This is a wonderfully produced mini-series in terms of sets, costumes, makeup, special effects. The script is really something that a teenager (or younger) would like - Medieval setting, anachronisms too numerous to mention, absurd complexity of neologisms and lore. The main draw of the series, Henry Cavill's beauty, is also its main drawback - He has two expressions: blank or scowling, and one register - taciturn monotony. If he were not physically convincing, famous or attractive, he acting ability would have inadequate alone, and the weakest of the cast. The Medieval gobbledy-gook of neologisms and anachronisms of rune (Celtic) and Ingvaeonic (aka, reductively, Anglo-Saxon-Jute-Danish) words and themes, seems even more in stark contrast to the decidedly salty 20-21st Century slang and curse words. I'm all for interpreting ancient dialog into an emotionally-resonant modern script, but this was inconsistent. Completely anachronistic is the presence of non-European characters at a time that pre-dates European Colonialism to other continents by several centuries (400-500). The narrative tone as well was a bit monotonous "doom and gloom". A more dramatic effect would have been to have light and grey moments in the narrative. Only the joker-like humorous character provided some texture. It was about 50% too long.

Don't believe any review. Just watch it and you will love it for sure. This movie has raised standard of industry in terms of its treatment given to war movies. All army operation scene are absolutely killer and amazingly close to reality. Did not like makers changing 72 hoor dialogues to please some extremists, but even after change it does not disappoints much. Warcry scene of 8 YO girl as seen in trailer, seems more connecting after you get background story. You may find DRDO stuff a bit childish, but it may have been shown purposely for drama purpose. 5% of movie seemed fictional, but it has been used as surprise element, it can be accepted as artistic freedom of makers. Acting of all actors are top notch. Few politician's reel characters looks funny. (Edit: Anyone comparing it with zero dark thirty or Argo is just show off moron trying to be a wanna be critic.)

The first season was satisfying and left nothing unsaid. It really only needed that first season. It was a good message and I do not think it was glamorizing suicide. It just really made you think about what happens to the people left behind. By trying to add 3 more seasons, it just veered off from what the show was really about. The show is called 13 reasons why, so I mean there should be only 13 episodes.

... seems like a really good idea to me. Since 1980 and the beginning of neoliberalism we have allowed individuals to acquire far too much wealth and therefore far too much power some of these individuals we all know their names have now so much power they can dictate to entire countries policy choices direction. It is a stupendously stupid situation the human community has allowed itself to drift into. When I first started to watch this (I never saw the first one) I don't usually watch mainstream blockbusters since I like to watch movies which are as intelligent as books might be now this was a huge disappointment within minutes you realise the IQ level of the piece is around the 60 mark And probably will drop as the unbelievably moronic plot unfolds. It makes no sense at any point. The actors here are all pretty good and sometimes very good I am sure they got paid a huge amount to sign up to this "project "but frankly did they enjoy making this? If you like your intelligence insulted by all means watch this ... It is not excruciatingly bad it is just predictable boring at no point do you feel it is going to get any better and it does not I think the true rating here should be around five maybe four. It has a slightly secondhand Agatha Christie vibe due to the presence of the English actor trying to produce a southern American state accent probably Louisiana since his name is a French name does he succeed in doing that? To my ears not but I am not from Louisiana Would advise to avoid there are better films in fact many many better films to occupy your eyes and mind.

Overall, this is well crafted Hollywood movie; above par acting, a sense of humor, great soundtrack with a "seemingly" kind heart. On the other hand, the movie has an agenda to glorify American conservatism by belittling the hippy and black movements and idealizing moderate conservatism above other views. Watch with caution!

This is a childhood classic that I enjoy to this day. Seeing how the characters change and grow in such a short time is so captivating. The plot, the characters, and the ending is all amazing. WATCH IT.

Very suspenseful and explicit. Too much torture for my taste, and apparently none of these characters have ever heard of foreplay, but the production values are high, Charlotte Rampling is incredible as Matron, and the ending was unexpectedly satisfying. A fun rental!

As a gamer, 'Ready Player One' was one of two movies I was looking forward to seeing this year... and I'm sad to say that it was a huge letdown. The pacing was off, the story was choppy and the writing was barely decent. The plot was cringeworthy more times than not and completely forgettable. It was like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory except without any heart or moral to the story. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement--and here I thought 'The Last Jedi' was mediocre. Go watch this movie if you're just dying to see how many pop-culture references you'll get. Stay away if you were hoping for a remotely engaging dystopian adventure.

The spectacularly cast "Amsterdam" warns of the 1%'s exploitation of the masses thru facism via a jaunty '30's based tale of WWI chums Christian Bale (brilliant) & John David Washington being framed for the NY murder of Ed Begley Jnr's daughter Taylor Swift, that leads to a caper involving Margot Robbie, Robert DeNiro, Michael Shannon, Zoe Saldana, Rami Malek, Matthias Schoenaerts, Mike Myers, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Andrea Riseborough & Timothy Olyphant! It takes a winding while to make its point, but does so most effectively. Props to A-list writer / director David O Russell for a timely warning about history repeating. As he says: "Don't follow the wrong god home".

I loved this show when Season 1 came out. I loved the 80's music because I am a huge fan. I am 16 and I felt that teenagers were really being represented in the right way. Most teens hate pop music and do not listen to it. I felt very similar to Clay Jensen and I was really impacted by this show. I am not the typical teen though. From a very young age I have never had an interest in having a social media presence. I had no idea how awful social media could potentially be until this show came out. I had only heard rumors and stories until watching the show. The central mystery of why Hannah killed herself keeps you interested throughout the whole first season. I could not stop watching because you have to know what Clay did wrong and why he deserved a tape. Tapes are sadly a very inventive way to say why you killed yourself and I hope that it is not repeated in the modern world. There is a lot of discussion as to whether or not 13 Reasons Why glorifies suicide and I have never understood how it has. The directors show the physical and mental pain that Hannah goes through during each episode when someone lets her down. Her heart is broken over and over again and then finally her spirit is broken. Suicide rates have climbed amongst teens because of phones. Some of the damage done to Hannah definitely comes from the presence of phones. Phones definitely make people feel lonely and it is not a good thing. People are not social anymore and people live in a fake world through Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter. 13 Reasons Why does a really good job of showing the empty pit of loneliness that you can feel in high school. When I watched Season 2, I expected the fallout of Season 1 and the trial of course, but I also did not expect other things. I will not go into those things for those who have not watched the show, but I was somewhat disappointed by the writing direction. The writers made a conscious decision to change or alter Hannah's backstory through the views of other people and it definitely did not work for some of the characters. Not having the book as a fallback made the show veer in weird, strange directions in regards to Tyler. The second season introduces a place called the Clubhouse which is for the best because it was a big shout-out to the Me Too Movement. I just worry that 13 Reasons Why is now only trying to shock viewers rather than deliver a convincing, thought out story. The acting in both seasons has been amazing and even the new cast members are phenomenal. I think my massive problem with season 2 was the plot and Clay was not the central character as much which pissed me off. Clay was the main character in Season 1 and I do not feel as if he is in it as much as he should be in this one. Plot threads concern more on the people Hannah blames for her death. There are a few pairings of actors that work extremely well in Season 2 that did not happen in Season 1. That was a pleasant surprise, but Season 2 is not in the same league as Season 1. Not by a long shot. I hope Season 3 is amazing, but with Katherine Langford leaving, I do not know how the show will be. I am still a huge fan and I cannot wait to see what it will be like. On another note, I would not suggest this show for anybody under 14-15. This show is really important for teens to watch though. There are a few gruesome scenes, but it is really important and perfectly signifies how our culture is right now.

Can't imagine so good movie can be created from South. Bollywood director must learn from them. Instead of copying or remake south director can make such classic thriller. All star cast performed really well. Truely a powerful thriller keeps us on the edge from begnning to end. Superb

There was nothing thrilling about this movie. Even facing death, Generation Z-ers will still be hashtagging on their phones and rebelling against their parents. Selfie stuck. Poor acting. Mind-numbingly stupid plot and dialog. Cannot imagine the people that gave this high reviews. Well, yes I can. This is a Lifetime Network drama. And nothing realistic or feasible. The only positive thing about this movie was that I was bored enough to google how high vultures can fly. Did you know that some vultures can fly as high as 37,000 feet? And as far as 200 miles? Other than that, I got nothing from this.

This is by far the best movie I've ever seen. I was so mesmerized by its atmosphere it felt like actually being hypnotized by the end of it. I guess I've seen it some 4-5 times by now, and it never fails to produce the same gamut of various emotions. It is the cinematic equivalent of Salvador Dali's artwork: unpredictable, magical and completely out-worldly in a very worldly way, if it makes any sense. I don't think there's a movie that even remotely resembles this one in any way. It's not just a matter of actors, or the music, or the storyline: it's all these factors combined in such a wondrous piece of art. Absolutely brilliant in every imaginable way.

Infinity War could have been a great film if they just summarized the grueling excessive CGI fighting and war, cutting an hour from the length, giving time for a bit more of a breather and ending the main film with a message of hope and not in a post-credits teaser that relies entirely on outside comic-book knowledge. Most people I know go to see superhero movies for the escapism and to feel the triumphs of good over evil - sometimes even by the common man rising up. Marvel sometimes gets props for blurring the lines, creating complex flawed heroes, sympathetic villains and hard choices. But there still need to be the broad strokes of victory (even if with sacrifice). Congratulations, Marvel and the Russo Brothers, you've managed to out-bleak the darkest DC movies and I think it is a cheat of the worst kind that you will in some way "fix" this over several future movies. I have not felt this depleted in a long time after seeing a movie and I've heard others walking out of the theatre (or in these reviews) saying they may never watch another Marvel film if the sole focus is on stringing along the franchise and effects instead of telling a compelling tale within reasonable bounds of a single film. My recommendation is to wait for video release and not reward the producers for such a half-hearted first Act without including the rest of the (potentially epic) story.

NOOOOO! This movie got me losing my will to live, so cringy why they made venom to open his mouth to talk,WHY?! A joke after a joke, after a joke!! Dude!! You're not funny!

If you like propaganda, spewing poison on Hindus then this movie is for you.

There is one great thing about this series which is focusing of role of the people in the modern western society. Yes, they have the greatest power and their acceptance is the ultimate vote. But, people are easily manipulated by corporations, the government and the rich. That is very well explained in this sci-fi series and seriously it is more than what you can expect from a superhero story in that matter. The visuals are also acceptable and good but not excellent. However, it contains all the problems and story holes that are common in all the superhero movies and shows out there. I don't want to go in that direction and list them because the list would be so long. That is the real problem with this kind of movies. Sometimes they don't make sense even in their own introduced logic. So, overall, it is surly an above average work. It surly amuse you and is also has something to offer socially. I recommend it to watch it if you have time.

The movie shows that it is one man army against the actual bangladesh entire army and still the hero wins. I did not notice yellow filter and was not bothered with it. The story line is not realistic but action is amazing. Just see this movie for its action sequences.

Few phenomena are more fascinating than dreams. The untamed subconscious liberated from societal barriers, images of distorted reality filtered through personal fears and hopes, dreams are rich with cinematic and storytelling potential. And yet very few movies have been able to actualize their power on film. By their nature, dreams, their images and feeling, are nearly impossible to replicate in a place outside our own minds. Some geniuses have done it. Fritz Lang did it with Metropolis. Stanley Kubrick did it with Eyes Wide Shut. Alex Proyas did it with Dark City. David Lynch did it with Blue Velvet. None of those films are consciously about dreams, and yet they give, through mood and twisted imagination, the impression of experiencing a dream. Enter Christopher Nolan's Inception, a movie 100% about dreams, that is woefully inept at imagining them. Nolan takes the nebulous psycho-analytical concept of dreams in his usual literal way, presenting a vision of the untamed subconscious as boring as an international action movie. The hook of Inception is too juicy to ignore. A group of mind thieves, led by Leonardo DiCaprio's Cobb, infiltrate the subconscious of a C.E.O in order to implant an idea, in an act of corporate espionage. The story is original and high-concept, two welcome adjectives for a big-budget blockbuster. A journey into dreams structured like a heist movie. It's cool. Sadly, the fabulous premise of Inception is almost completely wasted in what amounts to an unflavored Bourne-style diversion. A filmmaker with imagination could have a field day with the skeleton of Nolan's screenplay. More to the point actually, Nolan's screenplay needs a filmmaker with imagination. Christopher Nolan, for all his stellar skills as a director of giant, prestigious, filmic blockbusters, is hopelessly devoid of imagination. To promise us an entirely new cinematic world, only to end up showing the same boring cityscapes, offices and ski resorts we've seen hundreds if not thousands of times over, is unjustifiably lazy. Whatever "dream-like" sequences Nolan tosses out are so frivolous they might as well be ignored, because they do nothing to further the impression of experiencing a dream. So there's a train going through a city. If this is as crazy as your dreams get, I pity you. With respect, the image of the folding city carries with it some power (Hans Zimmer's "Bwwwaaah!" must get some of the credit for this) and the hotel sequence remains a clever and well-done special effects moment. But they are outliers in what is ostensibly a collection of grey shootouts. And I'm sorry if the gun nuts come for me, but scenes of two groups shooting machine guns at each other from behind cover are such boring ways to visualize action. Movement and surprise are the pillars of great action. A static shootout has neither. Take a risk for Christ's sake. Do something new. There is a clinical precision to everything in Inception. The movie is clenched tight, completely driven by plot and storytelling efficiency. There is not a second dedicated to artistic freedom. It is rigid, don't-break-the-rules conformity to realism. Not even in a dream, where literally anything imaginable can happen, does Nolan allow himself to go a little nuts. To show us an image that might be taken as, I don't know, weird. No, everything in Inception must be buttoned-up, dignified. No setting can be too extravagant. No performance can be too nutty. It's bad enough that Nolan turned a place called Gotham City into a glass and concrete eyesore with the visual flair of a corporate stock photo, but to turn the infinite realm of the mindscape into the same turgid grey void is borderline unacceptable. Nolan has gotten better as an artist since The Dark Knight and Inception. And I won't pretend that the films that made him a superstar are without their qualities (The Dark Knight is very good, I should mention). The left side of Christopher Nolan's brain is like an F1 engine. He is a powerhouse when it comes to the mastery of intricacies in storytelling, the managing of time, science, and plot. The right side, however, is underdeveloped to an extreme for a man of his talent. Inception is the movie where that creative part is missed most. The opportunity for transcendence was too clear for us to have been saddled with an end product so generic. Inception is safe enough to not upset the legions of film bros who worship it, but that safety comes at the expense of a vision that could actually be considered "bold". 49/100

I've noticed that most of these super-heroes battling super-villain films get very high viewer scores on IMDB--8.0 or above. Clearly, many people love this kind of movie. I don't. My thoughts: I saw this on a plane several years ago. I've seen several others in the genre. In this film--they all seem to be like this--the heroes are battling to save the world. Sometimes, they battle to save the galaxy, or even the universe. In this film, the plot setup is so ridiculous, I can't take any of it even halfway seriously. But the genre fans are pleased, because it delivers the one supreme thing they care most about: beings with super-powers fighting each other. Much of this very over-long movie consists of characters battling, flying around, running around, more fighting, etc., etc. My reaction: giant yawn! What a bore! See, before these kinds of movies--say, before Star Wars, as a point of reference--most movies were not focused on battle scenes, explosions, fate of worlds, etc. They were about characters and human (not alien, etc.) beings. Action scenes, even in action films, did not take up most of the screen time. Now there have been so many of these films, they all seem alike. It's way beyond saturation. So, if you are entertained by lots of fighting using special effects, you may well like this. Otherwise, don't waste your time.

I saw positive reviews & suggestions for this anime so I finally decided to watch it. From the second episode onwards it was just a repeated action sequences & story for each episode. The storyline is immensely boring & meaningless, which is fine theoretically for a comedy based anime, however I recall only chuckling once at the very 1st episode. From there on it was difficult to watch till the end of season 02 TBH - I wish I had simply stopped at the end of season 01, but I was influenced by others to continue onwards in hopes it would develop somehow but never did - each episode was pretty much the same and I'm sure even the biggest fans cannot deny this repetitive feature.

After commanding a successful rescuing mission of hostages from pirates in a ship, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) meets Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) very upset since Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) had different objectives from his. Nick explains that he does not trust anybody but discloses the latest top secret project from SHIELD called "Operation Insight" that will launch three aircraft carries to the space linked by a satellite to protect the world. There is an attempt against Nick by the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and Nick goes to Steve's apartment and delivers a flash memory to Steve. He tells that SHIELD is compromised with infiltrated HIDRA agents; then Nick is badly wounded by three shots and goes on surgery. Secretary Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford) asks Steve why Nick was in his apartment but he refuses to tell. Soon Steve is considered traitor and hunted down by the SHIELD agents and he teams up with Natasha and Sam "Falcon "Wilson (Anthony Mackie). Now they investigate the reason why Nick was chased and they discover a lethal secret plotted by the HIDRA. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is a highly entertaining adventure with non-stop action. The predictable story is not bad and the special effects are top-notch. Chris Evans seems to be a juicer but is a great Captain America; Scarlett Johansson is Scarlett Johansson and there is nothing else to say; Falcon has great lines with humor; Emily Van Camp is cut and the villains are great. I am looking forward to see evil The Twins against the hero Captain America. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "Capitão América 2: O Soldado Invernal" ("Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier")

I understand Mr Tarantino's nostalgia, but I'm not sure why we the public had to subscribe to it. I hope this is his first and last vanity film. Brad Pitt looks good for his age and fans of his will enjoy his role in this. DiCaprio proves he can act. Is the age of Westerns and old Los Angeles really that romantic? If you think it is then this is for you. Nothing much happens in Once Upon A Time, and all the tension, such as there is, is provided by prior knowledge of what Charlie Manson's terrible acolytes did later. In this movie Tarantino has garnered the indie formula of a huge 90% build-up (relying on the actors to deliver interesting drama), to 10% monster ending, only his ratio is 5%.

I did my best to find a reason to keep watching it, but it was impossible. First off, the plot is not a good fit for what happened in the past movies to Peter Parker. So the guy goes to space, gets involved in a few major battles with Thanos, gets Bliped and finally loses his idol and all these will not have any impact on him?! I would rather have created this Spider-man a little more darker. Probably, he should no longer attended high school or at least continued through home-schooling, struggled with some dark times. I would rather created him more mature. Secondly, it seems to me that script-writers of comic-movies write their scripts based on latest genius codes written by software engineers - not based on a what they have in mind. What Maestro does and the imaginary monster he created is ridiculous. What happened to those superhero movies like Iron-man, The Avengers (2012). In those movies, what superheros and villains possess as so called super-power somehow make sense and not ridiculous. They are great movies and make you watch them again and again. Also, they almost destroyed every character they built in previous movies, Spider-man himself or Nick Fury only because the film-maker trying too hard to be cool. I hope this trend stops in Hollywood real soon. Some people are just destroying Hollywood because they have mixed up film-making with making of video games!

Unbelievably boring. Just a Middle Ages jousting tournament which seemed to make up half the episode, boring actors with no chemistry, and extremely tedious royal court politics. Oh and thrown in a few dragons just to remind the audience, that , yes you really are watching Game of Thrones? Mind you I really loved Game of Thrones, but that had great actors ( nearly everyone in it was brilliant, ) whereas this pathetic offering has terrible actors. Then it had great plot and story, whereas this is just recycled boring Middle ages England pageantry and house politics. No sorry, this is a total misfire in every way.

Very boring in my opinion, captain marvel is a horrible character and she ruined most of the movie for me. Amugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugusamugus.

A pretty boring movie. A lot of big scenes but not much highlight.

Here's a movie which shows you what the words "bold" and "brash" actually mean. Not only that, I think DevD has given a new meaning to Indian cinema and creativity. Hats off to Anurag Kashyap for making this in-your-face gutsy flick! As the promos state: it's a lust story ("Come, fall in lust") I do not want to say anything about the story here, because I don't want to spoil it for you. Just 2 words: "mind-blowing". It is "loosely" inspired from the story of Devdas (its characters and the storyline) - but this one is all fresh and new. It's based in Punjab - the characters are all contemporary and hilariously "weird" - weird because you don't expect such characters and dialogues in Bollywood movies. But, at the same time, you can very well relate to them. The acting by everyone is A-grade. Abhay Deol is brilliant in his best film so far, as the brash, arrogant and shameless brat who cares a damn about anyone. Both Mahie Gill and Kalki - play their parts of Paro and Chanda superbly. Their outspokenness and audacity is too cool. Not to forget everyone in the supporting cast (especially "Chunni") - they are all marvelous. I think a lot of credit for this goes to the director - he had the guts to make a movie which takes the so called Indian "culture" and the concept of "love", and turns them over their head. Dev D is indeed a cult film and I hope it inspires other directors to trash their formulae and think out-of-the-box. The music (Amit Trivedi) again is another star of the movie, (with no typical song-and-dance sequences) the songs carry on in the background, taking the story forward and depicting the characters state-of-mind. Cinematography is flawless. At 2.5 hrs, the movie is well-paced. To sum it up, a classic out-of-the-mainstream movie which will be remembered for years to come Watch it for its brazen and defiant attitude!

I saw the high rating before I went to see this and hence my expectations soared. No doubt, the movie was beautifully filmed but it was just that. A thin plot and as I write this, I can't recall the ending even after watching it only yesterday.

The third season would have definitely been good if only Ani had not been added to the cast. And why is she even narrating this season?! She is annoying and she is totally un necessary to the story line.

There are some great visuals, but the story is so weak, predictable and boring, and the acting is shocking.

If you liked the others please don't spoil your memories of them. Don't. Watch Scary Movie 9 or whatever. What a pity, using the Warrens fora few seconds just to make you think it's another good movie.

Tried giving it 3 episodes however massive let down.

I watched this back in the day and thought it was overrated then. Weirdly shot cinematography and random scenes with random dialogue. And if you like movies with no resolution after over 2 1/2 hours, then you will love this. And every few seconds of the badly written dialogue is bad language to prove how "real" these characters are. I tried to watch again to think maybe I missed something the first time around. Maybe Travolta can all of a sudden act and maybe Samuel L. Jackson won't just yell his dialogue. And maybe just maybe there will be resolution of what is in the briefcase. Instead of the satisfying Seven resolution, it still does not resolve. The movie looks VERY dated. It is still random. It looks like a movie shot for under $10 million. Still the most overrated movie of all time. Period.

The film is directed by Christopher McQuarrie. It stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, Henry Cavill as August Walker and other extras. The movie was nominated for 'Best Summer 2018 Blockbuster'. The movie was filmed on location in different places: Paris, UK, New Zealand, Norway, Berlín. The film is the sixth sequel of the Mission. The story begins when Ethan Hunt and his team were assigned to intercept stolen plutonium cores in Berlin while being monitored by the CIA. The movie has a complex plot because it shows different stories. Mission Impossible:Fallout is a must watch, it has a lot of action, the special effects are truly amazing, and it has an important message: teamwork. This sequel is definitely my favourite because it was filmed in magical places around the world.

This could easily be one of worst movies ever. It is actually so bad that it is anoying. Bad bad bad in every possible way.

Suuuucks. Such derivative acting. Also, this show has few entertaining sequences mixed into a mess of boring banter. I think the hype is simply a product of how calloused we've become to violence and of how ridiculously gory some scenes are.

Two words brought me here - Jon Bernthal. After his performance as Shane Walsh on 'The Walking Dead' I wanted to give 'The Punisher' a shot and the show also came highly recommended by friends and family. I watched both seasons within a couple of weeks and it didn't disappoint. Jon Bernthal's performance is phenomenal. He lives and breathes the role of Frank Castle and you can feel the commitment he gives to his work. In an interview Bernthal said that he does all of his own stunts (he actually broke his hand performing a stunt when filming for season 2 and continued to fight injured) because he felt it was important for the audience/fans to have the authenticity of seeing Frank doing the fighting. He also admitted in another interview that to fully get into character he spends large amounts of times in isolation to really capture the mentality and emotional state of Frank. This is a man who brings his all to the role and it really shows. Bernthal makes 'The Punisher' what it is. 'The Punisher' is a harrowing tale of soldier turned anti-hero/vigilante, Frank Castle, who is on a mission to avenge the murder of his wife and two young children. It's a tragic and violent tale that incorporates themes of mental health (PTSD), grief, loss, morality and isolation. There is a great balance between the fight scenes and brutality where The Punisher dominates the screen, and the human moments where Frank just gets to be Frank. As a character, one can't help but fall in love with and sympathise deeply with Frank Castle, experiencing the emotional journey he goes on with him. If I was rating this based on Jon Bernthal's acting alone, it'd be a solid 10 out of 10, no questions asked. However, the show does have some issues, which become clearer in season 2, the main one being the plots. They're too thin to be spread across 13 50 minute episodes, which causes problems with the pacing, and also leads to random sub-plots branching out incoherently which make everything feel disjointed. There's also A LOT of repetition, and most of what happened in season 2 felt like a rehash of the events in season 1 (particularly with Billy). Personally, I think season 2 suffered from having too many secondary characters (Madani, Amy, Billy, Krista, Mahoney and Pilgrim) and not giving Frank enough focus. The new addition of Amy (Giorgia Whigham) was a blatant attempt to try and appeal to the female audience (since the show is very male dominated), but it was poor decision making because Amy's presence felt forced and out of place. All she really did was get in the way of Frank's arc and her plot replaced what could have potentially been an interesting plot for Frank. In addition, despite the brilliance of Billy Russo (and Ben Barnes), the decisions regarding his arc in season 2 were poor and didn't do him any justice. In fact, after 2 seasons of build up the resolution to that plot was very underwhelming and anti-climatic. The issue here is definitely a writing one. Although there's no denying that 'The Punisher' has some great story-telling moments, such as 'Home' (s1 e12), which is an hour of brilliant and hard-hitting television, there are a lot of poor decisions that were made in season 2. The show suffers from a lack of vision (which I suppose is the curse of being a show which is constantly under the threat of being cancelled) and it feels like it doesn't know WHAT it's trying to do or WHERE it's trying to go. Season 1 was much more coherent and felt like it had a clear beginning, middle and end, but season 2 didn't have that same clarity. I feel like the solution to this issue (if the show returns for a third season) is to shift the focus back to Frank himself, because he's the heart of the show and what the fans watch for. Overall, despite the issues with season 2, it would be a real shame if 'The Punisher' was to follow in the footsteps of its cousin Marvel shows and get cancelled prematurely. Bernthal has so much more to give and although season 2 was purposefully ended on a note where it could pick up another season or end there, there's definitely still more to be told. I hope the popularity of the show manages to save it from being cancelled, because I still don't think the show has reached its full potential yet.

It's been some time since I saw this series (around 2 years), and I honestly couldn't recommend it more to all my friends and everyone I know. It left me with some kind of strange feeling of fascination which I can't describe. It really is mindblowing, simply because it's very very original, everything is absolutely genuine, which I haven't seen anywhere. I gave it a 9 because me being a very subjective person, I kinda have to educate myself in being more critique of some things, but I really enjoyed this show! Unbelievable! It's almost morbidly fascinating!

This is a typical train action movie where the heroes have to stop a runaway train before it crashes into something and kills a whole bunch of innocent people with the predictable ending as always in these Hollywood action films. Basically Denzel Washington is the same typical hero character he always plays. He is not bad and neither is the other main actor, sorry but I forget his name, but the story is pretty basic by the numbers action stuff. This movie is not as dramatically good as Runaway Train and not nearly as good of an action movie that Speed was with the great train (well subway really) scene at the climax of the movie. This is worth seeing but wait until it is on TV, I give it 5 out of 10.

Impressive storytelling and a must watch film. Each actors and actresses gave there best . No.1 India's Thrilling movie and without any doubt it's a masterpiece .

Never seen such a good screenplay and narrative in a thriller like this for a long time. Never can you take your eyes off the screen. Some scenes could have been avoided to avoid the drag but overall fantastic direction. Watch it on a big screen. The background score ensures you hold tight to your position. This re-affirms the talent India has in movie making. Good job team!

For once, a tv series that let's all its characters build up naturally, through storytelling and actual plot. It was very entertaining. The production value is superlative, and the acting is top drawer. I dont know how they'll keep Cavill around, but I'm praying they do. This series mixes excellent "monster of the week" storylines, with the overarching plotline of the source materials, great effects, and a very talented cast. Can't wait to catch up when season 2 comes out. Another great Netflix original!

I started watching this show after hearing all the buzz around it. While it doesn't really have much to do with the Addams family, I appreciated this show going in a new direction with this whodunit teen drama. The show is more geared towards young adults but I think older viewers can still find entertainment in it because of the characters, mystery, and it's unique sense of humor. The Characters are very hit or miss, Jenna Ortega as Wednesday does a great job and really anchors the series. I particularly like her chemistry with her roommate Enid (played by Emma Myers). The two are polar opposites, them being assigned roommates makes for an entertaining dynamic that blossoms into friendship. I also think the casting for the entire Addams family is very good, while they don't get much screen time they nail the few scenes they get. Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester is a riot, he serves as a pleasant surprise and good comedic relief in the later episodes. Some of the characters are not so great, Tyler and Xavier are water vapor characters, they are void of any charisma and dampen the scenes they are in. I think the first few episodes of this series are quite good, they are more lighthearted and the characters get a chance to shine before the whodunit plot really kicks in. However, the last few episodes kinda fall off in terms of quality in my opinion. The show becomes to obsessed with plot twists and knocking the viewer off their trail that it fails to provide enough explanation for the villains motivations and the history of the towns feud with Nevermore and the outcasts. The amount of red herrings this script contains is obnoxious. There are multiple times where Wednesday is boldly and loudly wrong about her suspicions, which just doesn't track with a character that is shown to be much smarter than that. Overall, I think the show has enough good that it is worth the watch. I would be interested in a season 2 although hopefully this time around the writing is a little more cohesive.

I liked the movie a lot. I was intrigued about what I wanted and what would happen to the character played by Jennifer Lawrence.

CGI was all that was good in this film. Entertaining? Close, but not worth 2 hrs. The dialogue was atrocious, even though the acting was alright. The script? Crapping horrible. If you have nothing better to do and you can't find it online for free, then waste your hard earned cash and pay for the crap. It's good enough if you need to pass the the time while your worthless life has nothing else to offer.

Really nice show. At the beginning might be boring but keep watching step by step getting rising . Really nice!

wow that was the biggest waste of money i think i've ever made....i loved American pie and i've seen some bad movies but super bad was super...AWFUL... the humor was in poor taste and honestly my 14 year old brother could have written something better than this if i had more than two thumbs i'd put em all down but for now its a definite two thumbs way down i'd read the good reviews here on IMDb and it sounded pretty hilarious between the reviews and the previews but after going to see it not only was it disappointing but quite disturbing and at parts revolting not in a gross-out ha ha sort of way but in an oh my god... thats just sick from the moment the opening credits ended i could feel the brain cells start to die...and those that didn't die fled in terror.

Time to salute a truly n wholesome cinematic beauty delivered by the director & his team.. A movie that will shake you & yearn for a change, an inspiring take.,, its simply sheer excellent cinema & excels in every department.. As we have known that the man in question is a great story teller & here he takes you through a journey that makes u momentarily stop and ponder!!! Aided with almost equal craftsmanship in the music from the treasures of the Mozart from Chennai .. He beautifully uses various instruments & matches the varied moods and emotions with his brilliant background music... Not to miss the lyrical hue that all the more is highlighted in the song" yeh jo desh hai tera" , so very soulfully n emotionally sung by the Mozart himself....the screenplay , editing & meaningful dialogs add in sync to make it this offering something not to be missed!!! Moving on to the performances, srk deserves full marks to have given justice to a difficult role, watch him act funny or flirting or deliver his lines or express his ire over the social issues.. The débutante & only one film till now actress is worth watching for, be it her looks or her expressive face or her simplicity, she has kept everything in control,. In fact, Mr. Director scores in assembling so many actors & extracting superlative performances from all of them... A picture with a strong message, a message that will leave you speechless, problems that our India still faces.. Its a coming of age cinema and something that can never be made again ... Hail the effort..

The only good thing about this movie is Alexandra Shipp's smile. Took me about 6 minutes to roll my eyes and skip parts of the movie. Cheap writing, cheap acting. Cringe-worthy try to bring Shaft to the 21st century. I'm just happy I didn't watch every minute of it. What a sad way to give a sequal to the smooth mr. Shaft. Sad... Sad... Sad...

1 start for Leo, 1 star for Brad. The rest is garbage!

Complicated! The movie should have told me what the monsters are, where they came from, why did they come ?? I imagined the whole time it was the final judgment, god's apocalypse, but that also would not make sense. If the ending was "we will not show the monster why else would you kill yourself" would be much better! Everything goes without explanation. Despite this, the movie is good and the note is 7. I just looked because it was hype.

I'm a big fan of "Munich"; I thought it was powerful and dynamic. In its way it helped ameliorate the horrors of the '72 Olympics, as if anything could. It also brought us Eric Bana who is a great find if you ask me. I also thought well of "Empire of the Sun", largely because of the cast, particularly John Malkovich who can do no wrong. But this, this mush of a movie should have stayed locked away in memory. No need to traipse all the dirty laundry out for the world to see. What's the value of that? I really don't get it. Was Spielberg tired of being accused of never doing anything personal? Well, this more than makes up for that. And I'm unclear, despite its two and half hour length, did his mother get the help she clearly needed (at least through the lens of Spielberg et al.)? I also liked Jaws and will watch it again every time it's on tv. But I won't watch this again. E.ver.

It would of been better as a serious film, it's a comedy but the subject matter isn't really funny. Also felt like it was like the Johnny Depp film, Blow. I did enjoy the pilot scenes though, Tom Cruise's stunts are always good to watch.
7
Every performance on this show is brilliant, especially Mads Mikkelsen's portrayal of Hannibal. This show deserves to continue on into the path of Silence of the Lambs as Season 4, but it seems nobody wants to pick it up. Have they actually watched the show? That is what I wonder...

Awarding 5 as Season 1 was a 9/10 adaptation of the book and was so wonderful seeing the book brought to life with an amazing cast and fantastic sets and cinematography. A beautiful, smart, clever tribute to Terry Pratchett. S2 gets a 1/10. The cast of S2 remains excellent however the performances were exaggerated to make up for what the story and script lacked. The two story threads were completely unrelated and one of them was so uninteresting from a fantasy novel point of view. It was poor judgement to try and extend the Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett masterpiece. It lost all the clever wit and humour that Terry Pratchett brought to his works. As for the distractingly irritating product placement of cars on the set. Really annoying. If you enjoy the book and S1, I suggest you don't watch S2 as it adds nothing to the wonderful book.

If you're into comic book movies, this one is just okay. I disappointed because the pre-release reviews were amazing. But sitting through it, I don't see what everyone was amazed about. Because african american actors were in it? There are a lot of great actors, who've performed a lot of great rolls, who have happened to be black. This movie breaks no ground there. Heck, this isn't even the first black superhero in film, so that's not even new. In my opinion hyping a movie because it has a lot of black actors is just as bad as not liking a movie because it has a lot of black actors. I'm just saying. With that said, the actors in this one did a good job, I liked them all, even the villain. The CGI wasn't the best, but then again maybe I'm just getting burned out on movies that rely on CGI, and let's face it Marvel relies a lot on CGI. It just seems like the CGI is not getting better. I thought the same thing about the recent Star Wars movie. Overall, it wasn't the worst Marvel movie I've seen, if you like the genre, and ignore the hype, this one probably won't disappoint you.Black Panther.

Christian Bale is a bad Batman IMHO . His performance really feels like he is acting and the voice is a joke. Combine this with the worst interpretation of Bane since Batman and Robin, alongside a terrible story and poorly executed action scenes, and you end up with one of the worst films in the genre. To top it all of you can "enjoy" a terrible Catwoman in Anne Hathaway. Morgan Freeman is decent so it gets a 2 out of 10.
2
The concept is original, but I was amazed at how unintentionally hilarious most of this film is. All those times characters kept reverentially referring to blank, uninspiring Keanu Reeves as "the one"; all the over the top martial arts posing and meaningless, new-agey babble - this is just an under-ventilated, overblown hodgepodge of a few good ideas hopelessly overpowered by a dizzying number of brainless cliches. Once again, the MTV generation mistakes a lot of noise and flashy editing for good filmmaking. If it wasn't for the clever special effects, this would be MSTK3 fodder all the way.
3
I thought this movie would be a ripoff of The Quiet Place and plus with Sandra Bullock how could it be anything but commercialized fluff? However, the movie has an interesting and new concept, at least the concept isn't a total ripoff of anything that comes to mind right away. A few small plot points seemed like plot holes or not thinking it through on the part of the writers but overall this is a fun watch.
7
Michael bay had two objectives so I jave given two stars each for those two objectives. 1) his first experiment was to prove it to Netflix how stupid and herd like people are. They will watch the movie even if the don't follow and enjoy some drone/gyro/aero shots of cars and famous actors with experimental approach on non existant structure or a Story. 2 the movie is about how Vitamin D is essential for for people living in underground and not getting enough Sun

There are a lot of genius filmmakers working in Hollywood. What a lot of them struggle to do though is find a way to put together a really smart script, that is also entertaining. Christopher Nolan is a good example of that over the last decade. Rian Johnson does not have that problem. His films are intricately woven, but man are they going to entertain you along the way as well. This series of films are exactly what I love in cinema. Entertaining and original murder mysteries with an extremely likeable lead character and an amazing cast every time. I wish Johnson would make these until the end of time. There was only one thing that stopped me from giving this a 10/10. I felt that the cast of "suspects" were all a little too similar in terms of motive and opportunity. They felt like a team, rather than a set of individuals. The film does handle this well in its conclusion but it does make trying to work out the murder mystery along the way a little less fun. Otherwise though, this film is hard to fault. Funny, smart and highly re-watchable. 9.5/10.

Beautiful Sci-fi filming. If uou Liked Ses 01 you will looooove this Season. Just watch it. HATERS gona hate anyway! I have seen Killjoys- The Expanse (so fare) You can easy see that the budget are alot bigger on L.I.S.

Watching with my mom, we had the same impression....it was just like the story of Forest Gump! This movie had many messages to convey and so many things happened within 3hs. I really liked all of them all but I feel so full.

I thought I'd grown out of these kinds of films the moment I turned twenty. Juvenile jokes and binge-drinking plot lines surely get old after a while - something to be enjoyed thoroughly at the time and discarded in favour of more "mature" pictures later on. I know I certainly feel this way about American Pie, and I only saw the first two of those. Every so often though something like this turns up and puts a fresh spin on what is a faded and often cliché-laden tale. Something which comes close to being more than just another teen comedy which plays out with complete predictability and forces the more experienced movie-goer to grind their teeth at the same old archetypes being played out by actors who really can't. Superbad is one of those. The plot is convoluted so much that it becomes part of the humour to see where it'll detour to next. This isn't a bad thing - for those who usually find this genre to be stale, it keeps you on your toes. Luckily this doesn't mean the story becomes so wacky it doesn't have a heart because it does, and there are actually some subtle lessons about not making mistakes that'll stay with you your whole life here, especially towards the end. It's a good balance and with any luck will prompt more than a few "I've been there" moments from viewers. For those who seemed to think that the movie was expletive-laden - and worse, full of profanity to cover up poor writing and acting - think again. Yes there is a little, but so what? I've never met anyone of the age portrayed in the picture who doesn't cuss a little, and here the characters are witty and amusing when they're supposed to be. I can't often say that about members of the target audience. Of course, having a likable story and witty jokes is one thing. Having a decent set of actors is quite another. Fortunately, the trio of Hill, Cera and Mintz-Plasse, a cast of relative unknowns, prove they can handle their own and bring spontaneity to their roles. I would wager that some of the more hilarious moments were partially ad-libbed, that the leads took an idea and just ran with it to see what happened, with the best takes ending up as part of the end product. Their interpretations of goofiness and the attempts to be more than just outsiders feel surprisingly realistic, and since they're not Hollywood gorgeous it makes for compelling viewing. Our three would-be heroes are backed up with panache with similarly memorable performances by Seth Rogen as one of two wayward police officers and Kevin Corrigan as the aggressive party host who doesn't suffer ANYONE gladly. The overall impression I walked away with is that life often leads you down some unexpected alleyways when you're just searching for a good time, but if you keep an open mind and trust your moral instincts you'll turn out fine. The fact this is backed up with a really well-chosen multiple genres soundtrack, some excellent non-sequitur twists and a couple of the most hilarious slapstick moments in years (Fogel getting decked is just one) means I've already seen this twice and plan to see it again at some point. A consistently humorous teen comedy with a heart of gold? Yeah, I thought they stopped making those too.

I don't get the hype about this movie. It's pretty boring and way too long! That being said I think Lady Gaga is clearly the reason why this movie is watchable (and I'm not even a fan!). It's nice to see her natural looks. She's charming and have a good voice. I usually like Bradley Cooper but this is just an average performance from him. If it hadn't been for Gaga I don't think I would have watched the whole movie.
5
It has a very good plot, but overall I didn't like the movie very much. Probably the prostatic make-up looks too fake for a long time, I couldn't adapt to the movie.
7
It's a sweet and wonderful, funny and poignant HORROR movie. It's a movie where background is death, genocide, extermination, complacency, betrayal. The colors are not bright enough on black and red background, sorry. Watching it hurts, and it does not heal nearly enough. Stay away if you are sensitive kind.

I loved Wayne, which was written by the same writers as this films, so was excited to give this a shot. It is unbearably bad. I shut it off after about 20 minutes and was mad at myself for lasting even that long. I come here to check out the other credits and see it's directed by Michael Bay. How am I not surprised. Don't waste your time. Watch (or re-watch) Wayne. Much better.

From Reel Tunez, The Radio Show All About the Movies. In fairness, maybe I'm the wrong demographic (Male/50's) for this movie.. but I did watch it with my wife. I can only describe it as wretched! It was seriously like watching people make up their lines and the storyline on-the-fly. It was so terrible, it was nauseating. I didn't have high hopes for it simply because it didn't look interesting to me, so it was certainly not a matter of being let-down. It was like "Grease" meets "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (but both Grease & RHPS are fun movies.. and I really liked them!) This had the campiness of Grease.. and the cheesiness of Rocky Horror. But the parts of those movies we liked or found endearing was complete absent in Barbie. Visually.. I'd say it was certainly interesting. The premise of the movie also had some ability to be entertaining. But this thing was a massive waste of time in my book. Though Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are actors I like in many movies, it's so beyond campy that I couldn't even find it funny (though a few, VERY few, areas had some laughs). Maybe part of the reason I found the movie "wretched" is because it was as if the director actually instructed the actors "be as funny and over-the-top as you can". It was like watching the 1980's bad cast of Saturday Night Live TRYING to be funny. Simply painful to watch. This is a rare movie I'll never want to watch again. Ever.
2
Great show but I can't help wonder why the writers had to bring the whole race situation into it. The final scene in endgame with cap passing the shield was the way it should be, but for some reason the writer had to bring on race, it was filmed during the whole racial tension (2020) in the US but could've just kept it simple.

Extraction's excellently staged, inventive action is ultimately overtaken by a rousing story, in spite of the hundreds of close-quarters gunblasts and the absurd body count. Powerful performances and tight scripting take tired clichés and make them feel like tried-and-true storytelling techniques. (Most of the time.) This could have been just a fun, disposable genre pasttime, but it's significantly better than that. Chris Hemsworth reveals himself to be a gifted craftsman through an understated, gripping performance. It's refreshingly un-self-conscious, and delivered humbly, without flash or fanfare. It's the mark of a smart director that he was given the space to do that. In those quiet moments, with his fierce, but anguished, weary eyes, he really made me believe his spiritual desolation. On reflection, it reminds me of Denzel Washington, who also elevates more than one action movie with hard-wrung pathos. I hope Hemsworth is allowed to continue on this track and do meatier work than he's been saddled with up to now. His isn't the only impressive performance. David Harbour is delightful in a thankless, but crucial bit part. What a presence that guy has. Rudhraksh Jaiswal shows up big time in that last act. Most kid actors aren't nearly that good. If there's any justice, he has a good career ahead of him, as does the startlingly adept first-time feature director Sam Hargrave. He doesn't quite sidestep all of the pitfalls of a movie like this (lots of side characters we don't have time to care about, some on-the-nose flashback material, etc.), but the way he choreographs motion, viscera, and heart is impressive.

I don't know why this movie got ANY user reviews above 5 ... There was absolutely no plot development and very little character development. The score (shepard scale) was a droning never ending headache inducing annoying noise. To compare this film with Saving Private Ryan is beyond ridiculous. The story of what actually happened at Dunkirk during WWII is not told in this piece. So much more could have been told. l would venture to say that a majority of those born after 1950 have NO IDEA of the scope of the Dunkirk Rescue and the events leading up to it. This picture does a DISSERVICE to those who lost their lives during this failed operation. In closing I can only say that I do not know which was the greater disaster, the actual event, or the film depicting it!

I purchased this film in Blu-ray for my collection. Unfortunately, I read the gushing and reverent reviews of many critics and many in the IMDB comments community, BEFORE making my decision to purchase this movie in Blu-ray. The best lesson I learned that day....ALWAYS read at least as many of the 1-star reviews as you do the 10-star reviews when deciding whether to add a film to your permanent Blu-ray disc library. The best lesson I re-affirmed that day.....ALWAYS view a movie before you decide to purchase it if at all possible. (Broke my own rule and now I am stuck with a 20 dollar plastic disc that's only real value is that it makes an excellent wedge to keep the table from rocking) I was extremely disappointed in this film's absolute bungling of what could have been an epic telling of this very real British triumph of courage and resiliency that occurred at Dunkirk. In the face of a catastrophic Army defeat, the British Navy and civilian merchant and private fleets took to the English Channel in a heroic rescue effort that resulted in the rescue of approximately 330,000 soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk. INCREDIBLE !!! HEROIC !!!!! INSPIRING !!!!!!!! So what the XXXX happened with this pile of crapola entitled 'Dunkirk' ??? This film is a sophomoric, disjointed, bland, and uninspiring attempt to tell the story of Dunkirk. At least I think they were attempting to tell the story of Dunkirk. This film is small in scale and the Battle of Dunkirk was anything but small. The film was small in emotion. Dunkirk was NOT. It leaves one to wonder, at what point is the director no longer allowed to say his movie is 'Based upon" when he diverges so completely from the actual historical reality he is supposedly depicting ?? At least the characters were all still British. The director robbed the characters of their bravery, passion, selflessness, inspiration, patriotism, and camaraderie, but at least they allowed them to keep their nationality. Such a sad waste of an epic cast and an even more epic historical tale for them to perform for their adoring audience. Alas, the only things NOT epic in this recipe of greatness are the director and writers. Dunkirk, the movie. AVOID it at all costs. Dunkirk, the battle of, a heroic and inspiring historical occurrence worth READING about until someone creates a worthy film.

Cool enough anime. Just sad there is too big of a plot hole... they could easily have a void all these plot holes. I couldn't watch more than 4 episodes. Maybe the plot holes would make sense farther down the anime, the fact that no one talks about them is just weird. The plot hole I'm referring to is the timeline and how it changes, why does it change while Naoto remember the past? And how does Naoto even knows Takamachi when in the original timeline they haven't even met? Another thing is that the characters don't really have a personality other then "the anime" how can they both dedicate so much time for the "investigation"

It's a movie which whenever I see i continue watching it till end. It shows the rural India so accurately ..so relatable...each and every cast members has delivered their best performance. No words for SRK ...love him always...ARR has given us a song which is gonna touch millions of heart for years to come. Ashutosh gowariker has gifted the country with a masterpiece which can hopefully do change of heart for many youngsters of present and coming generations and lead them to correct path. There are few scenes which stuck with you forever and mohan buying 25p water from a kid is one of them. Obviously just finished watching it again.

Well I've not read the books or played any games & all I knew of this was an odd glimpse of a bookshelf & then the recent teasers. Having then seen all the great reviews it seemed an absolute 'must watch', more so given the GOT references from some. Sat down to binge on it last night but managed only 20 minutes before reaching for the remote, it's certainly bright & glossy & had a fair few quid thrown but it plays like GOT's poorer cousin still waiting for the Universal Credit cash to arrive. More akin to Xena - Warrior Princess than GOT, overly made up with a TV Movie sheen & Henry's grunting was tussling with Bale's Batman for the most annoying vocal in a lead role. I've no doubt it'll be popular but it's got one of those 'classic' review scores which upon watching has you scratching your head asking WTF ?

Brilliant technical wizardry. Heady, at least apparently so. A ride more than a movie but a movie none the less. Chris Nolan is rapidly becoming the director of his generation and I'm longing to find out what is he trying to say. He has established his technical power again and again but if I think of "Memento" for instance I remember the gimmick but not what the story was really about. I suspect the same will be said of "Inception". I'm not putting down, I'm just wondering. I left the theater full of questions and nobody could actually give me any answers. I'm not talking about the plot but at the way Christopher Nolan chose to tell the story. Leonardo Di Caprio is acquiring some extra gravitas as an adult presence on the screen.Loved Cillian Murphy, I always do. Riveted by Tom Hardy. Enchanted by Marion Cotillard. Amused by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and delighted by Ellen Page. I wonder what Mr Nolan will do for an encore.

It's a pretty above average thriller movie. The story building part was great. It contained a lot of emotions (I mean a lot, I literally cried!). But the second half of the movie was not upto the expectation. It was suspenseful but after a while you tell what's going to happen. Overall a good movie but overrated imho.
6
The first two episodes were tedious but do yourself a favor and stick with it. We hit episode three and I was fully onboard.
8
outstanding thriller.. this movie will make you sit in your seat the whole time... one of a kind script.. and the acting is 10 on 10.. I am sure you will all love it... specially the fan,Gaurav... he will make you cry.... seriously this is best movie in a decade.. #goosebumps. Its a love story of a fan towards his favorite superstar. But unfortunately They are pitted against each other... perfect second half..every moment will make you "aww"... two character's are superbly done.. but the character of the fan is something better... you will miss him...right after the movie ends... all you will be able think about the next few days is him... i miss him right now,..so,, i guarantee you that it is worth it.. go watch the movie.. first by yourself.. then with your family.

Not that I don't like season 4, I just dont't like to see the big effort to make it good, if you understand what I mean. I admit though, that casting Jamie Bower was an excellent choice.
8
I just didn't get it. It's hard to see where the 100 million budget went to. I expected so much more than this film delivered. Lack of story, character building and action becomes painfully obvious when the credits roll on, that was it!?

In the beginning, i thought that it was a pure comedy movie. It was a bit slow in the beginning but later on it turned out to be a nice informative flick. Had a pinch of romance also. The movie tells us how some people help you in your bad times and how some are the other way. Khosla's role (played by Anupem Kher) was finely played and he was entertaining as ever. As the title suggests, the movie revolves around how khosla's try to get back their home from a bad guy. They try all means from being straight and then finally how they manage with other means to get back their plot. You can compare the title even with 'Lage Raho Munnabhai'. The movie is also very inspiring. Khosla had two sons, both tried their ways of getting back the plot and how the one ( computer engineer from IITD ( i saw him wearing IIT-DELHI T-shirt) ) makes a plan along with one of his Visa granting chap to get their plot back. Earlier they tried police, social groups and also wrestlers but all in vain. Police and even social workers were also up for money. Everybody, all khoslas and the bad guy did superb acting and portrayal of the society today. Overall, a great movie to watch with your family and kids.

I don't understand why this has eight stars? Sure, some of the shots were awesome and somewhat satisfying, acting was great but the plot itself was meh. The songs as well were forgettable. I wouldn't really recommend unless you have nothing else to watch.

Many people have covered much of what I admired (better integration of CGI) and disliked (his struggle which begins genuinely enough, then turns into parody) about this movie, so there is no need to repeat all that. However, I am appalled at how little "heat" there is between the two actors. Maguire does occasionally manage to put across desire and frustration, but Dunst just looks bored. The few times she put touched his face, her hands looked stiff and uncomfortable. Had I been MJ, I would at least caressed his face or hair a little, the way two people in love do.... With such little tension between them, it's hard to believe any sacrifice they made for each other was honest.

Too long and outrageous and ludicrous violence all done with poor acting but great CGI. Can't believe I watched the whole thing.

Too much backstory and wasted time instead of getting on with it. The first two seasons could easily have been one. Diego should've been killed off in first season he's very unlikeable and doesn't bring anything to the show. Certainly not an 8 rated shows. Great soundtrack though.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them suffers from a lack of story development and relies all too heavily on an overabundance of special effects. We spend an inordinate amount of time following our main characters chasing CGI creatures around and looking more like a Pokemon game than actually delivering anything that's terribly interesting as far as story development goes. The film looks great and the performances are solid but it is so lacking in the aforementioned that I found it increasingly tedious as the film dragged on. If you're dazzled by movies heavy on creatures and effects and don't care if its a bit light on story, you'll probably love this. But if you're looking for something that's going to deliver a compelling story that decides to get interesting some time before three-quarters of the way through the movie's two-hour running time, then you'll really need to look elsewhere. I give this five out of ten not because it's utterly terrible, it isn't, but it's just not interesting enough and I don't think it warrants the high scores people are giving it. There are far better films that rate that high.

"Only murders" is the epitome of a show that wants to mix crime with a (so-called) funny tone: It fails on both sides. Not funny nor suspenseful. I always loved Steve Martin's speeches but found his on-screen performances incredibly boring... That show is no different. Martin Short doesn't help either. It's half-baked, mostly unfunny, clumsy. The writing is far from top-notch, most of the jokes fall flat. But I have to say, Selena Gomez is so poised... I ended up watching the show because of her. I never thought she would have that presence and maturity. It's official, I'm in love.

man i saw mnik 2day n i was dumbstruck with what karan johar has done... i mean the way he presented the story, that has been told several number of times, actually took me by surprise,n offcourse the screenplay n cinematography is awesome.. u start seeing the movie there is not much to appreciate just normal comedy scene n sum really good acting.. n u know the plot of the story also, so y do u watch it further?? u ll watch it fr the way SRK has acted as KHAN, for the way kajol has shown us y she is the best in the business n for the humanity.. n above all u ll watch it fr the way a man who is very unnatural changes the world on his own.. i ll stand by my words..if this movie is properly marketed in USA n worldwide it will overshadow even AVATAR... in India it wont be a problem fr it to be the most loved n liked film.. go watch it for the sake of being a human...

I've been waiting to see this movie since it was announced and I got a chance to see this movie. You have to have read the book in order to understand what was going on. I'm happy they stuck to the material and followed a majority of the book but took some creative liberties with it. Did it ruin the movie? NO. I think it made it interesting. The only thing that grinds my gears is Nate Nash. In the book, he was 28! TWENTY EIGHT YEARS OLD. Here they make him like almost twenty years older. But I digress. I love the star power they got for this movie, J Law did a good job but, at times her Russian accent seems to fade in and out. Joel Edgerton did a good job as Nash, though not my first choice for the part. Jeremy Irons always stealing the spotlight whenever he can. Great work!! I don't want to go into details about everything that was changed or omitted. The bottom line is, I'm happy that a movie adaptation of a best seller stuck as close it can to the book. Brought a smile to my face, can't wait to see Palace of Treason to be brought to the screen next. Final score: 7/10

When the Witcher is great it really shines and when it does'nt it makes you wonder why some of the actors are so bad or why it's so hard to keep tack of the different timelines in the show. At times I had no idea of the story took place in the past or in the present and it got really annoying. Some of the actors were great some others kinda meh, I really never liked the queen of Cintra. The story is ok but not great. For ounce in my life I actually prefer the story in the videogames. So what's good? I would say Cavill as Geralt and the visual effect and the score was pretty nice to. The Witcher is an ok fantasy series that could have been so much better.

I'm not the guy to wright a review or give comment to one, but now i must do.. Everybody is talking about politics and so on, but remember this is only a series, not a biblican lecture. I live in Belgium (bad politics), but i was surpricingly amused with this spin off from the avengers. Okay a bit slow in the beginning, but building up the story and ep. 6 i was very satisfied with it. I understand there was a message into it, but i've seen hundreds of movies and series with messages in it. Use your imagination please........it's a fantasy story about the falcon and the winter soldier,....that's it !!!! No more, and no less. Enjoy, and i will be waiting for season 2 !!

Slightly inferior to part 1, but still a perfect continuation of the story. I enjoyed the beginnings of Vito Corleone played flawlessly by De Niro more than Michael's descent into ruthless mafia boss along with the impact on his two families, but both were still amazing examples of storytelling acted so well that you forget they are fictional characters. Today this movie alone would probably come out in three parts, it takes its time but is engaging throughout.

People are spamming 10/10 ratings because they liked it. It's probably the new trend in reviewing things these days. I'm sorry but this is just poor quality. It feels very cheap, like watching a b-series. The comparisons to the old Hercules show are not wrong. The only character I liked from the start was Yennifer. Dialogue is poor, the Bard annoys me the most. The only decent acting is done by the 3 main characters. The time jumps are annoying too, it's as if they didn't know how to keep your interest by telling a chronological story. The music score is forgettable and unoriginal. Even the Witcher himself bored me. Such an interesting dude, I know nothing about him. All the action scenes have no emotional weight. I think the first positive ratings are from all the book and game fans. I finally cancelled my Netflix subscription. The quality of all the movies and shows they're pumping out is becoming too avarage. It's good that there's more competition with the other streaming services. Netflix needs to wake up. I might come back later when they improved their service to my liking.

I LOVED season one and actually gave it the ratibg "8". I'm Now done with the last season and this season wasn't that fulfilling amd the ending was "meh". So I down rated it to 7. Maybe it should be 6 actually. But! If you love Marvel and love the Thor movies you should def. Watch this! Amazing actors and the first season is fire!! I really don't have that much more to say about this series, but I do have around 200 characters to write, so this Will be my last sentences: Loke the tv-series is worth a watch, but be aware for the last season. It's not the best of the Marvel series but it's good.

The title of my review is the sound this movie makes when played in reverse. It's just a long... slow... poorly written... massively disappointing... PPPBLLBLBPPLBPB!!! I loved (and I cannot emphasize this enough) LOVED the first movie. I went into this one with high hopes, looking forward to having a great time with my wife. I was disappointed. The characters were horribly written. The plot was... was there one? And the humor REALLY fell flat. It wasn't clever, wasn't funny, and wasn't epic. It was a raspberry.
