Why show-runner didn't care? Cast is so bad Triss Merigold was powerful mage in books and games and here she is like fish, Geralt of Rivia - bodybuilder. The plot of The Witcher is magnificent, but in Netflix show it suck. PS: Still have hope for season 2

Beautiful images and photography. True representation of equipment. A gripping story. I liked the idea of the three different time intervals in which the three layers are settled, even if they don't connect perfectly. I wonder whether young people who watch this film, especially boys, will be disgusted of war, or not. I'm afraid many of them would probably get fond of arms and airplanes.

As a WW2 buff I enjoyed the film but remain frustrated with the three way storyline, it just adds confusion to the film and doesn't help portray what actually happened at Dunkirk. The numbers on the beach also didn't get anywhere near the actual numbers involved, surely they could have CGI'd the additional numbers. Some coverage of the initial retreat would have been welcomed too. 6/10 but could have been so much better.

Too bad we can't find any Marvel superheroes to save this trainwreck. Scorsese's latest film, "The Irishman," claims to be a masterpiece, but unfortunately, it falls disappointingly short of expectations. Despite the star-studded cast and the celebrated director at the helm, the film feels trite and dated, offering little more than a rehashing of familiar mobster tropes and tired storytelling.
One of the most glaring issues with "The Irishman" is its excessive runtime. Clocking in at a staggering three and a half hours, the film suffers from a severe lack of editing and pacing. While Scorsese has previously shown his mastery in crafting compelling narratives within long runtimes, this film fails to justify its bloated length. Scenes that could have been trimmed or removed entirely drag on, making it a tedious viewing experience that tests the patience of even the most dedicated cinephiles.
Despite the considerable talent of the cast, which includes heavyweights such as Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci, their performances fail to elevate the material. De Niro, in particular, seems to be sleepwalking through his role as Frank Sheeran, lacking the energy and intensity he brought to similar characters in his earlier collaborations with Scorsese. Pacino's portrayal of union leader Jimmy Hoffa feels exaggerated and over-the-top, bordering on caricature, and Pesci's performance as mob boss Russell Bufalino lacks the menace and presence that made him so memorable in his past roles.
Furthermore, the narrative itself feels like a rehash of Scorsese's previous mobster films. While it is clear that the director is revisiting familiar territory, "The Irishman" adds nothing new to the genre. The themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the consequences of a life of crime have been explored extensively in Scorsese's previous works, and this film feels like a tired retread. The plot meanders aimlessly, lacking the tension and excitement that characterized Scorsese's earlier mob films like "Goodfellas" or "Casino."
The de-aging technology employed in the film is another element that fails to live up to the hype. While it is an ambitious endeavor, the CGI used to make the elderly actors appear younger is distracting and often unnatural. The characters' movements and facial expressions appear stiff and artificial, reminding the audience constantly that they are watching a visual effect rather than a believable performance.
In conclusion, "The Irishman" falls flat as a trite and dated addition to Martin Scorsese's illustrious filmography. With its excessive runtime, lackluster performances, and recycled themes, the film fails to live up to the director's previous masterpieces. While some may appreciate the nostalgia and the star-studded cast, it ultimately feels like a missed opportunity to deliver something fresh and innovative.

You've got to give it to the makers of this film, they certainly tried every trick in the book to wheedle reactions from viewers. A person with a disability who manages to triumph through the most extreme and traumatic situations thrown at him. Was this meant to be some sort of metaphor for "the American Dream", whereby citizens by rights should triumph through whatever adversity is thrown their way, coming out the other side richer and stronger? Give me a break - or at least, show it to me in an intelligent, thoughtful, non-manipulative way!
The scenes with Forrest intercut into historic footage were quite nice, though.

"Ford v Ferrari" isn't as much about the battle between the two mega-corporations in the title as much as it is about the fight between bureaucracy and action, calculations and instinct or faith and palpability. It involves internal struggles as much as external ones and carried superbly by its two leads, Matt Damon and Christian Bale--whose performance is Oscar-worthy--is one of the most likable, satisfying and entertaining movies of the year.
The plot heads towards an epic culmination at the 1966 24-hour Le Mans race in France and it involves the years in which Ford created the now legendary GT40 to finally beat Ferrari who has been dominating the racing realm of motoring for years. It follows car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and his driver, Ken Miles (Christian Bale) as they deal with the technical ins and outs, corporate interference and media standards navigating their vagaries to get to success. The movie is as old-school macho as its central characters. Shelby was an American maverick, always dressing like the boss he is, always determined to get the job done, but he was understanding of the business side. Miles, on the other hand, is as complicated as he is a brilliant driver. His approach to the world is stripped of formality, his driving is his religion and people should be as real as he is otherwise they become fodder for his unfiltered words.
James Mangold knew he was entering a world with high potential in entertainment when he approached this story. Whenever attempting to encompass American history, one tends to sensationalize through patriotism and venerate the people it contains. And indeed they are worthy of veneration. This plays out like standard Hollywood fare, the dream factory working its magic perfectly. But it's also very male-centric. Not only its characters look like they were made in a car factory, the women are also hysterical. A particular scene in which Ken's wife Mollie (Caitriona Balfe) has a nervous breakdown during an argument with Ken about him hiding his plan to work on the new GT40 is a bit exaggerated. As they are in their family car, she starts driving erratically and dangerously, the scene playing like an interrogation scene. "I thought we loved this stuff!"--she yells until Ken spits everything out. Yet in the end, she is fine with it, she just wished he hadn't lied. Her worries are understandable and called for, but her over-the-top reaction Mangold decided upon is obsolete as representation for women--even if this was the 1960s.
In the end, though, "Ford v Ferrari" finishes with just the right amount of satisfaction. While both characters are likable and Bale's performance rules, Matt Damon's portrayal of Carroll Shelby is what really made me up this movie's grade. He is perfect as men who try to get the job done but also not upset anyone too much. His approach to Ford's CEO, Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts) on why he should get a second chance after losing in 1965's Le Mans is as elegant as it is harsh and true. Even if "Ford v Ferrari" seems a bit outdated it is nonetheless a movie which really wants to be liked--not only by car people, but by everyone. Well, it succeeded.

I thought this was really good, I usually find the time travel trope in sci-fi cheap and annoying but this was interesting. The premise and plot were interesting and well thought through and in the most part the characters and acting were really good. Except that is, for Sophia Di Martino who plays Sylvie; she was terrible, what a crap actor, so wooden and amateurish it really pulls you out of the moment. Fortunately her bad performance didn't drag things down too far.

I enjoyed the movie somewhat. It was a nice telling of the bond that can be formed between humans and animals. However i found the movie a slow burn and was uninterested by the end of it. That and the fact he fell of the mountain twice and ONLY broke a foot which he walked / ran on right afterwards... sure he cracked it back in place and made some support for his foot, doesn't mean he can really use it.
He makes his way all the way back up the cliff he was flicked off... In the cold, with a broken leg, hungry and parched from murky water, but walked up a 500ft tall mountain... and soon after he fights and gets his leg bitten by wolves, then carries the wolf, which would be a really hard feat in the first place back to shelter.

Kaithi is an Indian Tamil film.
It is a movie that you can watch when you have time and want to get entertained.
It is not exceptional and it is not bad also.
The action set pieces are good but sometimes a little bit fuzzy.
It is a really grounded movie with grounded dialogues.
It basically portrays corruption in the system and how people get involved in them.
To story is just based on one night full of incidents that take place.
The performances are great.
The score is really awesome.
The plot is also good.
Overall it is a good watch but also it is important because it is the first chapter of a greater storytelling.

It's ok, it's a kind of movie style I like, but the story doesn't impress me.

This movie should be morphed into a cartoon for kids 7-10 years old. I can't believe that people are allowed to spend so much money making trash like this. And that we still go to see it. Heartless acting ridiculous screenplay and dialogue. Poor production, could barely understand what anyone was saying but so what ....what they were saying we've heard in every other film of this type anyway. And the scene development was chaos. I never knew what was happening or why. When the cops attacked Bane's men who were armed with automatic weapons as opposed to the cops with flashlights and steel bars what a joke, they never fired their weapons!. My advise is don't go to see this shovelled manure anymore at the theaters for $9-12 ea. Rent it if you really need to see it. Also how much of a weepy Michael Caine can anyone take?

Engaging, exciting, tense, mysterious, and the music is very good!

Forced myself to get through E01. Temped to fast forward to the ending hoping to see the apocalypse CGI since there's literally no one to care about. Seems to be a writing/direction disconnect leaving the lead actors to mug incessantly at odd moments and attempt their own interpretation of how the misplaced script was supposed to be read. Example? How about the screechy intoxication scene. What the hell?! Done.

THIS SERIES PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN OUR DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF LOKI.
THE CHARACTER IS NOT ONLY WHAT IT APPEARS, BUT MUCH MORE.
FANTASTIC CAST AS WELL AS THE SCRIPT.
RATING 7.5
TWISTS AND TURNS ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

I don't think the writers have ever spoken to a real woman. Horrific dialogue, banal jokes, bad cgi and easily an hour too long. I kept checking how long was left to endure.
On paper could have been great but simply complete trash.

It was so hard to watch the series listening to this Alexa/Sir Voice.. But the series itself was great!

After watching this movie yesterday, I'm still struck dumb. The plot, action and acting was so mindless, the whole thing is just killing everyone and everybody; it is made by a person who plays lots of violent computer games. This genre can be very good if reason for revenge is believable. I loved Matrix movie and I only went to see John Wick because of Keanu R., but I can not understand why he took this role. People say this movie has a good sense of humor but I missed it somehow. It's just 2 hours of total violence, shooting and killing. For some reason Hollywood lately has to include women killers who are as much ruthless as men killers are. This is not women's lib. I don't get it neither.

There is no real story/plot in this movie. It is going nowhere and just seems to be a lot of random namedropping. I sort of get the feeling that Tarantino wanted to make a Coen brothers movie and failed. Good acting though, and good set/costume/props which is why I give it 4 Stars.

I didn't like this one that even though i'm a fan of the avenger movies.

Missing the carnage in this movie. A movie that has carnage in the title and there is no carnage is a major fail. Yeah i know that the character carnage is in the movie, but come on! At least we have deadpool and logan.. will watch those again.

Very good action movie from Netflix. Theres never really any quiet moments and although the story is quite simplistic the movie doesnt hesitate in getting straight in with the action. If you're looking for 2 hours of gunfire and explosions mixed with some pretty good acting look no further...
| 7 |
The fish god looks different in literally every scene and the entire time I was so confused and concerned. Honestly, it's a cool story, it's just very concerning and very strange.

I did have high hopes for this one. Stone and Gosling are likable and have charisma and are certainly not lacking in talent but despite feeling Stone got the emotional range of the character right and feeling bad for her at her lowest moments overall the movie doesn't work for me. Maybe had it not been a musical it would have worked better. I didn't feel they got the singing and dancing down pat it was a weakness . Stone is good in so many things and Gosling has proven he has more range and a flair for comedy so it's not something I say with any pleasure .I just feel it missed too many marks . I also don't have a problem with the ending it's not something I felt ruined the whole movie or like some feel it was good until we knew how they ended up. I actually thought it made more sense that way.

This is when Pacino still tried to be human, though right after 'Serpico'. This is in his pre-DePalma days.
That and the plot itself are needless in this case. As with the original, crime drama plots follow similar story topics. The differences lie in the acting, editing, characters, and camera.
The editing here is less refined, trying to be Kubrick when this is Coppola. It isn't ponderous, but it's a contradictory style--much like 'The Thin Red Line'.
The camera is the same as before, not trying to do anything we haven't seen. Even Frankenheimer's 'Manchurian Candidate' contains more visual fluency than this effort.
The characters/acting are where the giant U-turn occurs this time. This has no basis on Puzo's book, but is completely constructed in Coppola's mind and in the actors' presentation. Are these rational steps being made? Most aren't.
The biggest surprise--DeNiro as Brando. In a context like this (instead of vice-versa), the range is almost unlimited. Coppola is one of few directors to use Brando effectively, as 'Apocalypse' would prove, and here DeNiro does his best work. Everything after this (Scorsese's works, 'Deer Hunter', 'Heat') becomes useless. In those cases he is bored. In 'Untouchables' he's energetic. Here--he's duplicating a master.
For that reason alone you should see this. See 'Apocalypse Now' after this to see Coppola do the real cinematic deal.
Final Analysis = = Midrange Material

Basically this movie is similar to the 1985 movie "Clue" but with a much better cast and a bit more funnier than the other. No spoilers here and if you want to be mildly entertained than it's for you. I rated this an eight because of decent acting throughout otherwise this would have went belly up. The movie itself has some twists and turns but not enough to throw you off track. I did like the setting and the sets as well as the characters this time around. Enjoy it if you watch it but don't hope for too much.

Golden paint does not work. Pretentious. Bad acting. It sucks.

There's a certain elegance in this show that is fascinating, I am obsessed with it.

Not possible to avoid comparison with Game Of Thrones - and this one has no development, they plot conflicts out of nowhere, everything happens with no reason or whatsoever.
Very poor work offered because they know people will watch anyway. No attention to the characters constructions, the time passes and the actors do not carry particularities to connect with the same standard with the past. In general the phography is good and the construction well done, just seems that they are not willing to give you something with the same standard of complications we had in Game of thrones at first.
To summarize, this one does not carry the same level at all.

Just like a daytime soap opera for 90 mins then a drama for last 30mins! I want to be entertained for the whole movie ! Big yawn

Too many plot holes, poor dialogues. I honestly don't understand why this is getting such good ratings, nor why I watched it to the end.

I don't understand how one of the most talented actors disciplined in the arts, who has starred for directors like Jim Jarmuch, who has studied in the best schools for theater in the world, who knows what art is and what is meaningless, manages to play in a film about teenagers and people who do not even come close to his cultural level. Shame on you Tom Hidelston.
You know you've hit a low point when you end up in the marvel universe.

Yes there were some questions. But the movie was entertaining.

There's no doubting that the Brits do this kind of gritty police drama better than anyone else. Great, engaging and flawed central character, with lots of real human traits - that make him both likeable and worrying. Temptation, seduction, power, betrayal and guilt in bucket loads, dosed with equal amounts of murder and mayhem. But... all done at suitable drawn out and nail biting pace. Tension is really strung out and works well to keep you on your seat each and advance the plot. A little too clever in a few places, which breaks your suspension of disbelief, but otherwise 'golden'.

Loved the hipster vibe and soundtrack to this show, the lead character is likeable and I LOVE her accent ! Really enjoyed to concept but my only niggle was the ending could of explained more

100% spoiler-free.
This is my 3rd time watching this film. Noticed it is on Netflix so I decided to watch it again.
The story was written mostly fine except when it comes to the biggest thing the happens with the protagonist; I wish it had been presented in a better way.
The movie starts out amazing due to its own uniquely funny comedy; it felt like comedy you would see in a comic book. Loved the beginning. Unfortunately, the movie later completely abandons all comedy and only focuses on the plot and fighting scenes. The fight with the two assassins was really cool. The second-to-last battle was decent. The final battle could have been better written and choreographed. The ending was satisfactory although it bugged me how a completely broke person can afford to open a *blank*; but the ending was still good for me.
The acting I thought was good in general. The protagonist was forgettable but overall the chosen cast were appropriate and I have no complaints.
Conclusion: this is a good film that definitely deserves a watch. The plot has one major flaw in my opinion which has to do with the protagonist. The comedy was super funny to me and I was disappointed they stopped going forward with the comedy and explicitly focused on furthering the plot and fight scenes. The special effects were cool. The fight scenes were cool but the final battle left me wishing for more creativity and better choreography. I dropped 2 stars due to the lack of further comedy and the need of better fighting scenes. I would watch a sequel though in a heartbeat!
8/10

It's like they tried so hard to make us dislike the show, ( and succeeded)

Every week I check IMBD to see if the rating for this unwatchable piece of junk is the same or not! How come? Who on earth? Rated it 8.6 ?!!? El Cucu ? Grief eater? Buggy man ? Is this made to entertain kids or dummies ?! Low grade actors , nonsense plots, I would just call it pure bullsh**!!!!

I finished watching the first episode, what a crazy ride! I played the first video game long ago and really enjoyed it, so I was happy to hear HBO was going to make a tv series. From what I remember, the show is following the game's plot pretty closely as well. Pedro Pascal is a awesome actor and I think great fit for Joel Miller. Bella Ramsey as Ellie also looks like a good fit.
I'm exited to see how this series will play out over the next few months, I plan to watch every week. The first episode had lots of action, character development and plot backstory that will likely grab a large audience, it almost reminds me of how the walking dead started out.

To really appreciate this series you need to know couple of things.
1. Author of this series originally drew this series in order to learn new manga drawing software he purchased. So you will see lot of silly and or in some cases stupid things, but as he went series got more and more popular and ended up being a one of the most popular anime/manga in the japan.
2. There is two version of manga one is made by original author and other one is illustrated by professional manga artist. So there is big gap between the two. You see, more serious Saitama was a creation of second artist and humorous, silly face of Saitama was created by original author, so both of them ended up mashing their talent and artistic sense to create one of the kind anime we see today.

We already have see many pubg stream. No need to adopt it in movie. Fighting sence is good, garbage story.

Sandra bullock was good in this movie and she got my attention unfortunately this movie leave me unfulfilled with the mysterious villain who bent on destroying the world

If you like Xena, you will probably like this one too. The target audience is young teens, it seems, with poor 3D and cheap dressed up characters.

Movie is so good that we have almost decided to watch it second time on next weekend.
There are so many minor details in the movie which people miss while watching first time.
There is reference to Gondia district in the movie which i noticed but someone may have missed.

Since I'm deeply in love with the books, I was prepared to be disappointed by the tv show, since I'm aware that it's close to impossible to translate a book into another format. However, I was not prepared for the tv show to have changed EVERYTHING, from the story, to the focus and to the characters. It's like the people making this show had read the back of the books and decided that that was all the information they needed. It's a complete train wreck.
If you like the books, DON'T watch this show!

The worst attempt at an English accent by Ryan Not many yanks can do it anyway The usual high action one liner Hollywood movie

If you have to fill space with nudity how about both genders. I'm sick of women being nude to make a show interesting. Boring. Henry's a dreamboat which is why I watch. But he still couldn't pronounce heir correctly. Also it's like watching Xena and Gabriel wandering the land but without the awesome storyline and violence. 3 for Henry.

I tried man, I tried.
Went on a date to see it, and I remember showing up, sitting down, and then the next think I knew, I was awoken by the final scream from Venom at the end, and then the credits showed up. I was blown away that I slept through most of it.
I would give it another shot, but there are enough people making super hero movies and enough audience members to enjoy it themselves. I have too many movies on my watchlist.
Not worth it.

Not interesting at all. Watch it only if you like the people in it.

I enjoyed the first movie but this one sucks. It takes a while to get going but it never gets exciting. It was a waste of 2 hours. Netflix is losing subscribers and movies like this is the reason why. Hollywood can throw a bunch of A list actors in a movie, but if the story sucks then it's wasted potential. Edward norton is known for changing the script in movies and is selective about taking roles. I am surprised that he would participate in this garbage.
If you enjoyed the first movie then just rewatch it and skip out on this. Bad plot,humor,acting,pacing,and characters. This is a parady movie of the first one. Imagine a mystery version of the 2007 film" Epic Movie".

It's short and does not even have a well taken horror scene.I hate the way they did this.Seriously,who would want to watch a comedy-horror kind in conjuring universe?!They forgot the whole point of the series
| 3 |
The acting is fantastic but it isn't even close enough from keeping you from walking out of this trash. I have No Idea how Anyone could have rated this movie a 10 and that leads me to believe that IMDB's ratings aren't what I had believed they were. If you believe the hype then wait till you can stream it for free because if you have to pay even a dollar, you will really miss your dollar. How this artsie crap can hold anyone's attention for more than 15 or 20 minutes is beyond me. And, by the way, I only kept watching in the hopes that the movie would take off...but it never got off the ground.

We just finished binge watching the whole season (each episode is only 30 minutes). While Samoa Joe/Will Arnett brought such a coolness to "Sweet Tooth"! This show was really entertaining and fun to watch. Anthony Mackie is pure gold! The rest of the cast was perfectly placed in their roles! And "Quiet", well she made every female watching wanna kick ass! Is there violence, blood, bad language, etc... yeah, but it all comes together with comedy so it's very Deadpool-like. If you have Peacock, I'd recommend trying a couple of episodes but be prepared to stay for the ride! I can't wait for Season 2!!
| 8 |
Fun, enjoyable, and overall worth watching.
It's a little jumpy with the timeline, kind of a cliche as a whole, but it's a fun film. Would compare to a less superhero-version of iron man mixed with Deadpool humor. Worth a watch.

Certainly the Marmite syndrome ..... reviews have a definite pattern of wow, wow, no! I fall into the no, this is awful camp. Maybe because I love the old musicals I hate La La Land. It's trying to ram the old style musical down your throat forgetting to add in talking for the benefit of building a story. One of those were I took up knitting, tapestry, encouraging monkeys in their efforts to type Shakespeare in order to distract my self from this film.

Orange filters and shaky cameras- simply horrible Couldn't even get past 5 mins.

The main characters somehow manages to make me want her to die horrible and painfully. Ive cheered for mass murderers and psychopaths but this main characters is not riveting you get repulsed rather then fascinated by her particular type of broken/flawed.
The actual story is why i finished the tv show, sadly the ending is a big letdown
| 5 |
Having read some of the reviews and with a cast of first rate actors/actresses I thought I would be in for an entertaining evening - alas no - weak science - little characterization - emotionally flat - dealt with a number of themes but in no detail - almost cartoonish at times - it was however nicely shot - I left wondering what Soderbergh was trying to show me - yes it was pleasant not to watch Hollywood hyperbole but the trouble was there was nothing in its place - overall the very dull documentary approach left me cold - I think it must be Soderbergh's style as I didn't find Traffic very entertaining either. Would I recommend anyone to see it - if you liked Traffic probably - if not then you will find better entertainment elsewhere.

Everyone was praising this movie but honestly the ending was really bad for me. Maybe it's because I don't know much about that stuff about dimensions and other things mentioned. But honestly it really disappointed me. And in the whole movie there was too much physics so if you don't know it well you probaby wouldn't understand most of the things.
The other thing that was useless was the whole thing about love. It didn't fit well into the theme of the movie and it was unnecessary.

Bad story writing and story telling, what a shambles that strays from the foundations that FB1 set up and completely disregards points from Harry Potter canon. Too many characters randomly introduced that you don't care about, and don't hold significance to the HP story. This movies intent was solely to set up a bigger money making franchise and forgets to tell a story on its own.
| 2 |
Strong candidate for the worst movie of the year. Horrible casting; Where the hell did they spend that budget? And in the end it's a racist movie for morons. Had to go out after about 80' coudn't stand longer...

From the graphics to the dialog he everything was off.

Well, frankly it is easy to binge, short 8 episodes put online altogether. It feels a little bit weird kind of a "chumscrubber" or "thumbsucker" movie (if you're familiar with it) but a bit longer, with different story arcs of course.
Actors are fantastic, story is simple and beautiful. This is definitely something refreshing, quick and beautiful to watch. I like the vibe, I like dialogues, the episodes flow so easily it's just a pure joy to watch.
This is really done in the best tradition of some cynical teen drama movies, it has more elaborate scenes and more twisted story because its not a film format. Well I'm not going to talk about the plot, will just say 2 crazy 17 years old embark on the road trip to escape their everyday setting and things happen, very road trippy things.
Enjoy

I really don't understand what all the hype is about for this episode. I was recommended to watch the show and had heard raving reviews about it so decided to give it a watch. It just seems like another run of the mill walking dead style zombie series with no redeeming qualities.
It's incredibly slow with boring predictable characters with zero plot twists or dramatic climaxes whatsoever. I find it unbelievable that a truly mind numbingly dull episode could be rated up there with some of the greats.
It's a sad reflection of the entertainment age we're living in to see something so mediocre be considered so great. Feels like everyone has forgotten the potential series like this have to be remarkable - but this like warm dribble misses the mark by a country mile if the first episode is anything to go by.

Sometimes you could see that they were creating a show, but enjoyd it though.

I skipped this movie whole time because it's too lagging and easily predictable. It's routine overrated movie.

"American Made" is based on the true story of Berry Seal, who becomes a mule for both the CIA running guns to Nicaragua, and for the Narcos running Cocaine to America. This is an interesting part of recent American history, but at the end of the film, I find myself asking: what was the point?
The movie does a great job of informing its audience about the underhanded details of the operation. It is told from the point of view of Tom Cruise's Berry Seal. The main problem stems from having Berry as the protagonist of the story. A lot of the story he is just kind of going with the flow. CIA tells him to do this, he says "sure". Then the Narcos tell him to do something else, "fine". The focus isn't much on the suspense of him being caught in the crime, it is more on the escapism of imagining having all of this money and not knowing what to do with it. This can be entertaining, but after a while, the novelty wears off.
All the actors involved put in a good performance. The movie has good pacing, there doesn't feel like any time is wasted. And it has a unique, dark and cynical sense of humor about the whole thing.
A lot of people seem to like it, it just isn't for me. It is entertaining and informative. I simply found myself actively rooting against our main character. Made in the USA...huh, no thank you.

As a fan of horror movies I found that movie not that scary yea there were some good jumpscares but the overall story of the movie wasn't that scary. If you are one of those people that gets scared easily then don't be that reluctant to watch it because it is not that scary

Only a person who lives in eastern Europe will understand this movie Honestly you all have to watch it And don't believe the one-star rating Is not the ordinary spy movie and is not action-packed Bond and Bourne and Agent Salt type of movie I personally don't like Jennifer Lawrence as acres but here she is great I was very surprised and this is the reason I write this here I know that is not comprehensive review but you all really need to watch it And if you have some brain you going to like it If not go wach Avengers

Renting this movie, I was hopeful based upon the Golden Globe awards, it's Oscar nods and the critical buzz it had received. After sitting through it all I can say is "The emperor is naked!" I'd like to go along with all the positive buzz and praise that has gone on, but to do so would be perpetuating the ruse. So like the little boy who didn't know how to lie, I'll repeat "The emperor is naked!"

My son informed me tonight that the reason I was confused by this film is that a missed a previous Avengers movie. I try to enjoy these comic book movies and am always astonished how personally people take them. In this one, we are treated to so many characters with different skills and agendas that it is hard to know who to pull for, who is lugging around guilt, and who some of them even are. I was told there is character development. I don't see it. The milieu into which these persons are thrust seems to be so tilted that they really need to keep working. Lets face it. If there are casualties when they ply their individual trades, imagine the carnage without them. Of course, I had all I could do to figure out which side they are on. I guess "Civil War" means that they are fighting among themselves in their own universe. What are the motivations? My son also informed me that there are at least a dozen or more superhero films coming out in the next two years. Good God! I love a plot where a villain has created some malevolent thing that only special powers can stop. It would be nice if there weren't a tidal wave of superheroes.

They have 'showed' us what will happen. They have 'showed' us what will be made. Everything was the same except the cure. It was better than now.

This movie was amazing!!!!!!..... wish they had a Rated R. Version to experience the character Carnage in live action the way he should be but it is what it is but I gave it the highest rating because I was you so happy to see these two together brought to life definitely a childhood dream come true .... Would have picked actor Cameron Monaghan as Carnage ...but wow I was on my feet....and stay for end credit scene.... definitely a must see !!!

Kaithi begins with a superbly economical setup. A team of cops, headed by Bejoy (Narain), has confiscated a record amount of cocaine, which is hidden in a secret cell under the commissioner's office. The drug mafia manages to put almost every police officer in the place under sedation by spiking their drinks. The injured Bejoy, has to enlist Dilli, a life-term prisoner who has just stepped out of jail on parole and is hoping to finally meet the daughter he has never seen, to save the situation. Meanwhile, a few college students find themselves stranded in the commissioner's office with a line constable for company, and prevent the gangsters from breaking in and rescuing their boss.
Lokesh Kanagaraj gives us all this in the first 20 minutes of Kaithi, a tense, impressively shot (Sathyan Sooryan is the cinematographer) action thriller. The director gives us a pure genre film minus the frills, like songs and romance, that we are used to in Tamil cinema. Even though we get two hours of action scenes, we hardly feel exhausted (the excellent action choreography is by Anbariv). Like in a video game, Dilli has to cross challenges of varying difficulty as he transports the cops to safety. We get different kinds of stunts - a chase, a couple of fist fights and just when they seem to be getting monotonous, a glorious shootout. The fact that the entire film happens in the night gives it a unique flavour, as we are unsure what danger lurks in the dark.
Lokesh also comes up with an interesting bunch of characters, like the temperamental brother of the gangster (Arjun Dass), the intrepid constable (George Mariyan), the resourceful students, the spies in both the camps and the expectant daughter. The performances are solid all around. Narain lends the right amount of vulnerability, Dheena, as the hapless young lorry owner, adds some moments of levity, while Karthi, whose beefed up look feels like Dilli could be a slightly older version of Paruthiveeran, puts up a muscular performance. He also moves you in the scene where he narrates his past in a lengthy shot.
If there is a fault, it is that the film feels overlong for its genre, with a couple of action blocks getting over-indulgent. But when it is action that we have signed up for, we cannot complain much about that.

The combination of realism and horror based in truth makes this an all time great, but unnerving to watch.

While casting good actors, this is a murder of Conan Doyle's original creation made to work for the modern generation of "the stupid". While cinematicly interesting and attractive for the people who have never read a book a day, or even a book a month, as most Ritchie's films are (I love Lock Stock too), this take on the classic is a step too far.
Jude Law is great as Watson, i never doubted that character in his hands (similar to Russian Solomin who played Watson brilliantly, with a healthy dose of humour too), Robert Downey is the usual American take on a superhero, despite of Ritchie's UK heritage, he comes across very far from the character Doyle created. I like Robert Downey too, normally, as an actor, but he';s gone quite a few notches down in my popularity list after making this but not to discredit him too much, Ritchie's whole idea to modernise Holmes stories for the new "internet generation" or illiterat6e people who have never held a book in their hands is rather shallow and pathetic (or pedantic as peter Griffin would say), especially for those who love Conan Doyle's books, as most of US remakes of classics are. I am sure i will be disagreed with, especially by those who have not read those books until the pages worn off....
When you grow up as a kid, reading every Sherlock Holmes story 30-50 times, because they are brilliant (and the main reason for myself to immigrate to UK 16 years ago from Ukraine), you begin to realise how bad the modern films (based on classic books) are, making them "interesting" and "exciting" for the new generations, but he might as well have made it in the 80's, with Arnie and Sly, as the main characters and are packed with cool special effects, destroying the original stories. I could moan about it for ages, but i guess if i were an 18 year old boy who has never read a true classic book (or a book of any kind) about Holmes, i would have rated it a lot higher, 6-7/10 perhaps, but luckily I know it came nowhere near portraying true great stories and characters, so it was a huge disappointment to me. I wonder what my dear Stephen Fry (big fan of Holmes/Doyle) would think of this atrocity
I have only 1 review published, out of 4 I wrote for IMDb, so this probably won't see the light of day anyway, but for all those with a bit of brain in them, avoid this, if you have any respect for the original great books/characters
To be absolutely objective though (hence 2/10, instead of 1/10), the visuals, the action movie setup, Guy Ritchie's usual fun bits and the cast, it's OK :), but the stories were raped and completely re-interpreted to get a hit at box office. awful, simply awful, made me completely rethink my liking of Guy's movies

Farhan Akhtar Is Perfect For This Role. The Movie Is Biopic Based On Major Milkha Singh. Also movie covered milkha story & india pakistan war. Very relatable to india pakistan seperation. Songs are also very good covering enthusiasm, fights to life, Romance, Love & Courage.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag will have you captivated with its grit and enigma. Made with panache, it's hard to take your eyes off Farhan Akhtar, who enriches Milkha Singh as a surreal charismatic figure beyond the realms of flesh and blood!
The Bhaag Milkha Bhaag cast also includes Yograj Singh, father of former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh. The movie is based on Milkha Singh's autobiography, 'The Race of my Life.

I know I'm gonna get downvotes but who care.
Story is weak nothing so dramatic happening. If your want a strong content with grip then this is not for you as nothing is new.
And ending is so weak. Nothing happened just ended.
And if you're a fan then I'm sure you've watched it. It is good as YouTube videos but not as a proper series.

Overall great show that is worth watching. I only have two complaints. The lead character annoyed me and I found myself not caring about what happened to her. I'm not sure if she was purposely written this way, but I found myself just tolerating her for the story, which was mostly great. This leads me to my second complaint, the ending. It wasn't bad. It was just a "yeah that's fine I guess" type of thing, which is not what I had hoped for after such a great story up until than. These two complaints are still well worth putting up with to watch the show. Also, Nick Offerman nailed his role in this.

I guess I'm too young for this movie. I absolutely had no idea about all of the names that are mentioned in this movies (also not sure if they're fictional names). I give it a 5 only for the acting. The plot? No. Wait.. was there a plot? This movie would've been so much better if it based on true story kind of film, but it's not.

In preparation for its sequel, I decided to re-watch 'Now You See Me (2013)' for the first time since its initial release. To be honest, it doesn't hold up and isn't a very good movie. It's alright, but nothing special. It thinks it's way smarter than it actually is, its direction is pretty disorientating, its unnecessary plot twist makes no sense retroactively, its characters aren't developed enough and its magic (as well as the film as a whole) is painfully fake and unrealistic. There are a couple of good scenes, but I wouldn't watch it again and the experience is largely forgettable.
The film follows a group of magicians, who rob banks during their live stage shows, and the FBI agent tasked with bringing them down. This is a fairly interesting premise, I admit, but the movie fails to deliver on the potential of its story. The 'Four Horsemen' are initially all low-level street performers before they are each given a tarot card by a mysterious hooded figure. This leads them to discover the blueprints to a series of high-end magic tricks. All of this takes place before the opening title (which appears around thirteen minutes into the picture), setting up the rest of the plot. Unfortunately, the 'Horsemen' are largely excluded from the rest of the piece. By that I mean that, aside from a select few scenes, they are seen mainly on stage and we instead focus on the people trying to stop them. This weird perspective shift starts off slowly, but then builds to a point at which the 'Horsemen' are no longer the centre of attention and, therefore, no longer relatable. Since we are mostly at a distance from them, it makes it hard to care what they are doing and even harder to root for them. I think that the filmmakers were trying to instil a sense of awe, to make us feel like we are literally in the audience of one of the characters' shows, but they kind of failed. It doesn't help that the characters' motivations are very weak, as they are simply blindly following instructions given to them. The plot takes a few twists and turns but none of them truly amount to anything. The main twist, revealed at the end, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and is totally superfluous. It feels incredibly redundant, and it's no where near as clever as the filmmakers think it is. It feels very unearned as there are no clues during the film; the reveal is impossible to predict. It is genuinely pointless and stupid, making no sense retroactively. The scenes involving the character in question all fall apart when you know their true nature. It's completely nonsensical that they'd even be involved in the events of the plot. Their motivations are somewhat clear, though their actions are improbable and contrived, and in the end the twist tears the logic of the movie apart.
The direction is pretty bad here, too. I don't understand why the director (Louis Leterier) felt the need to be constantly moving the camera. He almost always spins the camera around his characters, to the point where it is nearly nauseating. It really gave me a sense of motion sickness, comparable to a Michael Bay flick, and made the film very hard to follow visually. It also cuts incredibly often, and each of these cuts feels very jarring. The average shot length must only be a couple of seconds at the most. The action scenes rely on shaky-cam and even quicker editing to make them work. Another thing that's annoying is the lack of practical magic on display. Sure there are a few 'legitimate' tricks here or there, but the majority are absolutely ludicrous. For example, one involves the 'Horsemen' creating giant CGI bubbles with their hands, before a member dives into one and floats. The picture takes liberties with the power of mentalism and hypnotism, too, often relying on suggestion and preconditioning for some tricks involving 'randomly selected' people. It also makes the FBI look pretty incompetent, as they fail to see through some ruses which would be very obvious upon closer inspection.
The acting here isn't terrible, though the actors do have to work with the material they are given. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine are great as always (a scene involving the two was one of the highlights of the flick), but they are bogged down by a heavy-handed and on-the-nose screenplay - not to mention the fact that Caine's character disappears from the movie for no real reason. Freeman's character is largely there to provide exposition, explaining to the audience how some of the 'magic' is done in brief flashbacks, though he often feels omniscient. Mark Ruffalo does what he can, bringing the best performance from any of the leads, but his character is quite unlikable and fairly clichéd. The 'Four Horsemen' (consisting of Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco) are criminally underdeveloped and stereotypical. Each of them is an archetype commonly seen in film, and commonly seen in their own filmography. The first twenty to thirty minutes are awful, as its scenes are all conventional and its dialogue is tiring (it attempts to set up a history, and several personalities, but ends up feeling quite trite). There are a couple of entertaining chase scenes, though, and a fight scene that is as enjoyable as it is dumb. Plus, some of the middle act is actually engaging.
Overall, 'Now You See Me (2013)' is a ridiculous and largely forgettable film that tries to be too smart for it's own good. Its twists and turns are irrelevant and nonsensical, and its characters are stereotypical and underdeveloped. The film isn't terrible, but it isn't great, either. It picks up a little in its second act, maintaining a fast pace and having a few enjoyable sequences. Ultimately, though, it's nothing more than average. It's entertaining enough to warrant a watch if it sounds interesting to you, but nothing to intentionally seek out otherwise: 5/10.

Ledger's joker nothing special, no better than Nicholson! Grossly overhyped and overrated. If a film is good, I will remember something about it, even years later. The only thing I remember about this is the joker was violent and murderous. The film was not enjoyable in the least.

This show is very much like "Wayne", but the British version. God I wish there was a third season.

While watching the movie progress through the "lenses of cameras in our daily life" was clever the script had so, so many holes. The performances of the actors felt pretty thin. Perhaps better production would have given better results. If the script, acting and production work had been better this ploy would have come off as ingenious. Instead it feels like a low budget cost saving money grab.

Its a Kate Winslet show all the way. And what a mind blowing performance, she just defines acting in this role. There is a definite "Happy Valley" hangover in this series. Happy Valley is a cop raising a grandson single handedly in a area with drug problems and trying to solve abduction of a teenage girl. Here you have Kate Winslet a detective raising a grandson again in a drug infested area and trying to solve lost teenage girls and a dead one. Happy Valley does not have the thriller or suspense element after initial episodes and its more of a emotional rollercoaster which is where this series differs. The suspense and thrill is maintained till the end and I am glad to say unlike other series they don't drag a 2-episode series to 7, they really had content for 7 episodes.

Finally started to watch Nolan's Batman trilogy and i'm really dissapointed. I thought it was head over Avengerslike movies,but actually Avengers just better in everything. Like, clowny Homecoming two heads over this movie. Dark Knight is just empty, stupid and boring. Nothing really interesting with Joker, no single scene. It looks like a dull 18+parody on Dawn of Justice, it's not even comparable. Stupid movie for stupid people, liked by "critics" who as much stupid as the audience itself. This is popcorn film for kids, Dawn of Justice is cinematography. You know, to tell the truth there more notable moments in Batman and Robin 1997, and this is disgusting, that such a movie gets the attention.

Note: I have seen season 1-2, and I have no intention of watching further if the show is renewed for another season.
This show is extremely successful in presenting The Punisher as portrayed in the comics. The character is very relatable, but in his most violent moments, he becomes an unrelatable monster. This is extremely accurate for the character, and I give this show lots of praise for being able to capture that. I also really love how the lighting was changed to cast shadows on Frank's face that perfectly captures the comic book imagery.
Season 1 - This series has an excellent story and conclusion with some fantastic acting from Berenthal (Punisher). My only true complaint is that the story line for Revah's character (Agent Medani) seemed drawn out to a point where it nearly broke my immersion in the show. I believe that if this show was only approved for 8-10 episodes instead of the full 13, then it would probably be my favorite Marvel Netflix series. I highly recommend that you stop watching after season 1. 8/10
Season 2 - Completely negates and ruins the well-crafted conclusion to season 1. The continuation of the old story is terrible (aside from episodes 7 & 8), and unfortunately that takes up most of the screentime, so that means most of season 2 is just rubbing in your face how badly they screwed up the story. Plus the doctor is a complete idiot for no discernible reason. The new story is interesting, so they could have possibly made a 5-6 episode series covering that and writing out the continued story. Though it's certainly not as satisfying as season 1, so it still wouldn't necessarily be worth watching. 4/10
*Potential spoilers below*
Season 2 finale - One story is given a beautifully poetic conclusion that is immediately reneged just to fill the episode's runtime. But the other story has tons of potential for a hard-hitting emotional conclusion that is completely glossed over just to give the already concluded story more runtime. Frank concludes both stories perfectly, but aside from those 2 scenes, the writing for the final episode is absurdly bad. 2/10

I had never seen the original Lion King when I watched this remake.
The visuals in this movie make you want to like it, they are stunning. That is just about the only good thing though.
Coming from a movie standpoint, it just isn't good. At no point did I care about the characters or what they were doing. Simba just seemed like a prick and I didn't get why he bothered to go back to the pride lands.
Here are a few reasons why this movie is bad: Terrible voice acting (literally looks like a voice over) No character emotion (literally looks like animals walking around with eachother) Voices don't match character (Oh wait I already mentioned this)

Before you see this film, a bit of confusion might take place. The last name 'Singh' is a very, very common one in India and it is a name most Sikh families use. So, when you hear about a feud between Dhanraj Singh and Randhir Singh, it is NOT a family squabble but a feud between two Sikh families. However, unlike a typical group of Sikhs, both families lack the turbans extremely long hair and beards usually associated with male Sikhs. But, as I pointed out, they are not intended to be from the same family and the average Indian would know this. But, since I live in the USA and many readers are not Indians, I thought I'd include this in case there is any confusion.
"Qayamat se Qayamat Tak" is an Indian remake of Romeo and Juliet set in modern times. However, the film takes a few liberties here and there with the script. It begins with a man becoming engaged. On this day, his lover, Madhu, comes to him to tell him she'd pregnant. He is callous and offers to pay for an abortion and nothing more. She is so despondent that she killer herself. Her family has learned what happened and they are furious. Her brother is so angry, he shows up on the wedding day and murders the faithless jerk.
Time passes. Now, after many years, the killer is set free from prison. He is still naturally bitter about the incident--as is the other family. Clearly, they are feudin' families.
Unfortunately for the two angry and dogmatic patriarchs of the two families, two of their offspring soon meet and fall in love! Raj knows that Rashmi is from his family's enemies--but she is a lovely person. He resists her for some time, but after saving her from a gang of rapists, he gives up and allows himself to fall for her. Rashmi, at first, doesn't know who Raj is--but she, too, is in love.
As far as what happens next, that is rather interesting. Apparently the filmmakers made TWO endings and tried them out with test audiences. The younger people liked a sad ending similar to Shakespeare and the older folks wanted a happy ending. Which version won out? See the film for yourself.
I was surprised by this one. While it was generally a by-the-numbers remake, the film really held my attention and the ending practically made me scream out in surprise! It's an awfully enjoyable flick--one of the better older Indian films I have seen.
Finally, I'd like to say a bit about the DVD packaging for this and many other Indian films. While I love the films, many Indian DVD companies really screw their customers. They force the viewer to watch MANY previews--even AFTER you click to start the movie!! And, you cannot skip over these easily--or at all in some cases. You could end up sitting through a half an hour of previews and ads before the film actually begins! In the case of "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak", even after skipping through many commercials, when you click "Start Movie", it won't let you actually see the film! You must go to the chapters section and click on chapter one manually! Additionally, like some other Indian production companies, the songs are NOT captioned!!! It's enough to make me watch Japanese or French films instead!

I didn't enjoy it as much as i thought i'd do the start was good but it was downhill i'm sick of cliche storyline of a young beautiful women liking old/fat/ugly male beings. Very cringy. I've never seen it in opposite gender version.
Also i don't get why they distinguish witch from wizard and only consider witches are evil one, what a convenient world it is for male beings, they always make women villains in contrast to the reality, if there's an evil one, it's absolutely male beings who judge and accuse women as ''evil'' witch and kept killing them, staring wars, occupy most of the violent criminals and keep discriminating the other one for no reason the entire history. They are evil devil or living cancer of this world.

Good Series. Everybody acted very well in the movie. The series was so interesting and thrilling from the beginning. The series bored and lagged at the middle of the series. After some episodes, the series was so interesting and thrilling. Good Series.

Bad writing, phony and stilted dialogue, dislikable characters, and manufactured action scenes do nothing to prop up this boring and unoriginal new series. Everything is paint by the numbers with no creativity or fresh spirit. It's not enough to mask the insipid soap opera underneath the pretty costumes and scenery.
On the plus side the actors do their best with the sophomoric writing, with flashes of wry wit here and there. But these are little scraps at a banquet of mediocrity.
There are hundreds of better court melodramas in the one hundred plus years of Hollywood history, TV, and streamers. Even some stellar silent epics (with no dialogue) are better written and more engaging than this.

This was an anime series that I wasn't interested in at the time. At that point I wasn't into anime as a whole but around 2015 I decided to give anime more of a chance and I'm glad I did. I have seen about 15 different series and Am still looking for more good ones as well. This anime was a good start to the Clannad series even tho I do think it's not as epic or as emotional as After Story is. The comedy is funny, the characters are very good, the acting is good in Japanese (tho the dub is pretty good but Japanese audio for this anime is the way to go imo), and it's drama is sweet. It's a lot more light-hearted then After Story but it still contains very sad scenes in it. I would recommend this to any anime fan and even to those who are into Romance/Drama. The show isn't perfect tho, I feel as tho some episodes drag and at times the pacing can be slow. Still this anime is Worth watching.

One of the biggest positive surprises this year.
Great production setting, great actors, great story.
In advance I thought that it is like a Titanic movie, meaning that you know how it starts and how it ends anyway.
I live in Germany and I remember when it happened.
BUT, since it happened in the Soviet Union a large part of the information was not disclosed in the 1980s. Therefore I did not what really happened.
It is a also movie which honours the men who died that many others can live and despises the men who were responsible for the disaster due to there incompetence.
| 9 |
There's no easy way to say this, but this is very well filmed and expensive looking schlock.
The excellent acting, production values and investing scenery doesn't help what essentially is a bad story. I'm not talking about the lazy, cliche'd screenplay, but the original material.
I haven't read the comic, and if you told me about it to encourage me to read it, I'd give it a hard pass, so I was reluctant to just dismiss the TV version outright, but he translation to TV medium doesn't improve it.
Sometimes things should stay a comic book.

I don't get all the hype. It DOES have SOME great scenes and a nice storyline but nothing to be overexcited about.

The main problem of this show is the confusing multiple time plot, hard to understand by yourself until the third or fourth episode. But it is such a great beginning of, probably, one of the biggest shows in the next years. Henry Cavill is just the perfect choice.

Love love love it. Actually, I'm not even sure I like it but it drew me in from day one and I'm hooked and have to know what will happen next. The story, the characters, everything. Several "bloopers" but hey, nobody is perfect. Casting for instance. Kali for example. You can't have someone with an accent play a girl who didn't have an accent as a child and who was raised in a lab, therefore wouldn't have developed an accent. Don't get a Danish actress to play a girl that shouldn't have an accent.

Who could've guessed? The Bait & Switch is here again, not for the first time obviously in the MCU, which is becoming a slow turning disaster, not only for MCU fans but Disney's bottom line also.
Once again, the male characters are turned into whiny feline like things, the women are made super powerful and all knowing.
What's not to like you ask? Well, its not all that interesting or original, just a repeated formula. Its called Loki, but its not about Loki, its about a strong female version of the original Demi-God character from the Marvel movies.
Don't be disappointed, just expect more of the same in the next series.
I'll give you a heads up.
Loki gets depressed, along comes a bunch of inexperienced yet totally powerful female characters, who are not there to help they are there to make all male characters, the bad guys, totally ineffective and stupid. The male characters are experienced, credentialled, qualified, yet they don't know anything, start crying at the first sign of adversity, can't fight any powerful and strong women, and usually end up being kicked in the balls and coming back for more.
Included is the usual lame stunts, awful CGI and a bunch of STRONG women falling from impossible heights, slamming to the ground on one knee, one hand on the ground for a steadying motion, then the head looks up with a determined, "Lets go girl" look, you know the ones you usually see in these awful shows and movies. One hand slams on the ground, head down at first then looks up with a mean, somewhat sophisticated, enigmatic, and distant look, meant to point out the highly sophisticated female empowerment these characters all enjoy.
Yes, its a video game type feel, are you surprised?
Well, no I wasn't.
Perhaps the most annoying aspect is the silly plot twists and references to historical events, like the DB Cooper reference, out he goes jumping out the back of a plane mid-flight.
How zany can it all get?
Good night Loki.
