I'm a fan of the Witcher universe. I've long been fascinated by fantasy worlds such as J. R. R Tolkien's, Rick Riordan's and for the past few years, Witcher's.
The first season of this show wasn't great. I watched all of it and only the first few episodes were good, when Geralt wasn't dragging a random girl, Ciri, around. The second season similar in quality, except this time you don't get a break from Ciri.
I wanted to watch Geralt be a badass, wandering around and killing monsters. The creators of this show just forced a botched love story into the plot and now we've got to watch Yennefer doing her completely unrelated and uninteresting thing while only half the time we get to see Geralt, most of which is just him babysitting Ciri.
I seriously don't care about Yennefer's story here. It's got nothing to do with the main plot of the show, acting more like a distraction.
I haven't ever before paid much attention to the acting, but this show motivated me to look closer at it. It's unconvincing, being more reminiscent of Star Wars, which was perhaps good acting back in the day, but nowadays isn't satisfactory anymore.
The whole second season I had to watch with phone in hand, and I even started to write this review during an episode.
In conclusion, this show has been quite a disappointment. Though it does display the fantastic world if Witcher quite well, the acting and the characters in this story are unconvincing and dull. Yennefer's sidetrack is nothing more than a mere distraction from Geralt's story and Ciri is an annoying and useless sidekick, ruining most of the time we get to watch Geralt. On a more lighter note, at least my dogs found the show interesting, barking at it and watching it every once in a while.

Nothing special, a few twists and turns along the way but it's a bit obvious who was the antagonist. I'll give you the final washout was different but IT wasn't too hard to know the final destination, just the how to get there but took a little to unfold but it wasn't the most shocking twist.

Season 1 was great, season 2 began to stray a bit too much from the books, but Henry maxes it worth watching, season 3.... WTH???? So far away from what is should have been it's almost unrecognizable. And what is up with the make up looking like they all put their faces on with spatulas? WAY too much!! They look like they are on a runway somewhere, not running for their lives in the wilderness. Who knew they had a Mary Kay on every corner? I say Mary Kay because the makeup reminds me of 80's makeup. Thick and heavy. Will not be watching season 4. Henry made the right choice. Can't wait to see what he does with Warhammer.

I have watched some Marathi movies directed by Manjule (especially sairat)and appreciated the simplicity and story telling of him, however Jhund is a lazy attempt of glorifying Dalits in the name of movie, the biggest drawback of the movie is the narrations which is slow and confusing. Amitabh bachan looks like his pale shadow as a main protagonist and on top of that the too much of Jai bhim starts irritating viewers at one point when it looks like watching the celebration of Ambedkar jayanti rather than a good cinema. The screenplay is tired and seems like we already have watched the same in many sport dramas. Manjule should exclude his agenda while making meaningful cinema, the hidden agendas don't go well with the art of story telling.

After the Dark Knight was released I couldn't avoid the hype that surrounded it and decided to give the two first movies a watch. I thought both movies were okay but not spectacular, apart from the memorable Joker. The thing is, i can't just name exactly what caused it but both movies just bored me a bit. I think this feeling is caused mainly because the world of Gotham doesn't get a lot of attention. Sure, we see skyscrapers, Batman's mansion and an occasional location for a fighting scene but it isn't enough, it makes the city feel like a cardboard background, which for me just kills the atmosphere and chance to immerse myself in this fictional world. Besides this, i like Christian Bale in most movies but as Batman...he just can't convince me! The fact that he changes his voice when being Batman doesn't help, it just sounds silly.
But okay, I was entertained enough to watch the close of the trilogy and i must say, it was the best movie of the three. Bane is an awesome bad guy and the movies has some 'big moments' (that collapsing stadium!) that shocked me. My biggest complaint is that the pace of the movie slows down considerably after the stadium scene. It seems that after Bane conquers Gotham he just does NOTHING! Then it is just a matter of time before Batman saves the day. The ending was cool though but again...this trilogy just isn't for me. In most cases i can understand/share the love for a movie/trilogy but here it seems i am living in a different dimension, a dimension in where i think Gotham should be portrayed as a vivid but grimy city, with things like crazy nightlife filled with shady characters and a Batman who talks like Batman..even when he is off duty.

I love all Nolan movies , but Jesus this was boring #boring
Lots of boring american politics , very little science #boring
I came away not really caring much for the Oppenheimer character, I neither liked or disliked him , him getting screwed out of his next Job was boring , I couldn't care less , the guy did seem to be easily manipulated so maybe should not have top level security clearance #boring
Pointless being shot in iMax really waste of money
The only thing I liked was the use of sound , it had to use sound to prevent it being a 3 hour talk fest.
Downey junior was the best actor in the film.

You know those phases in life when everything is absolutely f****d up and you know that it is only going to get messier from there? James and Alyssa know that too. But as you keep watching episode after episode, you realize these two are are capable of cleaning up their mess and you do want their love story to go on, except that it shouldn't.
James and Alyssa shouldn't be doing what they are doing and you know that too (As a viewer). But we still hope the story goes on and we find ourselves forgiving all that they are doing... kind of an interesting way to find out about human tendencies to forgive and forget... :)
In all the chaos and the madness that these two teenagers create, you find absolute beauty and innocence... you know that misfits don't find other misfits as misfits... and soon, you don't find them misfits too when you learn more about them :)

Iron Man 2 fell quite short of its predecessor. You still have the charisma and strong performance from Robert Downey Jr. And Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L Jackson are a welcome addition. But the plot is flimsy at best. The main antagonist is weak and unimpressive. Mickey Rourke's character's motivation is quickly explained in 30 seconds and the start of the film offered little context or explanation and now he's the main threat? He was so unimpressive that he should have been someone Ironman wiped out in the first 5 minutes. The action scenes, court proceedings to seize Tony's technology and his poorly executed relationship with Piper is also not particularly exciting to watch.

This show spends a lot of time with other characters but doesn't really have anything about The Tick fighting crime. It's very slow moving. The acting is great however.

I am a huge fan of psychological thrillers so I was extremely excited to start this show! Every detail in this show was extremely methodical and played an important role in the storyline! My favorite is the grotesque aesthetics portrayed throughout the show because it really tied together Hannibal Lecture's character. Also props to all the actors for the immaculate work. Will's portrayal of disassociating from himself was my favorite. Personally, for me, I felt the show was at times "slow" and it took me a few times to finish.

I was super excited to see this movie but I'm coming away from the cinema a bit disappointed. The marketing for this was amazing and everyone who watched it said that its not going to be what I expect and so my expectations were very high. There were some clever jokes and very beautiful sets and costumes but honestly the plot was hard to follow and there was nothing very nuanced or clever about the message. I think this film is a little late, maybe it would have resonated better a few years ago when these conversations were first taking place but to me it doesn't add much value to the feminist cause. It's worth seeing as it's definitely of cultural interest, but I won't be rewatching it.

I watched the first 45 minutes of this film and then went on auto-pilot, meaning skipped through a lot of the excessive dialogue scenes in the various locations where our group of people fleeing from the unnamed, unseen invaders(?)/demons(?)/biological experiments-gone-wrong(?)/totally unnecessary allegory for some other aspect of modern civilization(?) and I am glad I did. This flick clocks in at over 2 hours and I would say about 1:00hrs are pure dramatic filler designed to keep a certain subset of the viewership interested.
I won't drop any spoilers or plot hints, but I will warn you - this is the kind of movie that would have much lower ratings if people had been convinced to drag their families out of the house on a cold winter day and plop down $50+ for the movie and popcorn in a theater. This BELONGS on Netflix as it's just not that compelling or unique.

24 TV series provide me life power. I always fight with the hard conditions during the day and the only thing that keeps me alive during this unendurable stages is the Jack Bauer's action's scenes on my mind. Move! move! move! move! moovee!!! I adapt my self to deal with the hard conditions of this world. I really appreciate Kiefer Sutherland first of all, and the producers and directors of 24. With 24, I still stand even at the hardest conditions, I endure and I do my best to endure my unbearable pains... Thanks to Jack Bauer!!! Thanks to Kiefer Sutherland!!!!!. If I were I a rich man, I would do my best to support 24's productions financially...

Was good. Good story,good acting, decent action. But it was sooo close to great but fell short. As it had to potential to do soo much more,introduce soo many loved characters. Not trying to knock the Monica Rambo introduction too hard but it's a comic character nobody cared about or asked for. Mephisto however wouldve great. Or the house of M story line introducing xmen. That wouldve blown my hair back. Or the "engineer being Reed Richards introducing the Fantastic 4. But it felt like mostly filler when all was said and done.

... but second half picked up. Does anyone know how to write a tight script? Omg this drags! 30 mins too long. Lots of fun cameos and superb recreation of 1967-1970 period though.

A very well produced show, I'm really enjoying my time following this series. Great ideas, great actors and above all i enjoy the sequence of events and how they were able to connect all the ideas with avengers flawlessly. It give the watcher a satisfaction to see a well produced and well contained sci-fi. They were able to extend far beyond the avengers and at the same time not losing the story, getting out of context, or making illogical scenes " according to the shield world". I hope this show would go on and I'm very much interested to see where this is going and what other great ideas they'll add to the show. Thank you for producing such a well done series.

Perhaps they shouldn't have bothered. GoT was a very high bar and anything following it would be expected to try to reach it. This first episode was a let down. Plenty of violence and cruelty, but the storyline fails to grab you.

Chemistry between the led character is extra ordinary. Fresh and interesting plot. I could not stop after I started watching this show. would definitely like to watch more of this.

2 words. Justin Foley. He is singlehandedly responsible for my love for the show, he's just amazing. He's like the Xander Harris or John Diggle of this show. The show would be a 7/10 without him, and I'm not gay, but I love seeing him on screen. Once again, my love for the characters of John Diggle and Xander Harris are only a little bit stronger than my love for Justin Foley. I'm not gay, their just great

... slaughtering a line from the superior "Princess Bride". It's a shame that Keanu Reeves is supposed to be one of the nicest guys to work with in Hollywood, because this film is a mess. We should stop asking Hollywood to come up with original ideas, because when they do, this is the result. 101 minutes of cliched action that checks all of the boxes - retired hit-man coming out of retirement, a boy and his dog, the perfect wife who is conveniently dead, stolen cars, Russian mobsters, a spoiled son who doesn't have half the restraint and judgment of dad precisely because dad spoiled him, and lots of blood.
We should stop criticizing the millennials so much, because all we've bequeathed to them is 100K of student debt each for four year degrees that don't get them jobs and films like this. Kudos to the effects team, because they did good work. They are the only reason this film gets even four stars.

I watched everything 4 times, one time as a child we had BBQ outside and the last episode of this show was playing on tv, i eventually ended up watching it through the outside window of my house.

Awesome homage to the original. We have a fleet of starships but crappy flashlights.

Had great expectations for this, considering the all-star cast (probably the main reason anyone ever saw it). Turns out it is a complete dud of a movie. Its like they want to copy the old comedy "Murder by Death" (which was brilliant), and season with some Agatha Christie standards, but what comes out does not even have the quality of a freaken Poirot episode!
A huge waste of great actors - Daniel Craig not connecting with the audience at all, doing a horrible semi-southern accent that takes all the soul out of his speech (compare to Kevin Spacey brilliantly speaking southern in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"), Jamie Lee Curtis almost doesn't have a role at all, same goes for Don Johnson.
Ana de Armas has the lead, and she can't carry this load of dung either.
The cinematography and sets are just horrible - like the set of a slightly more gloomy sitcom. The script is pure crap - feels all the way through like somebody once had a good idea, but all that is left of it is the logline. This film has no humor, no good dialogue, no chemistry between any of the actors (or any room given to have some). At the end you really don't care who dunnit, you just want it to freaken end.
The only actor that managed to connect - slightly - with the audience was LaKeith Stanfield as the cop (whom I've never seen before), and I really don't know why - must have been just the look on his face - because he sure didn't get any good dialogue either.

"I'm terrible at dumb things" - Benoit Blanc
The sequel to Knives Out doesn't live up to its predecessor, but it's still a very entertaining watch. Unlike the first one its much slower and it takes its time to get going. The first half feels very uneventful and it's a certain point in the middle where it shows you what's actually going on, when this movie takes off. Afterwards there's a lot of information thrown at you quickly and that's when this movie really starts to entertain.
The mystery isn't as great as in the 1st movie, but it's still good enough. But this movie is still pretty funny. In fact the last 30 minutes or so were hilarious. Daniel Craig is just brilliant once again. After this movie, I like Benoit Blanc's character even more. I love how even though how smart he is, he never holds back on his emotions and really gets involved in these cases. Edward Norton was brilliant too. But as long as characters and acting goes, that's about it because you don't really feel the presence of other characters. That's a step down from the previous movie because that movie was a great ensemble of cast and almost every actor owned the screen in the little screentime they got. Rian Johnson is a great director and once again he did a great job here. The movie also has a little theme connecting Benoit Blanc and this particular mystery and that I thought was hilarious and pretty clever too.
The final 10 minutes though go a little out of hand because they went a bit too much for drama instead of logic there. And the "Who did it part" was again pretty standard. But it was more about the entertaining way the movie uses to reveal it.
Overall, I don't think its near as good as the 1st but it's still entertaining and feels a bit different from its predecessor.

I've seen all of MCUs but I've never considered them films. More of like a series of product/ TV episodes with great production value.
I liked the first Iron Man as its a complete film of its own and structurally sets the ultimate MCU formula that pretty much continue to work with all other movies. I also liked Guardians of the Galaxy which I thought really differed itself from what people think Marvel should be. That being said I've always thought Feige was a genius in the fact that he doesn't set out to do "comic book" movies but rather playing with different genres within the same universe.
Yet Captain America: Civil War is a totally different animal. It's the ultimate Marvel movie that geeks like myself dream of in their head ever since they announced plan to do shared universe back in 2009.
Ensemble movies are hard to pull off strictly from a storytelling perspective. Balancing characters, keeping each motivation simple and understandable, tonally fresh, thematically focused, and with just right amount of pace that keeps the momentum going and in the case of of this one: digging deeper into existing characters AND introducing brand new ICONIC ones without ruining the whole narrative. Civil War actually does all of them but never forgets to keep it fun and action-packed enough in the process.
Black Panther is a classic yet niche character in the universe. But they amount of care that went into introducing and forging him into this already crowded ensemble is handled with great care and details. Spiderman is on a mission as well but the Russo brothers spends enough time with him to bring the character, along with his origin and new background almost seamlessly and with great humor into the MCU. All of these make the airport smackdown scene all the more memorable as we can easily root for all of the characters at their most classic selves.
Perhaps the most difficult achievement in all of this is that with all the fireworks at play and character motivations, Cap is still at the very core of the story. This is after all, a Captain America movie and they never seize to remind you of that as it starts and end with his arc completed and emotionally satisfying.
It just doesn't get better than this. So stop reading now and get a ticket.

It's not only slow and boring, the awfull "music" or sound that's supposed to make it exciting or scary is just ugly noise, which doesn't trigger any emotional reaction whatsoever.

I don't like this series. Very bad. I can't watch anymore episodes.
| 1 |
I felt like I was watching a joke...
2 hours and 10 minutes was way too long for this movie. I appreciated the backstory attempt but it just wasn't strong enough. Acting was C / B level at best, writing was choppy, not as funny as some people said..The wizard was a joke.. I couldn't even believe his character. Hollywood really needs to step up its game, its about the STORY you idiots.. not CGI.... how many years do you need to figure that out? Millions of dollars in your control and still idiots...

The fictional story of Beth Harmon's (Anya Taylor-Joy) rise from an orphan to a world class chess player is engaging and triumphant. It gives a glimpse into the mental process of geniuses who can see several steps ahead in a chess game.
I just wish the romance was sweeter.

Smoking, smoking and oh, there is some smoking with some alien and supernatural stuff mixed in.
My wife enjoys it and says everyone at work is talking about it. She doesn't like Sci- Fi.
I find it boring, annoying and about as interesting as a freshly baked lawn turd. I love Sci-Fi... but this misses the mark by a wide margin for me. Oh well.
Thumbs up only for the 80's music!

The good: *Henry Cavill performs extremely well in most scenes involving him *Small scale battles are well done *Some scenes are truly beautiful (yennefer+geralt first meeting, the ambience and line deliveries were near-perfect)
The bad: *Editting is pretty poor (so transitions are jarring) *Some scenes don't add a lot to the story, and since the first season is trying to do a lot (juggle 3 stories and trying to connect them in a meaningful way) a lot of important relationships end up being quite shallow (Ciri and Geralts relationship, for example). This left me with a bit of a rushed feeling.
The mixed: *A lot of the humor / plot clues were repeated several times. Nobody likes being spoonfed too much. *I also found the humor odd in some situations, such as when two onlookers observe a sex scene between two people they thought were dead. Maybe the tone lingered on being silly for a bit too long considering the general topics of personal drama, world-ending-prophecies, and gritty realism. *Monster hunting takes a very minuscule backseat in most of the story, with one notable exception (Anna and Foltrest). For a series called the witcher (monster hunter) I would have liked some more insight into 'witchering'. What does Geralt know of his mark, what is he doing to track them / prepare against them, and how did his encounter go? I wouldn't have to see him fight a monster in every episode, but I would have liked a bit more.

I love a good mystery and good acting. This film has neither. I imagine Daniel Craig had fun trying a southern accent and playing something different but it was distracting to the story. I didn't care enough about the movie to see all of it.

In the sequel to IRON MAN and prequel to THE INCREDIBLE HULK, we follow Tony Stark facing court due to the usage of Stark company weapons, and at the same time fight the film's two villains, Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) and Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell). The film also introduces Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) to the MCU, who has the best fight scene in the whole movie.
To be honest, this film is more forgettable than THE INCREDIBLE HULK. IRON MAN 2 lacks so much of the charm and fun that made the first film great, and tries really hard to capture that same magic, but to me the first IRON MAN film just feels like a lightning in a bottle, and the kind of story it tells and the WAY it tells, and plays off is so much more grounded and compelling than the sequel. For a lot of its runtime it feels IRON MAN 2 is drifting off from character to character that are building up to the climax, but I don't know if I missed something or not, because I never felt like the movie was actually building to anything.
On to the things I approve of in the movie, Johansson is a fantastic addition, and though she doesn't do A LOT in the movie, her fight scene near the end is kickass, and as for Robert Downey Jr., he is great as usual, but to me the stand outs of the film are Rourke and Rockwell. Rourke is pretty menacing in the role, and Rockwell is a comedic, Saul Goodman-type character, and a joy to watch.
Despite not having a very compelling plot, IRON MAN 2 is still a fun joyride that is elevated by good performances, and a badass main character.

I'll have to thank Francis Ford Coppola in person, his movies work better than any sleeping pill ever created! Have to admit, this one is slighty better than the first one but it's still a snoozefest. Why these films are so high in the all time top baffles me. But hey, next time I can't fall asleep, I'll start to watch any of the Godfather movies and I'll be sound asleep in 5 minutes. Thanks Francis!

Kangana Ranaut owns this role! She is the heart and soul of this film and this is a huge achievement for her as an actress, as in Bollywood we rarely see a film 2 and a half hours long solely dependent on its leading lady. She is perfect as the typical innocent girl next door "Rani", about to get married to her boyfriend when he suddenly cancels the marriage and she decides to go on her "honeymoon" alone to escape the bad memories at home. She travels alone to Paris & Amsterdam, makes friends, starts drinking, indulges in her hobbies and even naively buys sex toys thinking of them as massage equipments. Even the supporting characters play their part perfectly be it Lisa hayden or rajkumar rao (Shahid)or the 3 room-mates and a restaurant owner Rani meets at Amsterdam. There are many LOL moments in the film and every now and then ladies present in the theater were whistling and hooting for Kangna! Director Vikas bahl has directed a great film with no loose end and he has captured the charm of Paris and Amsterdam beautifully. The dialogues of the film should be highlighted as they are totally what we are used to hear in daily life. But in the end the film is a one woman show from Kangana Ranaut. She hits all the right chords as Rani and I am sure the film's ending will inspire many girls!!! This is a must watch!

I have no idea how this movie has an 8.1 rating. It is a 4 at absolute best but more like a 3 in our book. If you like to hear yeah a million times maybe you will see a point to it. It's slow, weird and has a ton of unnecessary cussing. The only thing that makes this movie slightly interesting is they say in the begging that it's a true story. I would not recommend wasting your time though!

Although I'm not a big fan of fantasy but I really liked this. I enjoyed every single episode indeed. Everything in the show is thrilling even the background music. Jenna killed it as Wednesday. She was really good and funny in a dark way which is something unique. I liked also all the plot twists and how everything was unexpected till the last episode and I really loved the bond between Wednesday and Enide and how it has been built slowly and step by step. Actullay every single detail in this show is well studied. Maybe this is the first netflix show that I a little bit enjoyed watching it after Dahmer.

Olsen and Bettany must have had a blast portraying these characters - unfortunately, it's not contagious. If the writers of the series chose to copy sitcoms from the early days of television, they should have at least made them funny. This is just boring, silly and painful to watch.

Quirky, engaging, innovative, clever, entertaining. This had it all. Absolutely loved it, and couldn't wait for the next episode. The central character was fabulous, and played so well. My wife and I recommended it to our friends enthusiastically and without reservation. At last something different and well worth a watch.
And then came series two. OMG, so appallingly bad. So really, really bad. Were these the same writers? Surely not. Either the first ones disappeared, to be replaced by novices, or perhaps they just lost steam and couldn't think where to take it next.
A second series was required, with the first not having answered so many questions, but just a couple of episodes into the second series we didn't care any more. Quirky turned into rediculous, inovative became straw-grasping, and clever became stupid,
My recommendation? Watch and enjoy series one, accept the non ending for what it is, and walk away. Do yourself a favour. Don't spoil it by going anywhere near series two.

Instead of a real plot, the hackneyed script provided at most a minimal excuse for moving from one "spectacular" action scene to another. The first thirty-forty minutes were particularly leaden and devoid of any spark of humor intended or otherwise. There were some "moments" that could have had meaning with more development and a better plot, but without one you were left nothing.
Worse for an action movie, instead of action scenes that made some sense, it had one logical howler after another in them designed to make the task of the heroes more difficult and the actions seem more "spectacular." Action scenes don't have to make perfect sense all the time, but they have to do so enough that they don't intrude on your suspension of disbelief. I didn't expect much except for the great ratings it gets, and I am not in the prime audience, but even my son was gagging at some of the lines and looking longingly at the exit sign too often.

I cant think of a worst way of ending a career with this pathetic movie. The movies is just disturbing, the special effects are so bad that makes you feel bad with Pesci or De Niro en the screen looking 40 years younger. How they move, how they speak, how the face muscles move independdantly form each other and how ugly it looks. And the movie is boring.
But let me tell you this. We had 1 hours and a half of big fun and laughts while wacthing how patethic it is.

...so don't expect a movie you will understand. Beautiful photo, pretty good acting, pointless story.

Few minutes to the movie and you can see that it's directed by Michael Bay. A lot of action and explosions with unusual camera angles. Story isn't that great but it's fun action movie overall.
| 7 |
It's literally annoying in the film how the spirits suddenly show up to scare the girls in the house and suddenly disappear to let them escape is repititive and dragged too much I felt this movie is made only to show different antiques present in Lorraine Warren museum and their actual demonic appearance but the bride dressed woman is interesting and unique overall it's a one time watch for few scares that's it

Story starts well, specially the characters are introduced very well. I loved the american teen life at school at home etc.
I know that horror theme is the thing that moves story on and on. But i personally dont like horror genre.
Cinematography and vfx are awesome.
Steve harrington, robin and dustin are mine favorite.

This film is quite formulaic and has similarities with the The Road and A Quiet Place, however it's different enough to offer a decent couple of hours entertainment, with thrills and suspense.

Movie is good for action but for the logic is the thing missing in every south movie why you are driving instead you can ask other policeman to reach to commissionaire office and save people. No other people vehicle come in way truck way what stupid you are.
| 7 |
Honestly, I didn't have high hopes for this and just hit play on the first episode at random. Wow, I couldn't have been more off the mark.
It nails it in every facet; the production quality it stellar, the writing is tight, the editing and directing feels spot on, and the acting...this group of actors brought this to life in all its dynamic beauty.
You see characters move and take shape ORGANICALLY, which is all too rare. The range these actors manage in EIGHT episodes is something young actors should study.

There are things that annoyed me - mostly Tom Brady/Venom. They tried way too hard with all the comedy nonsense and make him a "hero". Thought end of Venom 1 had established he was no hero but guess they took a step back only to recycle the whole "hero or no hero" thing in this movie. It was wack.
Thought Carnage/Woody Harrison were great. Marvel's Black Canary *shriek* was great too. Until they found some bs way to make them lose lol. But besides that, they were definitely the best part of the movie.
This movie being PG-13 kinda set it back, though I think at least they *tried* not to make it too obvious they didn't want to show blood, since the movie in general was dark and there were still dead bodies all over the place. Unlike Shang-Chi were 2 mini-armies go at each other and someone no one gets so much as a cut.
Finally, with mid-credit scene, Venom is officially part of the MCU. Looking forward to see how that will be handled.
All in all, 7/10 may watch again, which is 1 point higher than I gave Shang-Chi at least.

I love the storyline, character intros, westview and everything about the show and have so many questions waiting to be answered by the next episode

Simply for me its the worst movie of Bong Joon ho. Plot has a multiple and serious goofs and all the screenplay seems to be a pretension for the director/writer to express all of his ideas about injustice and cruelty of modern Korea and of course the world. In order to do that in good cinematic manner, a writer should first write a good screenplay that the plot twists come from the characters and believable situations and then the director visualizes it in his point of view to accomplish his ideas, something we saw in great Ken Loach movie, "I, Daniel Blake".I exampled this movie because it has same theme about injustice. Of course Bong Joon ho is a great writer/director and i love "Memories of Murder","Mother" and "Snowpiercer", but after seeing this movie i was disappointed,as simple as that!

Started mildly funny, had something oddly interesting that made me watch first 45 minut es of this film... Soon it became a mishmash of strange characters, bizzare plots and a lot of lines repeating from word to word (I guess this should be quirky and funny but for me it was just unnecessary). Has some serious problems with rhytm and pace. Soon I was left feeling like someone spiked my drink without me knowing so it all started to be super confusing, nonsensical and repetitive.
Have no idea what Christian Bale tried to achieve but he was just strange in his performance, like he tried to be interesting, relaxed and goofy which gave him extremely hard time...
All in all, I have no idea what this movie is about.

A mundane, cliché story lingered for about 20 minutes, followed by a restless, frustrating narrative that bombarded my brain cells. A pink, melted picture.
The irony was that the movie being recommended for 13+. Hmm, do you mean that adults should watch this movie?
In my opinion, it's a totally overrated movie. It might have been considered a decent film with a 6/10 rating if the year was 1982.
I found myself staring at my friends(I watched this with my friends), wondering what was going on.
If they removed Robbie and Gosling, there would be nothing worth seeing. I don't understand what the writer had in mind when she wrote the script, and I empathize with those who watched this in a theater. Without Gosling and Robbie, the movie is a 2/10.

I have religiously played The Witcher series, especially the 3rd installment of the game. I believe the lore is one of the strongest I have ever experienced and it is so beautifully written. The series lives up to the expectations, notwithstanding a few plot holes or bad acting here and there. However, and I cannot stress this enough

I read a lot of negative reviews of this before I saw it, and although I was fascinated I was also dreading the horrifying torture scenes I'd heard about. But when I did see it myself I found it interesting, although I wish that it had been faster paced. I'd never seen a character quite like Dominika before. She was much more interesting than "Salt" and much more real than "Atomic Blonde". The characters were very memorable and believable and I am glad that I saw the film.

The first season was really good then the show becomes simple and mainstream.....worst than that in the 3rd season we had more chat about teenagers sexuality than anything else.... pathetic what a let down!.

If this review were to be based solely on the CGI, it would be a 10/10.
But unfortunately everything that made the Lion King one of the greatest movies of all time was undermined, tarnished and watered down.
Starting with the music. Simba and Scar's singing voices were dreadful. What makes this especially annoying is that it is in the middle of the most iconic songs from the movie, namely 'Be Prepared' and 'Hakuna Matata'. Be Prepared was especially insidious as they took all the personality and drama out of the song to make it darker. In principle, I've no problem with this as long as its either as good as the original or better. But it wasn't, it was rubbish. As for Simba's singing, it so was flat and out of tune it was painful to listen to.
Secondly, the characters personalities were extracted and replaced with either celebrities. Rafiki is supposed to be a bit like Yoda, wise yet gregarious and playful. But instead, he's quiet, stoic and uninteresting. Scar is supposed to be suave, cunning and quite camp. But instead he's miserable and quite stupid. Nala's Beyoncé voice was distracting, lazy, and didn't make any sense. The hyenas went from being dumb but quite fun to watch to being dark and really irritating. The only one's that were any good were Timone, Pumba, Mufasa and Zazu.
In short, I hope the animators get given awards, but that's it.

"Uri: The Surgical Strike" - A fitting tribute to the Indian Army. Watch a wartime movie after a long time but i must say this one was the best i saw till date. This movie is so real. Vicky Kaushal is brilliant in his performance. Well written & directed by Aditya Dhar. All the characters has done a fantastic job. It had showed the real dedication and spirit of Indian Army. Huge respect for our soldiers who put their life at risk and neutralized the terrorists. Everyone should watch this movie.

Well, the first season was nothing special, it started well but there wasn't much of a plot. Matty was kind of roaming about trying to figure out this or that but nothing really interesting about Hells kitchen's crime world, except the Kingpin who was kind of intimidating, well developed character. I think there was too much of ''man with the mask'' and
''my town'' which reminded of Batman and lets face it when he finally got the costume it was silly looking thing and still is. The 2nd season was different. More brutal, gritty, introduced many new characters, important ones, Electra is cool and hot, The Kingpin scary, the Punisher rocks and Matty .... well he is still boring. after I watched the 1st season I rated it 6 stars, but now I'm watching the 10th episode of the 2nd season it is about to become 8 star show. Next step is Jessica Jones and ha there was a tiny connection between the two.

The world of movies did not begin and end with 'Pulp Fiction' and Quentin Tarentino is not a genius. That aside, and taking this movie as what it is, a penny dreadful on the screen, it does become perversely enjoyable.
There's the cafe where 50s idols serve dinner (Buddy Holly, Marilyn Monroe, Mamie Van Doren, Jayne Mansfield) and where Mia (Uma Thurman) and Vincent (John Travolta, undergoing a renaissance after years out in the cold) dance the twist to Chuck Berry's 'It was a teenage wedding ...'. There's Vincent's hip black partner Jules (a sleek and cool Samuel L Jackson), and the town's big guy - and Mia's husband - Marcellus (Ving Rhames). And then there's Butch, who gets the film in an interesting twist part way through, and he's Bruce Willis, who was everywhere the time this movie got made.
And there's the inept hold-up duo - Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer - as 'Ringo' and 'Honey Bunny', the really chilled Mr Wolf (Harvey Keitel), and a cameo from Tarentino himself as Jimmie. Does all this mean the movie is any good? Well, there's a body in a car without a head, and an o/d to Urge Overkill's 'Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon', and Zed's dead, baby, Zed's dead. It's a comic party with f words. Salivating kids may boggle at this and call it the most influential film ever - it isn't, but it is one of the most referential. 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Jackie Brown' didn't come close, and 'Pulp Fiction' is, for what it's worth. QT's best to date.

I hate to say it, especially in light of the raves, but Batman Begins is a bore. This thing needed a few more rewrites (or at least one by a good writer) before it was set to film. The basic story is very well thought out, the origin of all Batman and all his iconic and psychological paraphernalia, but the dialog is horrible and the visuals lack style. Now I know that director Nolan was trying to set Batman in the "real" world, but does the real world have to look so dull? More importantly, do the people have to all talk like zombified, robotic idiots? Even the fatass morons down I see buying candy bars with food stamps at the Safeway utter more colorful dialog than is offered in this movie. There is a complete lack of any wit, spontaneity, or intelligence in the dialog. The conversational dialog is stiff and--oddly enough for a film striving for realism-- archly cartoonish. And there are more lame, unfunny scene-ending bon mots in this thing than a 1980s Roger Moore James Bond movie. Oh, it's just freakin painful! If they couldn't hire someone who could write decent dialog they should have at least hired a director who knew when to CUT out bad dialog; this would have been much better as a silent film. And on top of that, the thick rubber bat costume STILL looks stupid. It is really jarring to have all this drab, "realistic" set design with a guy in a fake-looking, goofy rubber suit running around in it. This thing makes thin Christian look like a black chipmunk with its ears clipped.
I'm surprising even myself with this, given the high expectations I went into the film with, but I much prefer Tim Burton's Batman to this boring, predictable junk.

Friction arises between the Avengers when one group supports the government's decision to implement a law to control their powers while the other opposes it.

This movie was a cliche "killing characters off one by one" thriller which failed to produce any memorable moments. The acting was admirable, however, the script lacked any proper thrills. A rip-off 'A Quiet Place'.

I am not sure if the creators of Attack on Titan intended the inference to the religious Sheep's Gate: a place where the people society didn't want were abandoned to. However considering the overall quality of this series, I wouldn't put it passed them. Especially as it works perfectly with the story being told.
This is one of the best television series I have ever seen. Not just anime, but of ALL of television. This is now the show I would rate closest to perfection, that I almost was considering giving it a 10.
It's amazing. It has Babylon 5 levels of earlier shown moments in the series becoming focal later on. It - is - AMAZING! (don't forget to watch the OVAs)
There are so many good things to say about this show. Choosing just one example. In season 1 when Eren says he's going to "kill them all", and we as the viewer are full on board with him.... Eren hasn't changed in season 4. He's still the same as in season 1 in his vindication when we were cheering him on to get his revenge.
WE as the viewers changed by that time by being aware of the entire story.
This is must see tv. Top tier.

The outrageous number of 8-10 ratings . I was really hoping to like this, but I managed only 1.5 episodes. Bad writing, bad acting, cheap set design, silly costumes. This had been billed as the next "Game of Thrones." What a disappointment. A serious Netflix failure.
| 1 |
I didn't want to watch this series for a long time. After I finished the "Dark" , I became interested in this series as well. Of course, "Dark" is still the best in my opinion, but I also liked this series too. Mystery, comedy, drama, horror and 80's. The perfect combination. The acting is almost perfect.
| 8 |
The best to offer from Netflix the crime thriller has everything from guns to girls . NAWAZUDDIN SIDDIQUE is in top form and SAIF ALI KHAN balances is role pretty well. should be on your binge list and is very much enjoyable.

The Super-heroics take a backseat to the nauseating romance between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson who is once again, unfortunately, played by the extremely plain looking Kirsten Dunst.
Parker goes from being nerd to superhero to super heroic nerd. Despite having amazing reactions and agility is he suddenly clumsy - because of emotional stress! Parker is so utterly pathetic that it's hard to feel any sympathy or empathy with him. I want my super-heroes to be super not dysfunctional.
Spider-Man's battles with Dr Octopus and the performances of Maguire and Molina are the movies saving grace.

Ah, Stranger Things. How is it so damn good? There are so many ways in which this show could've gone wrong, but somehow it just keeps on delivering. It's a gigantic homage to the cultural mileu of the 80's, made with a huge amount of genuine affection for the period and everything that came with it, but others have tried and failed when the love just wasn't enough. Think John Carter, for example. I happen to quite like it, but it's certainly flawed, despite the fanboy enthusiasm of its director. The amusingly named Duffer Brothers have tapped effortlessly into the zeitgeist of what it meant to be a teenager in the 80's. The music, the clothes, the entertainment, and more pop culture references woven into the fabric of the plot than you can shake a stick at. It could (perhaps ought) to have fallen flat on its face, but I find it impossible to fault.
The cast are great, from young to adult. I don't know where Winona Ryder has been, but her performance in this as a distraught mother driven to the edge of sanity reminds me what we've been missing from her for too long. Millie Bobby Brown has used her role in ST to propel herself to pretty much global stardom at a very young age. She is so good, she could probably carry the show on her own if she had to.
Some people might say the plot is massively derivative of so many films and perhaps a few TV shows from the period, and of course it is - that's the whole point. It wouldn't be much of an homage to the 80's if it wasn't. It's the carefully considered blending of those elements into a vaguely cohesive whole which is critical to its success. So really I suppose what they have done is transport us back to a certain kind of American 80's, with specific antennae for the things that interested them, and if you're not on board I suppose you might not really recognize it as your 80's at all. But hey, it's certainly familiar to me, despite the fact I'm not American, and I like it A LOT!
Oh, and by the way, it does not lose the plot and become all 'woke' and whatever after season 1. What a load of ordure. If you're invested in the characters, rather than just skimming along the surface with the basic storyline, I fail to see why you would lose interest along the way.

Repost of my Amazon.com "Inception" review for IMDb:
While this film has many great aspects to it: The acting, special effects and a compelling topic; I couldn't help but feel overall disappointed with this film.
Despite the abundant action packed sequences, "Inception" left me bored. This is most likely due to the fact that the movie is close to nothing but 3 hours of fending off enemies that are nothing but nameless faceless "white blood cells" defending the subconscious. It just felt like it dragged on forever. That along with the fact that I felt zero attachment to the characters in the movie and an overly ridged dreamscapes made this film feel horridly sterile. Not to mention, the film felt very jumpy. As in it jumps from scene to scene to scene every few minutes. In fact, the film may have been trying to pull off a feat so grand, that it leaves you thinking its all just a big jumbled mess not worth the frustration of following. I can deal with a complex film, but I feel that the jumping around to all the scenes occurring simultaneously made the film lose focus. In other words, I watched the movie play out, but it did not pull me into it. I was a detached viewer, no emotional involvement whatsoever. On top of that, the film was honestly very predictable and had very little in the revelation department. You could always see the tracks before the train went over them so to speak. One aspect of the movie that just completely dumbfounded me was that the film managed to be both imaginative, yet uncreative at the same time. There is so much potential for creativity in a movie about dreaming, but this film decided to make the dreams seem more like virtual reality then actual dreams.
However, the biggest disappointed of this movie is the fact that everyone claimed it was an intelligent thinking mans film. This film has not exercised one bit of critical thinking in my mind. It feels overly superficial and hardly a film that can spark deep philosophical debate. After watching "Inception" it did not have me contemplating the big questions in life one bit. When it ended, it ended, and that was that.
In the end, "Inception" is not an intellectual deep thinking exercise, it is an average action film masquerading as one.
Addendum: The fact that this film has reached such a high ranking here on IMDb I think proves my fears about modern society. We are becoming overall less and less capable of creative and critical thought. "Inception" leaves absolutely nothing up to the imagination. It is complex, anally neat and almost mathematically in precision. Society these days seems to like everything spoon fed to them. In other words, as long as it doesn't require too much independent thinking and contemplation, it's a candidate for best movie ever. Don't get me wrong, "Inception" is a fine action film that is smoothly and methodically executed, but if your like me and require something with deeper meaning, emotional involvement and room to have thoughts of your own, "Inception" will leave you disappointed.

I mean come in here, I felt asleep episode 2! Where is the trilled? Where is the politics? Who wrote this? Let's not even start with the boring text and the non charismatic casts...there is absolutely no excitement to watch this and if any true fans of GOT watches this will laugh and turn on the new lord of the rings of power.

Brief parts were interesting and exciting but frankly most of it was predictable and cringe-worthy. It was better then Infinity War but that was terrible so nothing to be proud of. Only one real good part and that was about 10 seconds long in a 3 hour movie, goes on for too long at the end with nothing happening
| 3 |
Quality is very bad for such a big project. Looong, loongg, extremely long unless talks and dialogs just for timing. You can early skip every other episode if you want. All characters are clumsy without clear motivation. I have no idea even what do say all cliche nothing interesting. There are 100s of better animes there, but for some reason this one got all the hype.

If the male lead hasn't got on your nerves after 15 mins then this film may be for you. It wasn't for me. Tripe.

The acting is great, but there's no character development in my view. In the pilot of GOT (the first of which had to be thrown in the trash and done from scratch, costing the team a fortune). STARTED with mystery, The individial character's morality, affinity or even duplicity was masterfully fleshed out. The settings FELT real, as well.
HOTD is the plar oposite. The large crowds (not really that large vs what GOT had) sounded like 30 people in a sound stage. The sound in general completely lacked in richness. There's no character development to be found either. I felt no empathy for any of the characters (the queen was one exception). The king completely lacked spine for someone who supposedly was a good man. He let his wife be butchered without even giving her a choice of what to do with the birth.
The bad guy lacked any intrigue and his character was obviusly a bad guy from the second he appeared. He was a cut & paste, black and white villian. Good actor, cheap character. As others have mentioned, the costumes were just bad. The dragons didn't look nearly as good as the ones in GOT! They didn't even look like they were really flying unlike the astoundingly well-done ones in GOT.
I hope they get much better writers (not to mention a better director) .like GOT did BEFORE it even aired. This show was a mistake.as It just wasn't READY to be released. It's just not polished at all. They also need their own Peter Dinklage SO BADLY to carry the story! LOL. None of the characters felt authentic though I do give credit to the actors themselves.

Was really hoping this would be good because of the way it started but as the film went on i got more confused with the story (if there was one). Cgi is good but goes way overboard. The worst thing tho is the editing.. it is terrible. Mistakes all over the place.

According to IMDB millennials believe that this sci-fi film is better that Close Encounters and the original Star Wars and ET. Sorry, I disagree. This is a good sci-fi film; but it really isn't in the same league as those blockbuster sci-fi films. Millennials believe something before the year 2000 must be inferior to anything after 2000, or, at least, that is the perception that IMDB gives with their polls. It might behoove IMDB to correctly identify their polls as MILLENNIAL polls, and not polls for people over 30.
Maybe a having separate polls for adults might be a good idea in addition to the children's or millennial poll. This movie is intriguing, but there are a few dull spots. After a slow start, the film picks up steam when the trip is actually begun, and the new planet is explored. A decent entry into the sci-fi field, but not a top 250 film of all time, and not even remotely a top 30 film of all time as it is currently rated by IMDB.

Many will hate me for this, but that's how I see it. Although at first glance when looking at the first 2 chapters (and some that come later) it seems that it will be interesting and that it has a lot of lore saved for later, the truth is that it does not exploit it at any time. When these important scenes are over, the worst of the worst begins. The series basically boils down to a serious scene, a battle scene, and then 3 or 4 filler chapters. Yes, I understand that the characters do not have their powers and more, but it is that these chapters in between have an extremely generic and repetitive humor (removing certain exceptions that do give some grace), and some of the most filler things i have ever seen, and it is that in the end it simply feels that they put these action chapters very by force, if it weren't for these specific chapters I wouldn't realize that I'm watching an anime that is about demons and that kind of thing. And the series "ends" very openly, with a lot of unresolved doubts. Yes, I know they are going to do a second season, but that is not an excuse for all the other flaws. For the moment, this will be the score that it will have until it improves with time (if im not very lazy to watch it again...).

The problem I had with the show ,the two episodes I watched anyway, was the characters. They were all annoying and unlikeable.
| 1 |
While there were definitely some funny parts, they were too few to outweigh the other annoyingly cheesy jokes thrown around. The actors seemed a bit on the older side but the overall movie did not appear to be an "adult movie". I feel that it tried to find a balance for kids and adults but in the end fell short for both. Some bits were too long for my taste and the plot seemed to go back and forth too much between the Barbie and the real world. I did not have high expectations but what did help me watch through the movie were the strong messages for our generation that were heartfelt and genuine.
| 1 |
a bit of a show off and a lot of fuzz..for a more than predictable movie...Jesse Eisenberg is not convincing, Woody Harrelson reveals more than ever is "stiffness" as an actor, Mark Ruffalo is too soft for the thing and neither Isla Fisher is adding any value to the group. In between the four there's not enough magic to make it worth...there's no spark in it. there's lot of "deja vu" (my favorite word for it) that not even Michael Caine manages to fix. after watching it the feeling is comparable to give a bath to our "caniche"..when the fur gets water the real skinny dog appears...and its a lot smaller and not really as special as it looked before:)

I was instructed that I need to enter in at least four lines for my vote/comment to count. So, I believe one word sums up Pulp Fiction: OVERRATED. It's not that it's a bad movie, it's just that everyone needs to wake up and realize there are a ton of movies better than this one.

I'm really not so much into comic books and superheroes and all that, but this movie feels like I'm reading an actual comic book. They way it's edited and acted, the lines and everything. Not my style of movie making even for a comic book inspired movie,but it's great, fan will definitely love it. Fun, kinda exciting and overall good watch.

I really enjoy this show show far. Interesting premise that seems to slowly build with each episode. There are some plot issues and some basic common sense blunders but sometimes I just like not to think too deeply and just enjoy the show. My only real complaint however is, my god what is the deal with the lead actress?!? I realize that she does have some connections to the director where she has been in a few of his previous projects but she is just not a solid lead actress. She is so one demential, like unbelievable so. I think if their was a stronger lead this show might carry more weight with people. However, I will continue to watch and see how things play out.

I am proud to have a fellow Romanian in the States that represents us, our language and values. I am also super happy that I had seen Chadwick Boseman in this movie, because he was a very good actor. I feel shocked that he died so young.

This movie is way to be good to be labelled a sequel to The Godfather . Rather it is more of a companion piece to the original

'The Fault in our Stars' ...eh.
It's a Cancer film, expect to get sad as the stereotypical boy next door helps lonely girl come out of her shell.
For me it was just far too overwrought with the love story angle, I think it was the amount of 'lovey dovey' speeches they made, when there was a lot more room for displaying the love rather than pausing for a whole page monologue about it. Ithich made the pacing of the story a bit choppy and too "Shakespeare in the Park" feeling.
The performances from the cast were just OK. Shalene Woodley definitely stood out however. They certainly would've shone even brighter with better source material.
Wait for this to come on Cable.

Now we know what to do when we do not have a story but a bunch of bucks to make a movie: simply throw in some action, get Hans Zimmer in and make a whole lot of marketing efforts to get all of us dummies in summertime in the theaters and here you have Inception. What simply gets enormously annoying in the movie: every time you have the impression that the storyline is in a "dream", it seems that is a dream within a dream, and than that dream within the dream is in a dream...come on...!! Leanordo Di Caprio is splendid as always, the female co-actors are too dull for words. 2 stars for the action elements, 2 stars for Hans Zimmer and 1 for the effort,but no more, no more!

I can enjoy a vulgar movie. I can enjoy an immature movie. I can enjoy a movie full of profanity. The bottom line is that this movie is downright terrible. TERRIBLE!! The cinematography and sound are good, but other than that, I can't find anything good to say about this movie. It wasn't funny at all. The actors delivered completely lackluster performances. This story had so much potential for laughs and it was squandered.
I honestly believe that the reviews and ratings of this movie have to be tampered with because there is no way this movie could score that high otherwise. It is simply the worst movie ever. With great difficulty I slogged through this movie because it was so highly rated that I was expecting something amazing to happen in the end. I was sorrowfully disappointed. I am thankful I didn't pay to see this thing or I would be angry.

There are too many reviews on this film that either hate it or love it. I don't agree with either.
Direction and Cinematography: Very good.
Music and sound effects: Very good.
Story and plot: Good, suspenseful but with flaws. This type of film could have gone for 100% realistic and strive for perfection, rather than try and be 50% realistic and 50% Hollywood-fun-but-fake, so as to try to allure audiences from both sides.
Acting: I have to say mediocre. I can't but compare Sandra Bullock to Sigourney Weaver in Alien. A strong female battles for survival. Well let's just say I wish this film was made back in the 80's.To be fair Bullock is very good in the movement part of her role.
P.S. No way is this the best film made in space Mr Cameron!

Not a fantasy, but fantastic. Not about War, but you feel War. Not Action, but you feel it all the time. This Perfect TV series about catastrophe and survival that took place in USSR. Country that was so proud and pretended to be so powerful building Communism, that it couldn't accept any help from abroad.

He who remains character was a poor choice in my view, just skipped his dialogues as its very difficult how he portrayed the character at its worse. Tom hiddleston as always best in his character.

I started watching because of all the ads and good reviews/coments about the show, and I really enjoyed the first three episodes. As someone who isn't the biggest fan of Marvel, seeing all those assholes super heros was amazing, at the begining. When you're not that impressed anymore by the universe, you focuse on other points of the show, and well... The so called "great acting" is really poor , butcher and of course the amazing homelander (Frenchie is one of the worst characters I've seen on TV). The dialogues are average as well as the story, and the shots are pretty basic. And don't expect to have any kind of connection or attachement to the characters when you can't take any of their arcs seriously. Sure, the show isn't serious, but then why do you try to make us feel it is in those flashbacks and relationships ? Maybe I expected something darker, idk, but it just doesn't give me the desire to watch the next season
| 8 |
The first two episodes are funny, a little dull with a couple of interesting scenes. The 3rd one picks up speed and the 4th one will keep you wanting more!!! Keep watching! I promise you won't regret it!!

Average. It could be a really good series. But the producers and the script writers chose the easy road. Same old type of story, parker posey role is just cringe. You can guess 20 min earlier what is her next move, or plot. Nothing new nothing appealing.
Its a shame. I wonder who is approving all this netflix million dollar budget series lol. Someone needs to be fired.
