Farah Khan is a genius!!! That's the only way to describe the incredible job she has done with her debut film. One expects this kind of a film from a pro who's been at it for a great many years. But from the first frame to the last, she has held it together better than most pros can. Main Hoon Na is a great example of what a great director can accomplish. Farah Khan deserve many awards and accolades for this film. Nothing seems out of place, everything is perfect. The Chemistry between Shahrukh Khan and Sushmita Sen is electric, it's a wonder that no one ever thought of pairing these two earlier. But I'm sure now we'll see a lot of them together.
The Dialogues (Abbas Tyrewala of Munna Bhai MBBS fame) are excellent throughout the film. If Munna Bhai was the funniest film of last year, then MHN will give any comedy a run for its money this year. The Cinematography and Choreography is eye-catching and beautiful. The songs are perfectly placed through out the film.
The Performance: Shahrukh Khan has given one of his best performance so far (and that too with a bad back). He's the undisputed King Khan. If there is anyone who stands out more than SRK its Amrita Rao and Sushmita Sen. These girls are just incredible, Amrita Rao will take your breath away. She's by far the best newcomer in recent years and sure to be a Superstar. Sushmita Sen has never been so good, her performance as well as her look is quite extraordinary and fresh. Zayed Khan has played his character to the T, he will be well like by all.
Boman Irani and Bindu are excellent in their performances. Bindu's performance is up to par with her performance in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. Boman Irani shows how talented he really is, in an unforgettable role. Satish Shah will shower you with great comedic moments. He's excellent. Kiron Kher does full justice to her performance. Suniel Shetty as you have never seen before and Naseeruddin Shah in a memorable role.
Overall, MHN is an extremely well made film with excellent performance. I have bought the 2 Disc special edition of the film and its loaded with bonus feature. A must have for all film lovers. Up and coming directors can learn a thing or two from Miss Farah Khan.

Money, money, money, Disney is all that matters to you and the me-too movement, I'm canceling my subscription, you keep me making men seem Dumb and Dumber in every movie and it's an outrage... you have destroyed Star Wars and now the mcu,, Loki was a great character and evil character and a intelligent character, and now you have dumbed him down just like you have dumbed down every male character in your movies and TV shows, I'm out... quit trying to make intelligent people dumb..., What's Next Iron Man can't figure the toaster out? Maybe Thor doing balloon animals that have baby shower?

I asked my friends if they had suggestions for musicals similar to Moulin Rouge or Phantom of the Opera, one suggested this, this is not that.
The songs are all this airy, 2010's pop and the voices and music are just so bizarrely out of place from the rest of the movie. Usually musicals have songs that blend into the rest of the movie. This is like you're watching a period piece and then it randomly changes channels to a Grammy's performance for a few minutes.

From a filmmaking perspective, Spider-Man 2 is similar to its predecessor. The cast, Danny Elfman, and Sam Raimi all continue their great work in the series. However, Spider-Man 2 upgrades some key aspects. First, Raimi expresses more freedom due to his previous success as he increases his style here. Overall, the imagery is moderately better with more motion, creative shots, and dramatic sequences. This is exemplified by the scene where Doc Ock wreaks havoc on the hospital staff. That segment is reminiscent of Evil Dead and genuinely fun.
Still, the most significant improvement is the script. Spider-Man 2 is brilliant because it's really a Peter Parker story. Much more time is spent with Toby Maguire than with his mask, making the movie very intimate. For the entire film, the protagonist struggles to live his dual life and loses himself to his secret identity. Real themes of responsibility and self-care are explored, pushing this beyond flashy entertainment. Furthermore, Maguire nails his conflicted character in a way that's rare for superhero movies. Fundamentally, Spider-Man 2 is special because it works as a drama first and the fantasy elements support that. Once again, this franchise sets the standard that echoes today.
Writing: 8/10 Direction: 9/10 Cinematography: 9/10 Acting: 9/10 Editing: 9/10 Sound: 9/10 Score/Soundtrack: 9/10 Production Design: 8/10 Casting: 9/10 Effects: 8/10

I remember watching the first season with my wife. We were spending the night at a relatives and he asked, have you ever seen "stranger things"? I told him we've never heard of it. He put it on, planning on watching an episode or two. We binged watched the whole season that night. It sucked us in. What was the monster? A demon? Was it the little girl? What's up w will? Totally sucked us in. Season two was good but not as great. Season three was a little far fetched, unbelievable, off track I guess. From the trailer it looks like it's totally gone off the rails, in a bad way. It looks like a spy movie now or something. It's definitely lost that "unsolved mysteries" feel, big time. And that's what sucked me in. It's not dark and gloomy, monsters and d&d. It's russia. It's bright (not dark). And the kids sorta annoy me now. We'll see. It'd be a shame if it just got worse and worse. It WAS such an awesome show. We'll see.....

A horrible, nonsense and nonsensical movie with near zero and sub zero everything, refrigerating and freezing viewers minds with utter trash mumbo jumbo and that is a disgrace to the mumbo jumbo expression and meaning.
How it managed to win so many "fields" in the Oscars is just mind numbing, completely baffling and in my opinion just showing corrosion and downgrade, year by year of what once was a hallmark of standard, quality, deep thinking and marvelousness in the motion pictures (industry).
Though i very much like Korean productions, but this one is just good for a stoned pastime played at 1.8x lightning speed.

This movie clearly intended for day time TV soap opera fan because it's filled with obnoxious and wrongly placed music, overly used dialogue, lame writing, weak character development, lame and unnecessary sex scene and CGI that only show off how fake everything is. Terrible movie overall. I only stay until the end of movie because of my respect to Hardy.

Unless you want to be "shocked" by Selena Gomez dropping f-bombs every other sentence. Two episodes was as much time as I will waste.

Agatha is my favourite character on this show and what Wanda did to her was just unforgivable. #freeagatha. Wanda is the true criminal. Until Agatha is freed, no rating more than 5 for Wandavision!

Even though it has several action sequences, it's a comedy at heart and itdoesn't take itself very seriously, making it very enjoyable and fun to watch. Do not expect a masterful plot, this is a light-hearted action comedy.
Mackie's comedy chops were a pleasent surprise, specially considering I do not like his drama work. I found his latest work (Altered Carbon, Black Mirror, Captain America) flat and unispired, specially considering that in two out of those 3 he replaced someone else who was doing a much better job.
Stephanie Beatriz is an extremely underrated actress who can do Drama and Comedy flawlessy (as seen in Brooklyn 99), even switching from one to the other within one scene and complety nailing it.
My favorite two characters were Stu and Sweet Tooth, but it's the latter that steals the show. The best part is that he looks like a psycho brick house but has Will Arnett's comedy chops, which is a killer combo. Every time he's on screen he just wins.
The plot is simple and effective. Comedy is great, action sequences are truly fantastic and so much fun to watch. Also the 30 min episode duration makes it a fun ride that doesn't drag too long.

You can't reproduce the 80ies, can't reproduce that feeling.
Oh ... wait.
You really can.
See - "Stranger Things" season 1.
It works.
But with a mediocre script, this feels like a wannabe-show, to see known characters, but nothing more new.
It tastes like Coke Zero - it looks like Coke, in some way it tastes like Coke, but more like a memory of what means to taste an ice-cold coke from a tin can.
In the summer.
"Top Gun" is one of those movies you never needed a 2nd part.
It was a piece of the 80ies, including the phenomenal soundtrack. You can't copy that, especially not decades away from the original.
There are SO many really really great stories to tell - why to try to revive what is already gone?!
WHY?!

Awesome contrast to the myriad of superhero stories out there today.

Based on the actors who are in this, and whom directed the film...I couldn't believe how big of a snooze fest this film was. A few people actually got up & left the theatre. After the movie was over we overheard a group discussing how horrible the film was & wanted their money back. I couldn't agree more! Dragging on, falling asleep- boring movie. How are people rating this 10/10?!? Because of the last 15-20 minutes? Terrible. Horrible. Time wasted.

Dear Cast and Crew of Tere Bin Laden, Oh where do I start???Loved loved loved it. Noora aka Fake Osama (Pradhuman Singh)was OUTSTANDING so is Ali Zafar. The comic timing and the acting was great not only these two actors but by the other supporting cast as well. All the actors did a wonderful job. The movie was well scripted with great punch lines and side kicks.
Nikhil Ratnaparkhi as Gul was super funny. We have already watched Chirag Vohra aka Lateef in Munnabhai and Mentos ads; he was hilarious as a supporting character.Sugandha Garg as Zoya was a surprise package and this movie really helped her to bring out her acting skills; Same for Rahul Sing as Quereshi, we have seen him in many movies (one of them is Kyun ho Gaya Na) but his roles were too short to notice...this movie truly gave opportunity to these efficient actors to show their acting skills to the audience.
The positive side of the movie is that its really well integrated, straight and simple fun. The actors even in the most trivial roles have given their best and that has resulted in the outcome of this movie. Brilliant movie overall. I cant find any flaw in it really. Perfect to sit back on our couch, get a good dose of laughter and enjoy the evening. A 10 for this movie. Good Job Actors and Director of Tere Bin Laden. We need more GOOD comedy flicks like this one.Eagerly waiting for a new one.
Thanks and Best Wishes Satisfied Happy Audience.

No one will ever deny that Robert DeNero is a brilliant actor, but casting a 76 year old man to play a man in his 40s for over three hours just didn't work. No amount of face makeup could put a youthful spring back into his step.

The Dark Knight Rises fails to capture the magic of its predecessors. While it was understandable to suspend disbelief for the Joker's antic because of his volatility, the same doesn't hold true for a cold and calculated Bane. This time the nihilistic philosophical lessons come off as pretentious and worn out. Even the repeated formula of action sequences pale in comparison to the first two films. What's left is a hastily done wrap-up of a film with zero character development for the supporting cast and a shallow narrative painted over a faux black.

I expected nothing good out of this movie but it ended up being better than expected. It honestly didn't feel like they got woke it more seems like they made fun of both sides of the coin. Ryan Gosling was ironic and made a relatable Ken. I love the humor of the narrator when she roasted Margot Robbie. Overall it was a surprisingly well developed plot with cringe but comedic humor that actually is memorable.
This movie isn't for everyone but it does have elements in it that can attract more people to watch it then most people think. And gotta love the memes that instantly came out about "when you watch the Oppenheimer and then go to watch Barbie right after". This movie was a culture shock in a good way, according to the trendy memes right after the release.

Loved Avatar but with this one.... From moment one I felt like I was watching some kind of cartoon! Is this the new CGI or something? Either way its ugly! Same like that new GoT series, most expensive serie but it looks so much worse than the old GoT. Avatar is the same! At one point they even cartoonized humans in some scenes, a green screen was too much work or so?
I dont know if I can even finish this movie..... Went into it with an open mind, didnt heard much about it except it was good. And since Avatar 1 was so good this must be good then too.... Well its not. Even the story doesnt get me yet.... Like another reviewer wrote, dialogs are written by a child. Probably he is right lol.
Edit: To be sure I started the first Avatar today..... Yeah now Im sure about my review above and even lowered my rating! Avatar 1 is a movie, Avatar 2 is a cartoon!

I gave it a 4 just because of the Illuminati other than that the movie was crap. Felt like Dr. Strange was a side character in his own movie. That Latina girl was useless especially leave to Disney to shove another character down our throat to prove to another community it was just as bad as eternals. This is a one and done for me just like eternals terrible movies. I was so relieved when the movie ended literally felt like the movie was thrown together last second. Disney needs to really stop with the statements of LGTVHD and make a movie that's actually good. No Way Home is the only great movie since Endgame.

I usually don't write reviews but after watching this film, I couldn't resist myself from writing one.
The premise of the film is not new. A lonely person, who is boring, doesn't have any joy in his life, unhappy and very serious (due to some past trauma) finds a stray dog who changes his life. The story may seem simple and predictable but the way it is executed is amazing. Not only the story speaks about the loneliness of introvert people but also showers light on topics light illegal animal cross breeding and brutality.
The acting performances of the cast are amazing and believable. The dog stand outs in the film. Not only the dog "Charlie" shows perfect emotions but also makes you believe that she is can perfectly understand the emotions.
Finally, I would say this is a must watch film. One of the most amazing film i have ever seen and i am very proud that a film of such calibre is being made in India.

I don't know when, but for me, Netflix started streaming Avatar and I was like my childhood, It calls to me. As I mentioned I'm sitting here alone in my apartment in quarantine rewatching my favorite show from when I was in middle school. 14 years later and as an adult I'm sitting here crying because of all the emotion that's portrayed in every episode. It's just so real. It might be the massive amounts of alcohol that I'm consuming on my own but I swear, this show is so heartfelt and raw. Practically every episode tackles loss, friendship, bravery and humility all tied in with some friendly humor. The show holds up so well. 10/10 would recommend even without the wine.

Not what I expected it to be but still worth watching

It feels more like watching an episode in a TV show than a movie.
It's fine, but doesn't do anything original or exciting. I wanted to see more interesting multiverses explored or fun concepts or anything new.

Good movie, it was funny, it was sad, it also did a good job ...for the MOST part to be historically accurate - 10-11 year olds were not asked to fight in the "Battle of Berlin", age 14 and up yes, but not little kids.
The Hitler Youth was also not done right at all, they were basically the Boy Scouts of Germany, not taught to be desensitized to war -Germany was actually one of the most civilized nations on Earth (historians still question how this all was able to happen in at that time, a VERY sophisticated Liberal nation), and while the Nazi party was pretty radical, the typical German/German boy was just like anyone else.
That's a minor gripe though because I get that this was a comedy, and they did an excellent job showing the humanity even among those like the Captain. (when he covers for Elsa)
I was very surprised to see overall how accurate the uniforms were, and how at the end they showed the elderly being shown how to defend the city, as this happened. They also showed a brief sense of the brutality of the Soviets - who raped an estimated 2.5 million German women, and murdered millions of people after the war had ended. I'm fully aware Germany did horrible things on the Eastern front, but this film is specifically about Germans.
The Gestapo was done, while for comic effect - well. Even the German military and to an extent even the SS feared them. No, they didn't have to "Heil Hitler" like that, lol it was done for comedic effect.
The acting was AMAZING, was never a fan of Scarlett but she was great. Elsa, and JoJo were both awesome as well. Though some accents were very off, such as JoJos adorable friend having an English accent lol. Oh, and Rebel Wilson can be funny! WHO KNEW!!! But I felt the H.Y Captain stole the show!!!
I may seem like I came at this from the wrong POV. But I actually found it to be really great!

What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said. It's one of the finest superhero movies ever made, it really made me feel satisfied and really blew me away on just how sharply shot the action was in this movie. It's at this point in time where the action directing in the MCU franchise really started to rise up dramatically and the action scenes in this movie are shot with clarity and prescision. The Winter Soldier is a great villan and really was the best villan in the MCU at that point. His design is slick and very modern looking and looks intimidating aswell which is exactly what you want from a superhero villan.
Chris Evans as Steve Rodgers is also great in the movie as his character has grown stronger and is now living comfortably in 2010s America. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury is back aswell and is awesome as always. The story has upped it's game and has become more emotional with some truly heart wrenching scenes aswell as some really good tension aswell when the characters clash against one another
Overall a crisp, thrilling and just plain fun MCU movie with the best shot action at the time for a Marvel movie. It was my favourite Action movie of 2014 and my personal favourite in the Captain America MCU trilogy

I can understand why you want the Marvel series continue during Corona. This was there safest bet i believe. But it does not work for the movie fans.

I enjoy historical film, I enjoy war films, I enjoy visually striking films, I enjoy Christopher Nolan films ... but in spite of being all these things "Dunkirk" left me unimpressed.
The lack of continuity in the weather/sea conditions was excruciating. The dialogue (such as it was) was clumsy & cliched, the characters (such as they were) were undeveloped & the plot structure was clunky. Some nice action sequences & beautiful cinematography, but a hollow emotional core with an old-fashioned, but unconvincing, overlay of patriotic sentiment.

I managed to hold out only about 20 minutes watching the first episode. The confusing lack of good story telling combined with quite dark photography convinced me quickly that I was wasting my time. This fantasy was reputed to be HBO's answer to the Netflix Lord of the Rings offering. There is no comparison, as Dragon fails miserably to even stand on its own. I think it attempted to be of the same genre as the acclaimed Game of Thrones, also highly overrated.
Compare this with 2010's 'Pillars of the Earth' and 'The Work of Angels' to see how a mediaeval period films should look and satisfy the viewer.

It's true, any other movie would've been better.
I was really looking forward to seeing Barbie! Thought it would be more fun & bring back a lot of childhood memories. I was expecting a light and airy movie.
However, the message was disappointing to me. I also found myself looking at the time hoping it would be over soon. They preached that this movie was for "everyone" & am so thankful that there weren't any children in the theater when I saw it because I do not think it was appropriate for younger aged kiddos.
Will still always love Barbie & Margot Robbie just wish this would've been better!

I was surprised by the very high ratings this film has in IMDb. Movie critics generally rated this sky high as well. The matter is, this movie has some fine action scenes (though far from the best you will see in a movie theater) but it is also ridiculously and relentlessly serious. Maybe this has to do with me growing up with the campy Adam West TV series, but, come on, how can a movie be so somber, solemn and humorless when, at the end of the day, the story is about a guy wearing a bat suit. The performances are so so; Bale and Eckhart are OK, Caine and Oldman are underused, Gyllenhaal fails to make an impression. As the psychotic Joker, the late Heath Ledger is genuinely scary, though the constant facial tics makes one wonder if he wasn't under the influence of illegal substances when he was performing (Ledger died of a drug overdose). And a lot of the plot just doesn't make sense (how the Oldman character was able to save his life, what happened with Eckhart and the Joker in the hospital, how the Joker is able to plot so many things all alone, almost always being one step ahead of the police). While I would recommend this, I just can't call it a masterpiece.

I usually don't make it through a late show without falling asleep at least once. This film however had me on the edge of my seat. It was slightly surreal yet also extremely realistic with some of the special effects the most horridly real I ever saw. I thought the film was witty and very funny. The characters are interesting and I really enjoyed the script that has some great lines in it. The premise that history repeats itself is very relevant, especially today. Actors performed very well, and it was nice to see a mixed cast. However, the women were all extremely beautiful and skinny. There could have been more variety there to make things a bit more real and less boring. But apart from that; splendid!

Barbie is a beautiful, funny, relatable movie that I enjoyed very much. Margot Robbie, who plays Barbie, and Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken did such an amazing job. They really do have great chemistry together. The other actors and actresses were perfect! The set and the costume design were amazing and the Barbie World is accurate which I love. The dialogue is really funny and the musical numbers are just pure perfection. Absolutely adored Barbie. I did go to theaters to watch this movie and to my surprise, I saw a lot of young kids watching it. There was a lot of adult topics, such as sexism and problems women face in society, and the patriarchy and the matriarchy, and slightly inappropriate jokes that were put into the movie which I don't think kids should be watching. It seems like it's marketed towards young children when really, teenagers and adults are really the audience it was intended for. This was only a slight problem, and other than that, I think this movie was a masterpiece and definitely makes a great movie night. It was emotional but hilarious and relatable and Barbie won't disappoint.

It made me fall asleep twice after seeing it twice. It was all over the place. It's Marvel trying to make every film a comical genius and ends up with mixed salad gone rotten
The writing at the core needs a rework. Nothing flows well. It's like a mixed bag of junk into 3 wasted hours!!
Some comedy is fine but it's relentless I give up on this type of film making for quick cash grab and bad story telling.
I would not bother seeing another Marvel show after seeing what has become a great franchise. It's obliterated into oblivion.
Why do I need 600 words is beyond me on a film that's not worth seeing.

I was so skeptical about this show at first, but now it's one of my favorites of this year. It has a clear personality, with colorful characters and tense plots that keep you guessing where it will go next. In my eyes, this has the potential to be one of the better shows I've seen. If you're tired of the MCU nonsense, this is the superhero fix you've been wanting all along.

Tried to fill to many boxes and got nothing out of it. The script was terrible, the vfx were lousy and not cared at all, the "horror twist" it wanted failed miserably. Giving it 4 because Benedict and Elizabeth managed to still be good at acting even with all the non-sense.

I have never been more tempted to walk out of a movie before. Literally nothing happened for the first two hours! There was no plot and it was mostly lots of fragmented scenes put together. Load of self indulgent crap! People did walk out the theatre. Huge waste of time and a disappointment as I am usually a great fan of Tarantino's work. I will say the acting and cinematography was good but that alone can't carry a film for nearly three hours. Needs more substance!

It has been clearly established that she knows nothing of personal upkeep. Yet the break between scenes has her going from gardener boy, to debutante. Also the "Zack Morris" in and out of the forth wall is inconsistent. Overall bad, but watchable for the support cast.

There are two things that make this show good: Jenna Ortega's acting and the relationship between Enid and Wednesday.
The mystery isn't too compelling, the parents are meh, sorry but the love interests or whatever you wanna call them were wet blankets. Their acting wasn't bad but there was no substance in the writing of the "love triangle" and no chemistry whatsoever. Why do both boys look and behave alike, i had a hard time telling them apart. Loved the headmistress and Gwendolyn Christie is brilliant. I wouldn't have gone where they went with her though. The effects in the show were pretty neat. And hey, the lesbian moms actually got lines and weren't just gimmicks. May I ask why only the intentionally unlikable characters are portrayed by black actors? Gave it 6 stars since i finished the show.

A Contrived, manipulative, unjustified reveal spoiled the final episode. Too bad. All that great Kate Winslet acting wasted..

I don't care much for the story of Homi Adajania's Cocktail (written by Imtiaz Ali) but I have to admit that it is probably the best looking Hindi film I have ever seen. Cocktail is about the moments which really strike you. It is about the journey and not the destination. The performances are all fantastic, the visualisation is superb, the music is immensely listenable and if at all, the only drawback is the length. . . it could have been ten minutes shorter.
With his first film Being Cyrus, Homi Adajania rocked it with critical acclaim and this time around with Cocktail, he has rocked it with a blockbuster gaining commercial success. Let's hope this maverick director gives us a marriage of the two with his next venture coz we know he can!

Need little patience to watch. Season 2 is fantastic compared to season one. It's absolutely not a masterpiece - predictable slow funny, weird romantic. Watch with Patience, and you will love it, I promise.

Can't believe this hasn't been put out of its misery yet. The format has gotten stale and it relies on over the top stunts and Tom cruise (dwindling) star power to churn out more movies that like a poor mans Bond movie.
Ving Rhames looks like a tired Baluga whale who doesn't contribute to the story as the Simon Pegg (everymans comic side kick Q wannabe) all of a sudden had become a field agent.
Such a shame that anything else Tom Cruise tries falls short (The Mummy) these days so these movies will keep getting churned out every 2-3 years.
Henry Cavills and Sean harris was the only redeeming characters onscreen. Angela Basset and Alex Baldwin did their bit.
Opening Credits were lame And the directing overall was not Christopher Mcquarries best effort. Seems to have played it safe for the pay check.

This film is so insensitive to the beliefs of millions of Hindus across the globe. It mocks and riddicules Hindu beliefs and rituals. It is poorly made. In bad taste and there is no value in watching it.

Wow, a movie without any plot, at all!
The movie ambles throughout unsure where it's going and not explaining where it's been. It isn't a horror film, it's not an actual drama, it's more like the Manson family decided to film a vacation.
The only compliment I can offer is the actors must have had fun filming it.

The whole point of the movie is to point out the absurdity of these types of movies. Quickly, we realize just how ridiculous the whole scheme is, all the way down to the person who "did it" but we still watched the movie. Figuring out the murderer was easy, and this was done on purpose because the movie isn't a "whodunnit" movie. It's essentially making fun of modern society and the people in society. YouTubers who are trying to make it big, even though they are in their thirties and forties. Dumb rich girls who are oblivious and have no clue what sweatshops really are because they don't understand the world. Even a representation of stoner dudes whole are just "out there" doing nothing or having no significant impact in the world. Viewing the movie through that lens, it does a pretty good job. Everything else about the movie is terrible.

Wow, the citizens of Missouri should be really offended by this movie. This is an Oscar contender? You're kidding right? Seems like it wants to be a Fargo wanna be............ Only redeemable about the movie is Frances Mcdormand and Woody Harrelson.

We are watching this with my teenage girls as they really enjoy it finding the two old men quite hilarious. But was it so necessary to use the F word so often?

I've watched quite a few Anime over the years (although I wouldn't call myself an Anime Wizard) so I got to learn a thing or two about this genre.
First off: let me say right out the gate that this is a great Anime. It's enjoyable, easy to follow and binge. It ticks a lot of the right boxes and it has an above average attention to detail.
If you like other shows like Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer and Hunter x Hunter, then you'll surely like this one too.
Now prepare for my rant :D My main issue with this series is that it can be incredibly predictable when it comes to the character's decisions and highly cliche / typical behaviour.
Below I listed my biggest complaints:
1) You have the main characters who can only be at their highest power levels when fighting for family (Vin Diesel would be proud) or close friends. The old mantra of "I can't let them down" or "I must save them" guarantees a win for the struggling good guys, no matter how much stronger the villain is.
2) The good guys continue to be incredibly predictable and outright dumb (strategically and long-term) in most of the cases. All it takes is for a random enemy to attack or endanger a bystander NPC and that's it. Game over for the good guys. They will throw everything out the window, all the strategies and plans to save that ONE bystander, literally compromising the entire operation and, of course, allowing the villain to get the upper hand, critically injure the hero or escape, allowing them to kill more civilians later on.
3) This one is more of a personal opinion but I seriously dislike this mentality of trying to save the villains (after literally killing hundreds or thousands of people) or avoiding to kill them at all costs. This brainwashing sort of Hollywood propaganda that good guys can never kill someone or they will become a villain themselves (what?!) leads to a whole load of predictably poor decisions. Countless deaths could have been avoided if they simply unalived the villains when they had the opportunity (like in Demon Slayer or JJK) rather than going through extensive efforts to knock them out and capture them alive and arrest them. How can you even consider arresting someone with incredible super powers? It's bound to come bite you in the a$$ at some point.
4) The main villains are way smarter and more organised than the heroes. The difference is night and day. You will notice how the villains are always many steps ahead, have countless tricks up their sleeves that allow them to escape any situation (especially when cornered) and are very successful at executing a long term plan, slowly moving the right pieces into place. They always catch the heroes off guard and successfully execute their evil plans (not including killing the heroes). But the heroes? Completely disorganised, very short term thinking and just use brute force/sheer numbers in every situation.
5) Lastly, it's to do with lack of critical thinking, again. There are intense situations where the heroes must act swiftly to neutralise the situation and they always prioritize the wrong things. I can't go into too much detail because I might end up spoiling it for you. But I will say that if you were a hero breaking into a villain's lair plotting an attack, you should try taking out the main guy first, rather than focusing on the NPCs he releases to distract you, giving him time to execute his evil plan, escape or rally up more enemies. But what do they do? Exactly the opposite. They all have the strategic abilities of an 8 year old.
Ok that was it from me. I hope you find my rant useful. Again, I enjoyed this show overall (hence why I voted 8/10) and I suggest you give it a go.

The motion was too slow, and had lots of unnecessary scenes that add nothing to the movie! It is a complete waste of time! The ending was very simple and flat, although they made the movie to appear more complicated! it is like opening a very fancy and heavy box and find nothing but stones! it can be an April fools' day movie! The only reason for the high rating in my opinion is the popularity of Hugh Jackman, as it turned out that he got a lot of fans! I gave it 5 because there was some suspense to know who did it till the end of the movie without skipping scenes (although the ending was not worthy!)

Despite the critical accolades showered on this film, it seems hard to take its Best Picture Oscar seriously in light of its amazing competition - pretty much all of which succeeded far better in their respective goals. I had the pleasure (or displeasure) to watch the film with my cousin - an Afghanistan and Iraq War veteran. He was already picking apart the film's much-heralded "authenticity" before the first 30 minutes were up and stalked out in a huff after 1.25 hour never to return. Some of the errors I would not have noted without him; others were so glaring that the viewer would need to be headless to overlook the illogic. Given that this film's "realism" was one of the trumps critics and fans were citing, it was a bit of a surprise that such could be so easily dismissed. The story - such as it is - focuses on an EOD team in Iraq having to contend with reckless loose cannon Jeremy Renner. Renner is quite good in the role - the writing and the film itself are not up his level. Much ink has been spilled about Kathryn Bigelow becoming the first Oscar-winning female director. I think this moment should have come sooner, but not with Bigelow. From the start, critics have invented superlatives to describe Bigelow's resume, but I thought she was a hack when she made the cult film Near Dark and her subsequent entries like Strange Days, Point Break, K-19:The Widowmaker, etc., have not changed my opinion. She combines all of the worst aspects of macho-man male directors without any mitigating factors. It is not a compliment to say that any of Bigelow's films - including this one - could have been made by a run-of-the-mill male action director. Bigelow consistently sacrifices logic and coherence for the next big bang or money shot. Arguably, my biggest annoyance is what is missing from the film. Agree or disagree on the Iraq War, but no one can dispute that it is one of the most controversial political events in U.S. history. A pre-emptive war initiated by the U.S. on trumped up evidence against a country that posed no legitimate threat and which repercussions are still thundering throughout the U.S. and the Mid-East. A really amazing film could (and should) be made on exploring such fall-out. How ironic then that the first award-winning film to set itself during the war has absolutely no view on it whatsoever. The characters we meet have little to contribute on what or who they are fighting. It is little more than a glorified testosterone-fueled action film with nothing to say about much of anything. Unless, of course, one takes a cynical approach and assumes that Bigelow and company's point is that we should thank goodness for endless warfare or else what would men like Renner's character - who are ill-suited for either family life or contributing to peaceful society on a daily basis - possibly have to do with themselves. Strangely that does seem to be the theme of her film and it is as disheartening and wearisome as her direction. One also trembles to think that now that Bigelow has made such an uncontroversial film on such a controversial subject and given the approach such cache, how many directors will now inundate us with films set in the Iraq War (a la Vietnam) that will also have absolutely nothing of interest to say?

Total waste of money & time if you ask me.... Netflix should've done better is all I am gonna say......

Well it was a reasonable story line until you realise it's based in 2016 and the Amaericans are storing secret files on floppy disks.. Come on really.. how many of you remember floppy disks.. 8 track anybody.. 😁

The series features Falcon and Bucky. I enjoyed the series. We find out more about these supporting characters in the MCU as they take the center stage. There is decent action and some buddy buddy moments between Falcon and Bucky. I loved Netflix "Daredevil" and "Punisher", but this show is superior. The Disney Plus shows are 10 minutes shorter per episode, have some funny moments and more action than the Netflix Marvel shows.

This movie was made by the director of Blade Runner and Alien, two works of art, but that was many years ago, back when Mr Scott still had some creativity left. After making this movie Ridley Scott should go into a nursing home and hide. What a piece of crap!! Matt Damon growing potatoes on Mars? Acting? There is no acting! Stay home and watch Blade Runner one more time..:) And the music... Disco all the way!! With David Bowie - Life On Mars? That's when you should close your eyes and get lost in the music, but unfortunately they don't play the entire song! Then there is ABBA, and we all like ABBA... :) NASA is desperately trying to survive and needs a new "project" and Mars is it. They always "forget" to mention to the general public that the atmosphere of Mars is about 100 times thinner than Earth's, and it is 95 percent carbon dioxide. Is much colder also. The average temperature is about minus 80F. So, if there is water on that planet I would not drink it...:) Going back to the real world...If you like sci-fi I recommend Ex Machina or Luci, if you want to have some fun.

I had such big expectations for this movie and i was so anxious to see it that in the past two weeks i kept dreaming and thinking about it every day. But, unfortunetly, the movie dissapointed me pretty much. I really like the Ruso brothers and they have had great imagination and are good at what they do, but this movie was casted and filmed in a hurry with little to almost no action at all and lack of inspiration and imagination. They could have done a much better job with the Endgame movie but i guess that is what happens when you rush to make even more money and don't care much about the fans. Hope they make it up to us with their next movie.

Here's the thing.
In my eyes BARBIE happens at the beginning of the movie. Amazingly created world with great looks and surprises now and then. Lovely! But then it feels like all about BARBIE is forgotten within seconds except for the pink color of course. The movie turns into a quite weird direction with happenings that are very sought and often don't make any sense at all. Suddenly everyone can jump around between two worlds and no one thinks that's crazy actually.
Suddenly the difference between Kens, Barbies and Human beings is gone away ALTHOUGH in the beginning it shows definite differences like feet or fingers that aren't separate. Later on Ken plays the guitar and can move every single finger for example. All in all the great love for detail from the beginning is gone quite fast and turns into a long childish and boring battle between manly men and fimaly females. It starts to look like the TV-show Love Island. A loud unnecessary back and forth between genders. At the end a try of a deep scene to let go a few deep words and that's it. The movie teaches nothing to take home with. It's more like the name BARBIE was abused for this one in my eyes.

Every year there is a "crowd pleaser", a film that has garnered criticism from industry experts but received overwhelming popularity from audiences. This was that film in 2017. An infectiously joyous musical that was hailed to be a monumental rejuvenation of the genre (because apparently 'La La Land' failed to do that, despite being perfect). But beneath the showstoppers and audacious musical numbers, lies a predictably formulaic story that feels weaker than Efron's 'High School Musical' days. Loosely based on P.T. Barnum's life, this musical chronicles his showmanship years as he recruits a band of "oddities" to perform in his new show. However fame and fortune corrupts him as he succumbs to greed and...well, you can guess the rest. You may have noticed the supreme reign of the soundtrack throughout this year, as radio stations constantly blast out "This Is Me". That's because, and I'm starting off bold, this is one of the best musical soundtracks ever. Literally every track is memorable, both melodically and lyrically. From the powerhouse "This Is Me" to the gorgeously romantic "Rewrite The Stars". Each song has its own vibe and suits the situation they are performed in. It's just a shame the film itself doesn't complement the excellence of its soundtrack.
The rags-to-riches plot has been executed countless times, and is quite frankly becoming dull. Aside from the delicate (albeit forced) romance between Efron and Zendaya, the story lacks substance. Barnum remains unlikeable throughout, including at the very end when he encounters redemption. The wrong choices he obviously decides to take prevent him from being relatable. There's a fine margin between representing greed (whilst justifying it) and creating an inhumane character. The theme of acceptance that should've been flailing on the circus floor is unfortunately sidelined. Nearly every supporting character is underused. I mean Barnum's wife forgives him almost immediately, consequently diluting the much needed drama. Williams' fragility and delicate nature was severely misplaced, which frustrates me. It's clear that this is the "Hugh Jackman Show" and he does deliver on almost everything. He dives into the routines, brings naivety to Barnum and is most certainly having a good time. Efron and Zendaya were also excellent, and would love to have seen more of them. In fact, I would go as far as saying that the film could've benefited from adding an extra thirty minutes to the runtime. Spacing out the dialogue and drama between songs instead of feeling like a collection of music videos strung together with a lack of imaginative storytelling.
This review may sound negative, but that's only because I wanted more. In all honesty I enjoyed it. I was smiling, tapping my feet to the songs and even belting out "never enoughhhhhhhh for me...for meee...for MEEEEE". It's a joyous pleasing film that will appeal to the masses, with the numerous showstoppers disguising what is essentially a weak story.

Last 2, fast forward the broken English & over-used stories. More soap opera, & less action. Though, most series suck since 24. Let Jack be free. Blah blah blah blah.

I honestly think IMDb should have a new rating system where you rate: Overall - Cast/Acting - Art/Set Design - Effects/Makeup - Writing . Because everything but the writers would be getting at least an 8. So sad when you have the source material and are so myopic you think you can write a better version. I turned season 3 off after 1st episode.
They started to lose me anyway once they started going away from the storyline. And I sure as hell won't be watching Liam H. That's not his fault but the series has lost me, though personally I haven't figured out if he just needs better roles or if he needs more acting skill, which better roles would help with. Sadly there is no real way to save this series at this point. It needed to be done in S2 with clear dedication to the books to reestablish the series and give the people what they wanted in the 1st place.

This series is not good as its ratings. actually it wastes my time or didn't meet my expectations level.

Mindless, incoherent nonsense. Terrible dialogue and acting except for Tom Hiddleston who does what he can with the meager script. An extremely dumb start to the series.

I enjoyed this movie a lot. From characters portraying as slum-dwellers to Amitabh Bachchan's Vijay Borade, everyone has nailed their roles. The movie is a real-life story of Vijay Barse, who formed slum soccer that gives a chance for the underprivileged children to get their life on track. The movie has beautifully and delicately captured the emotions & struggles the underprivileged people face. The key takeaway from the movie is life is a struggle and to achieve something you will have to struggle.
Also be mindful about negative reviews. They clearly look like a dismal attempt to make people stay away from the movie. Indeed the negative reviews look like they have been written with malice. But honest movie lovers, you should watch Jhund. It is a feel-good movie.

The AI and "science" behind the story is just non-sensical and ignore all basic logics of AI engine or even general programming, but only people familiar with the field will pick up on that.
Apart from that, it has all the basic and seen billion times elements of a feel good movie. The evil capitalist money-motivated corporate leader vs the good kind-hearted workers, the battle for freedom, the love story... it's just so standard and a bit boring. The humor is good, even quite funny at some time.

I don't think I've been this excited about a movie in a long while.
It was somewhat different than what I was expecting, but in some fantastic ways. Margot Robbie was a fantastic choice as Barbie. She shines, she makes you fall in LOVE with Barbie again, effervescent in every moment, she fully enveloped how a lot of us remember playing with Barbie, and what we thought and hoped for when we grew up.
America Ferrera - fantastic. She brought me to tears Ryan Gosling was a scene stealer! His Kenergy was phenomenal - in a movie where he was literally "and Ken" Greta Gerwig truly brought the entire Barbieland to life.
I laughed, I cried , I ugly cried and I'm still revisiting every moment.

This is my first review of movie..Before watching this movie many friends told me its rather boring or slow and I m not lover of slow or arty movies..But when I saw the "Swades" I was stunned by the brilliance of Ashutosh Gowariker and Shahrukh Khan.Movie is almost 200 Mintutes long...But you will not feel a single minute bore..Movie cover many India's issues like 'Poverty','Literacy','Women Empowerment' etc...A.R.Rehman's music takes movie to the another level absolutely superb..This Movie makes you feel for your country , think for your country and also lighten up your patriotism..Kudos to the whole team of the movie for such a wonderful movie...Excellent !! 10/10

Yet unlike the originals, unfunny and uninteresting. Apparently might even go into color TV by episode three (yay).
If this was the intent for the show, it does not work. Maybe it's supposed to be funny?
Would rather scoop out my own eyeballs with a spork than watch another episode as.. entertaining.. as the first two.

Some parts of this series are well executed, seemingly parallel with its origins. The rest however, is mired in excessive juvenile humor. The creators of this show are determined to depict male genitals as a cartoon prop. Every cliche' penis joke is present along with the requisite size shaming comments and of course, ridiculous close ups & violent acts that reduce the genitals to basic punching bags. Curious that shows seem to avoid treating female genitalia in the same fashion. It must be some sort of unwritten rule. Too extreme for the sensitive viewers perhaps? It's quite the double standard that they've set.

Review on Swades:- first of all im not a flim critic so im not gonna give a described review but in this movie i saw the the real india and its culture.even now in 2020 we have caste system and caste has dictated almost every aspect of Hindu religious and social life, with each group occupying a specific place in this complex hierarchy. Rural communities have long been arranged on the basis of castes - the upper and lower castes almost always lived in segregated colonies, the water wells were not shared, Brahmins would not accept food or drink from the Shudras, and one could marry only within one's caste but this movie is not feared by any caste mafia and shown our caste system and how much we can achive if we conquer caste discrimation.

Netflix has done it again... it is very rare to see Indian dramas with such high level of writing specially in terms of plot construct and scene setting. The coherent flow of scenes and character arches beautifully interwoven. That too toped by a great dialogue writing specially the use of past idioms, phrases and imagery is exceptional. I loved the use of phrase "chit bhi meri, patt bhi meri aur taiyan mere baap ka" 8/10 for sure which makes it a must watch.

It's one of those films which you'd love to watch over and again (though perhaps not the song sequences!) They hardly contribute to the film. Though independently, the songsand the cheroghraphy is wonderful.almost all the songs r superb hits! they are one of the best of A R Rehman. Mani Ratnam's films always have a good storyline. Same is with this one.Shah Rukh Khan as Aman Verma has done a good role specially at the beginning and one can see Manisha Koirala in one of her (few) good roles. The film begins well, stalls in the middle and then again picks up well near the end. I loved Priety Zinta's character. She looks absolutely cute and sexy at the same time. Some of her dialogues with Shah Rukh khan are quite hilarious and add that tiny bit of humor in the otherwise serious romantic/drama. The film essays the problems faced by the people of North-East India and depicts the subsequent terrorism prevailing in those areas. The film has beautiful cinematography. The scenes from Ladakh / Leh are breathtakingly-beautiful, while those of NE-India aren't so bad . Even the scenes shot in Delhi depict quite tranquil pictures. this film is a must watch for tjose of you who like serious films having a great acting n memorable story!
Watch this film. it truly touches ur heart! film.

Its always a happy and very rare day when you go to the cinema to watch a sequel and come home believing it to be better than the original. Today was one of those rare days for me.
For starters the movie has the return of all your usual characters. The movie has the same old light hearted humour in it and possibly even funnier than the previous one and don't worry just because Po is now considered good at Kung Fu it still doesn't mean he gets much right as you will see in the film.
The only slight disappointment to this movie is the fact that the plot is quite similar to the original. I wont give too much away but the plot is strong yet similar to the original.
Due to the disappointment of Cars 2 this year I definitely believe this is the film to watch this summer especially if you have kids. Wow I never knew I would recommend Dreamworks over Pixar.
A real feel good funny film, I give it a High 8.

Ending was brilliant. Even in the last episode I was happy to see falcon who turn into captain america.

I tried to watch the first episode maybe 8 months ago and saw the huge spider looking monster in the first scene and thought it looked ridiculous. I quit watching it right there and moved on. I was stuck inside a couple weeks ago and after reading some reviews decided to give it a second chance. I am so glad I did. I watched the entire season that weekend. If you like fantasy and magic definitely give this a try and don't let the first scene scare you away. I am a sucker for that stuff but feel like most times it can be slow getting to it. Not the case here. It kind of gives me GOT vibes with the going back and forth with different storyline that meet up. I think its much faster. Witches, dragons, monsters oh my, its got it all in the first season! I don't think i was ever bored with it. The only thing is I am still kind of confused on how the law of chance or whatever works. I really have fallen in love with this show and the characters. When the storyline meets up BAM end of the season. It leaves me wanting more but that is no surprise. Can't wait for the next installment.

You're out of your dome saying this is the 55th best movie of all time.

The jokes are related to Bible. If you are not Christian, then you don't know Bible and you don't even know it was a joke! Without joke this show is bland. Many a times you feel that this is supposed to be a joke, but you won't feel it funny because you don't know Bible.! Not for non Christians.

....this enough. Each episode is better, and more surprising, than the one before. Does it tend to caution regards technology? Yes...and it SHOULD...we don't want Idiocracy to become prophecy.

...I like this show but I do.. The characters are absurd and the stories beyond the creativity of us sane folk. Jenna Ortega of whom I had never before heard or seen is a hoot. A beautiful young woman with eyes that offer a hint at every thought. Badass women of any age (definition: sarcastic, uncaring, dark, morbid and aggressive - - but not dangerous or hateful) get my attention. I share this morbidity and sarcasm and laugh at my own such comments no one else sees as funny. Having confessed the most alluring (to me) about this show is her observations and comments I would write much more of the same into her lines.
I am 76 and imagine some portion of all ages will find something fun in this series. Fun show. Wide variety of characters. The good ratings may result from the creativity of the stories and variety of characters.
An aside: I am not at all a fan of any Hollywood billionaire and gravitate to series that use new, high quality but lower-paid talent. Catherine Zeta-Jones is a big name. The other talent is lesser known...cost containment!

Just terrible. Love marvel but couldn't even watch this crap.

The first 4 episodes were not that good (not including the character of Steven), no matter how much i wanted them to be good. Oscar Isaac acts his heart out in this show, he is criminally underrated and definetley one of the best actors of our generation. His passion alone for the role gives so much passion to the project, and im definetley happy with the choice for him to be Moon Knight. Can't wait to see more from him playing this role.
The last 2 episodes were the easily the best, and in my opinion saved the show. From a MCU fan since day one, i can easily say that this show offered something new, and im excited for the future.

The first Wick film was good. The second not so good. This is literal nonsense. I wish I had not wasted the time watching almost non-stop, not-to-be-believed-for-a-second, fight sequences and killing. A ridiculous story line. Reeves had almost no dialog. While the effort put into the fight sequences was impressive, that is the sole thing admirable about about the film, other than some special effects which were, also, not-to-be-believed. That the film was rated 7.5 tells a lot about the extent the acceptance and enjoyment of continual killing/violent death is part of the human fabric, and the cultural emptiness of the viewing audience.

Apparently doesn't take much to get film awards these days. Cartoonish, unsympathetic characters. Absurd, unbelievable plotlines. Lotsa yelling. In a world of Marvel Comic adventures, something different I guess. But awards worthy? Not in my book.

Films like 1917 focus so much on style that they leave behind any narrative strength. 1917 plays like a Video Game, and would probably make a great 10/10 video game like Call of Duty. Now, from a cinema point of view, the cinematography, production design, and wardrobe comes together very strongly, you should probably wait h it for the "single shot" method employed. What doesn't come across at all is any sort of tension- any sense of true danger. Compare this with Birdman, where you actually feel emotion+tension despite the one continuous shot. The one-shot in his film is a gimmick a does not add anything. It is often distracting.

Probably one of the best movie ever made in indian cinema,i am giving this review after 16 years of releasing this movie and this film still makes more sense then any other movie which are released in 2020.It deals with all the major problems of our indian society and show them perfectly without any dram and filter .After this movie,indian cinema and Indian government really owes a national award to Shahrukh Khan for his magical performance.

Honestly, I don't understand how people put 10 to this (paid?). I think I didn't see the same movie. It was boring and very teenagers oriented (14 years old ones!). So long and brainless scenarized...Many people left the cinema before the end. You can easily pass this "superhero"(lol) movie. Bouh Marvel.

The first part was dazzling and surprising for those who watched the movie and the fans of movie type of: Who is the killer? The first part presented a group of well-known stars in a different format than the roles they played in previous acting works.
In the second part, I face many challenges: Will the second part be better than the first part, or at least equal to it? Secondly, yes it presents us with a group of stars with beautiful charisma on the screen.
This time, the events of the film take place during the pandemic. This time, the main investigator, the hero of the story, is facing deadly boredom due to him staying at home all the time due to the pandemic and the lockdown. This is what drives him, without hesitation, to participate in one of the games organized by a rich person. This game is to solve a crime, hypothetically a crime that didn't happen in reality. This invitation reaches the investigator and some close friends of this rich person, but during their arrival to the place of the invitation, we begin to discover many mysterious things.
The first is how the friends get to know each other. Each character is completely different from the other character, a rich person, a YouTuber model, a scientist, in addition to a political figure and an investigator. We begin to discover, by starting the conversation from the beginning, that there is a suspicious or unhealthy past for each character, but the most important thing is that it is far from the game and the hypothetical investigation. We begin to discover real crimes in the place of Al-Daghwa, and now everyone is a suspect, and through the story we will learn who the culprit is.
Yes, I am almost certain that the characters of the second part will continue on the same path as the movie of the first part. What I did not like about this movie. Yes, they showed us the motives and reasons, but I could not get behind any motive in them, and in these types of stories, the most beautiful thing is that it shows that you made a mistake about who the murderer is, not Only in deceiving you, but showing you that your deductions were wrong, makes you doubt one or two or three people, and in the end you discover that all your doubts were wrong. In this part, I was not able to doubt anyone.
Yes, it is true, there are many good plots in the scenario, and there is good manipulation, but I cannot be certain that I doubt any character, as if I was waiting and seeing the events for the vision to appear. I could not participate in the game, which is very important in this type of movie. In addition to clarifying things, there were many coincidences to the point of being so ridiculous. The only reason some mysteries and some indicators were discovered is that the character, for some reason, was present at the right time and the right place without any actual intelligence to find the information.
I don't know. I feel that my feelings were confused towards the end of the movie. I would almost describe it as childish ending. The actions of some characters led to the flattening of this movie. The first part was so amazing that it cannot be described.

I watched the first two episodes when they first released, and I liked them okay. The rest of the season had a little while before it would be released in the US, though, so I watched the first two seasons of Outlander in the meantime. Coming from a show with excellent writing, a talented cast, and main characters that have such good chemistry, A Discovery of Witches became less enjoyable and more frustrating as the season dragged on. My biggest beef with this show is Theresa Palmer. She is absolutely dead-eyed ninety percent of the time, and she delivers all of her lines as if her Ambien is just kicking in. You can see Matthew Goode struggling to emote enough for the both of them, but they have no chemistry what-so-ever. This writing isn't terrible, but there are a handful of really awkward lines. The best actress in the show is definitely Malin Buska. Her portrayal is beautiful and more interesting than anything else happening on the show at any given time.

For a few weeks now, Stranger Things, Netflix's newest "original" series has received the kind of buzz that only a new Netflix show can seem to manage these days. It's been recommended to me by just about everyone, and when I finally sat down to watch it, I found myself in a really weird mixed head space. Because at the core of it, I love the show. There is so much to praise it for. But after every episode, I found myself wondering, often times aloud and to anyone who would listen, why it works. Because I can't seem to get around the notion that it absolutely should not work.

You spend all the movie waiting for something to happend, just at the very end you see five minutes of what you expect from Tarantino and really you feel that those scenes makes no sense in the history, only DiCaprio (Rick Dalton) and the ambientation of sixties hollywood, especilly italian westerns save the tape.

Full of drama, humour, sense and entertainment...a great watch.

Direction, acting and background sounds are the strong points of the movie, you don't get bored at any point. Story is quite engaging. I thought problem with the movie is, we expect some big twist will come in the end and just blow our mind but nothing happens like it in the end. But obviously the story is succeeded to thrill us at many points and we get involved in story and stick with story to the end. It's a great thriller movie in Indian cinemas no doubt but it becomes predictable at the end. That's why I thought it is a overrated movie.

Greta Gerwig's Barbie explores creation myths in Barbieland, a parallel universe populated by Mattel dolls. The director uses the toy conglomerate's vast archive and successful products as tools to create a rich and weird material. The movie is a clever send-up of Barbie dolls and their legacy, featuring light-hearted jokes that poke fun at Mattel, the doll's lore, and the contradictions of our sexist society. The director's storytelling is impressive, and the film's humor is both lighthearted and chuckle-worthy. Gerwig's Barbieland, created by Sarah Greenwood and Jacqueline Durran, is a pink fever dream with funky compositions by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, bubblegum anthems by Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj, and Ice Spice. The film features plastic trees and identical two-story Barbie dream homes, with flying being the preferred mode of transportation. The production design and costuming are exceptional, showcasing Gerwig's passion for details and her ability to create a dreamlike world. Barbieland is a feminist utopia in which Barbies serve as presidents, Supreme Court members, doctors, physicists, Nobel prize winners, and cancer cures. The dolls are not structurally different from our world, but they are represented by political fantasy and decade-dependent what-ifs. Barbie has gone to space, could vote, and own property before many human women, and her appearance has changed to mirror society's beauty politics. The representational doll has become an extension of political fantasy, reflecting the beauty politics of society. Gerwig features a cast of Barbies, including Issa Rae, Emma Mackey, Alexandra Shipp, and Hari Nef. Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie) is the protagonist, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Barbie created by Ruth Handler. Her Ken counterpart, Ryan Gosling, is portrayed with humor and heart. They are a version of Eve and Adam, with their fall being dramatic. Barbie finds her perfect life hampered by existential thoughts and seeks answers from Weird Barbie (Kate McKinnon), a doll with a traumatic history. Stereotypical Barbie, with Ken, heads to real-world Los Angeles to find her little girl. The relationship between Barbies and their human owners is tenuously outlined, so it's best not to think too deeply about how it all works. Robbie's performance in Gerwig's Barbie highlights the tension between Barbie as an object and subject. Her expressive eyes and physical presence reveal the human world's forces, while her rigid presence in Barbieland suggests she's not less rigid in the real world. Despite the director's skill in capturing deeper themes, the film's ominousness and muddied politics suggest it ultimately serves a brand. The film's ominousness and muddied politics suggest the film serves as a brand. Gerwig's film Barbieland is a mix of fun and emotional depth, with a tension between keeping Barbie entertaining and blending her source material with previous projects. After a detour, Barbie returns home to find Ken's patriarchal knowledge has transformed Barbieland. The screenplay, by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, avoids familiarity and mockery, but the moments that aren't just funny are buried in important monologues, making the gestures feel politically hollow. The film's mandate is too ambitious, making it feel politically hollow.

I found it really refreshing for the horror genre at the moment. There was never a point where I was bored or that I felt the movie was becoming repetitive. Really enjoyed the camera work and thought the acting was superb.
I'm not a major horror movie buff because I often find I'm able to convince myself it could never happen to me but with the gen-Z influence I found it hit quite close to home especially with the personal relationship issues. The blatant need to fit in with the cool kids and the peer pressure that comes a long with it is portrayed amazingly well.
Should definitely be a must watch on the 2023 list.

A Beautiful Mind starts kind of slowly, the first part seems a bit long, even a bit boring sometimes, though the thriller atmosphere manages to captivate the viewer.
What makes the movie is its beautiful second part, sublimated by Russel Crowe's performance with his John Nash character.
One problem comes up though when a movie relies on a twist, which is the case here for the first part: once you know it, re-watching the movie is less interesting. And since that first half is already a bit boring, it doesn't help at all.
As for the direction, it is very classic, perhaps a bit too much, but ultimately efficient.

Much like Arrival, which the critics went gaga over and was a drama disguised as a science fiction film, the critics went gaga over this as well. Perhaps if they'd had some musically inclined people in it, rather than the cast they did, it might have kept my attention. But it didn't. I find Ryan Gosling bland, and really while I like Emma, she needs to stretch her acting muscles. The big eyed earnest waif act is wearing a bit thin. Her character in this could have been her character from Easy A, there's that little of a difference. Some critics have compared this to Singin in the Rain, but there is no comparison. That's a classic and this is just another over-hyped Hollywood movie. I'm sure some people love it. But I'm pretty sure just as many didn't.

This is the movie that makes DC look better than Marvel. Accompanied by bad actors, bad dialouges and bad story line.

A very good episode that reveals to us what we have been hurting for a long time, but for me the episode does not deserve 10/10 raiting because it contains information and secrets that have only been revealed.
