after re-watching it again today after some time, I have decided to give one of beloved movies a review.
My Sassy Girl offers an excellent narrative to complement the astounding acting of the two main leads. This movie isn't like your average Hollywood romcom, in that its a really sweet and touching love story, but it's not overly cheesy and mushy and the like. You really can't help but to fall in love with these characters and the story!
It's a story about how fate always seems to make things right in the end. The only thing I'm a bit sad about right now is not being able relive the FIRST time I watched it wherein it truly captivated me and captured my emotions. I remember feeling melancholic and lonely right after the credits started rolling as I realized that this story that I had grown so attached to for the past hour and a half was over. This movie will always have a special place in my heart.

Nagpur based story on real events.

Great direction, screenplay, it is art+Mainstream genres movies.

This was neither great nor terrible; this was just fine, an okay, serviceable thriller. It would have been far worse if it hadn't been for Denzel and his magnetic aura and screen presence.
It had its share of intense, exciting moments, but there was absolutely no importance placed on any of the characters, let alone the leads; as a result, even when they triumphed over all the obstacles in their path (literally) and tasted the glory, I couldn't rejoice because I never cared for these characters in the first place.
Although I should admit, I did not have high expectations to begin with; I tuned in because the trailer reminded me of 'Speed,' and I love that movie, so I became curious and wanted to give it a shot, which is how I ended up here. But I'm not going to watch it again, just not worthy of a re-watch.

Despite having only seen the first two episodes of House of the Dragon, I think it's already safe to say that this series is not going to live up to it's hype. This series is just NOT on the same level as it's predecessor. It's been more than 10 years since the first season of GoT aired on HBO, and watching the first episode of HotD feels like we've gone back in time. Of course, storywise we're set back about 172 years in Targaryen family history, but what I mean is productionwise. Compared to GoT, the whole look and feel of HotD is a complete downgrade. From the costumes, the characters, the attention to detail, to the overall use of CGI, it's just never on the same level as GoT. In a show that focuses mainly on the 'house of Dragons' you would expect these dragons to look absolutely flawless, like Drogon in GoT. They don't. They look like what you would expect from a show on TV-show budget. GoT went way beyond that level. Another thing that bothered me was the lack of charisma or realism in the characters. With most of the Targaryens you can clearly see they're all wearing wigs. As for king Vyseris; he looks almost cartoonish, as if he just walked off some Disney-live action Fairytale movie set. Same goes for Daemon. His armor in the first episode during the joust game just looks ridiculous, with the flappy dragon wings on his helmet. Remember Jaimie Lannisters armor in GoT? Or even that of The Mountain? THAT is how you make an armor look realistic. These armors represented the persons wearing it. It showed their persona. Damon's armor is just a poorly designed, cartoonishly caricatural representation of a bad guy.
I could go on about all the details that bothered me in this show, or the clearly forced sex scenes and brutal violence the first episode is packed with, but overall it's just clear that what we've got here is a show that desperately and forcefully tries to be as good as GoT, but just never reaches that level.

It was a complete movie with clear indications of a beginning, middle, and end. However, they skate by all of it under 100 minutes. I think they tried to cover the bases and to keep the audience from leaving the theater due to the very sensitive sound mixing. But stay tuned for a very worthy post credits scene!
| 7 |
The old story was ahead of its time but dated yet this regresses instead of making progress. The best thing is does is the production crew makes it visually appealing.
However the acting is average and the writing is embarrassing. If it isn't an action scene the show can be hard to watch.
If you want to see one of the worst characters I have seen a show commit to this show is for you. A character who is supposed to be a master liar and manipulator weave a web of lies with every single character in the show and betray them over and over and over and over and over with the worst logic and excuses you will ever hear just to them never held accountable. It becomes laughably bad but since it's a kids show consequences rarely exist.

Keifer Sutherland is great in his role of Jack Bauer an agent for C.T.U. (counter terrorism Unit) in this action packed show where a day seems to take forever (well at least a season). The first season was simply amazing with the freshness of the idea for the show, the surprises, great acting, a dimwit but uber-hot daughter, and one of the best ending scenes for a TV show of all time. All the subsequent seasons couldn't help but pale in comparison. Season 2 was still very thrilling and highly watchable. Something happened in the third season that made me like the show a tad less. That was the addition of Mary Lynn Rajskub as Chloe. Every time she said or did anything severely dumb (which have been too numerous to count) I found myself wincing. Sure Jack's daughter seemed to be a little on the flaky side, but Chloe was borderline mental and why ANY important government agency that's worth anything would ever hire someone so insanely deficient of any semblance to mental capacity is something I can't fathom. I could suspend disbelief for a lot of what happened in 24 (it can get a tad outlandish sometimes), but NOT Chloe.
Pre-Chloe grade: A Post-Chloe: B-

This is a total cash grab. If it's wasn't for the Harry Potter-related pedigree, if this was just some fantasy Disney or Dreamworks movie, nobody would pay it any more attention than countless other FX films.
It's just not good. It's boring. The characters are bland and pointless. The story is nonsensical gibberish. Period. You don't have a good movie with that right there.
But it's also produced poorly. NYC looks sterile and fake. It never seems like they aimed a camera at a real street or a carefully built set. It's that shined up virtual set that George Lucas brought us in the Star Wars prequels. Bleh.
The titular beasties are absolutely uninspiried. Napoleon Dynamite's "liger" is about the extent of what you get. A platypus that steals jewelry. A rhino with an inflatable snout. Every animal is 2-3 actual animals mashed up.
These "magical world" movies are making the movie-going public weary. How many of these can the put out and make money? Weird magic people who live in complex fantasy worlds with lots of rules. BFG and Mrs. Perigrine's Home for Unusual Children come to mind.
Harry Potter succeeded because it was the story of a family and the central characters were children discovering a whimsical new world. And the princial photography was shot on location in actual historic buildings. The CGI supported the story. In this movie, the CGI is the central character. Why would anyone care about a bunch of fake animals and a mumbling main character we know nothing about? And that's why this prequel doesn't work... it thinks that it can make 5 movies about 1920s NYC, the magic world and beasts. It fails to realize that HP succeeded because it was a family story about a boy who happened to live within a wizard world and had a whole epic plot centered on his family. The wizard world was the backdrop. Even the name "Fantastic Beasts" is a tip off that the screenwriters are clueless. Plots need protagonists and villains. We need a family, a motivation, emotion. Not bland characters chasing fake looking beasts. Ugh. Awful. Skip it!

I appreciate the efforts on the parts of the writers to try something new, and the acting was superb, but... Am I the only one who called the ending within the first few minutes? I can't possibly be. I found myself watching this movie and becoming increasingly disappointed as the story moved forward. Maybe I have a twisted mind, but I was continuously calling out the "twists" before they even happened.
Now, if you are reading this in an effort to try and decide whether you should watch it, ignore me. I say that because most people didn't share my experiences on this. Most people were surprised by the twists, and even I did appreciate watching something new anyway. Check it out, because most people will not look at it the way I did, and then it can be enjoyed.

Top Gun. The original. Came out in '86. HUGE. Didn't see it till a few years later. Great movie. For me to this day, not a remote drop. But it is iconic. Great scenes, good actors, good story, quotable lines. 35 years later, Maverick.
It starts with a tad of intrigue and nostalgia. I'm on board. That's when engine 1 flames out. The Lazy Susan spinning of nostalgia, establishing character and story, poor casting, poor script, shallow story, anchoring through nostalgia with near and HUGE misses delivers a huge budget box office bonanza straight to DVD smoldering, festering STAR WARS prequel disappointment.
Tom Cruise knows how to make a good movie. Tom Cruise knows how to make a great movie. Tom Cruise knows how to act. Tom Cruise didn't know how to make this. The final product is an insult to the term slap-dash. Each side story amounts to nothing more than a Dear Diary entry based on over hearing 5% of a conversation.
Miles Teller and Jennifer Connelly, who the hell is Penny?, are wasted. The connection between the first movie and this are wasted. Low hanging fruit is not harvested but wasted in the interest of watching Tom Cruise actually do his own death defying stunts. Incredible to watch. He is a marvel doing that. However it plays more like a YouTube video than an actual, well, you know, movie.

'Khosla Ka Ghosla' should be undoubtedly one of the best bollywood movies made in recent times. The movie revolves around a very realistic plot and depicts the dreams, anxieties and helplessness of the common man. I truly believe, these are the kind of films that ought to be made more often in bollywood. The kind which reflect on everyday life and make you think while having a good laugh. Running around trees and the alps does nobody no good. The biggest plus for the movie was that all the actors could actually act ( no irritating star kids in this one ), each and every character in the movie can be related to very easily. Kudos to the director and all the actors. Ranbir Shourie in particular was hilarious. I always liked his sense of humor when he was a DJ but, he has taken it up a notch with this one. This one is a must watch.

Lots of explosions and kaleidoscope 'ooh ahh' effects for two hours with little spirit.
I liked the first one a lot because it made me feel electric on the inside; the use of old rock and all the jokes. This one seemed like it simply tried to take a ride on the older version and not bring any substance.
It seemed like they copied Dr. Strange at the end and the whole thing just didn't do anything for me. That said, it wasn't complete garbage. It was lot not even rotting garbage, but still garbage-like.

Just finished watching Inception and boy was it a painful experience... Will not even attempt a recap since it is way too convoluted and I lost interest 30 minutes in.
How such a movie van receive so many accolades is beyond my comprehension, but then again, quite a few recent stinkers have been praised as masterpieces.
What a waste of talent and money! Seems Nolan adopted the J.J.Abrams jerky camera style, little character development, almost no storyline and as much special effects as the budget allows. This is a great recipe for flotsam and Inception fits snugly in that category.

The first episodes are okay, but how long do they expect us to wait before knowing the premise? I'll be fine with just the sitcom aspect, but that's not Marvel. Action needs to come. Fast.

This movie sucked ... I did not enjoy it ... the CGI was horrendous ... Thank god i didn't pay to watch it ..The plot was weak ... the whole thing about love was cheesy ... The acting was OK but nothing wow ... I just did not enjoy watching this movie at all. I'm hoping that this fad for here movies will soon go away. I'm getting really tired of watching this rubbish.

Impressive cast with solid acting. But the story has been entirely stolen from "The Mist" and "The Happening" with a slight seasoning of "The Walking Dead". Nothing original or imaginative here.
| 3 |
Whilst I find many of the superhero adaptations from Marvel and D.C. tiresome and inspid, I find this one (which comes from neither house) to be inspired. Characters I care about (Diego aside - not interesting and a bit toxically masculine), Kafka-esque delivery mixed with Monty Python by way of Wes Anderson and a character in Klaus that rivals any of the stone shattering wise crackers in TV gone by, I'll certainly be encouraging as many people to watch as I can.

Generic story, without much development of the characters, little exploration of the introduced scenarios, and a plot that is not very engaging. Colorful and very well done visual effects present throughout the entire film.
We do not observe the involvement of the protagonist with the story and with its objective, the lack of this bond makes the whole story of the film little subjective and of little significance, there is no growth of the character over the events of the film, his growth and learning are minimal. The protagonist's bond with the other characters is also developed, leaving all relationships to be desired and without a real motivation in any of them, the characters only gain a title, romantic interest, best friend, intelligent colleague, and we do not see the development of any of the characters.

I was addicted to the first season, it was really good. Then it gets boring especially the third & forth season! Yet, i recommend you to watch it. It's one of the originals.

There is a reason it doesn't rate as high as other Tarantino movies. Great acting. Lovely sceneries. Decent to good dialogue. Cool slash pretty crazy development when you know the background story. So it's a good picture with some good scenes, but the total result comes a bit short in my opinion plainly because the script and the story just isn't great. Worth a watch any day, but don't expect to be as spoiled by Tarantino as you're used to.

A very good and easy to watch fantasy series. Nice effects, nice acting, nice production overall. The only thing that confused me a bit, is the constant back and forth in time sequence. Apart from that I enjoyed it very much.

Completely predictable. I don't understand what is so spectacular or good about this movie. Where do these reviews come from? People who are 16 years old and have never seen a good quality script or what? I don't get it.

First off, having a movie based on a Disney ride seemed ridiculous. Second, having Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom together in a movie seemed terrible. The outcome? A painful 2 hours I'll never get back. The movie doesn't even have a pirate theme. There's no stealing, killing, drinking, etc. Just fighting off fake CGI skeletons on a stupid ship. I don't know how this garbage made it to the top 250 list. The cheesy dialogue, dull action scenes, cardboard acting, lame use of CGI, and the ludicrous plot made this as one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm also beginning to think this is a total chick-flick, since the only people who watch it are peppy girls who drool over Depp's fake look in the movie.
