I found it odd that there were so many 10/10 reviews and just as many 1/1 reviews. This tells me that viewers either love or hate this film.
There was such promise for this movie but I feel they took it too far and messed up any chance for something worth watching.
Half way through it felt like it would step up leading to a great conclusion but never happened.
Having watched it, I feel annoyed that it wasn't crafted into something more memorable. | 4 |
This film didn't work for me. It feels like I've already seen this film countless times before. Basically it involves the good guys (or guy) against the bad guys and that's it. There's really nothing else to it. Nothing new or interesting happens. There's just some action which isn't very new , its all been seen before. When it ended, I thought, thank God for that. I feel I've said all I need to but the minimum submission is 10 lines. So I'll waffle on a bit more. Couching Tiger Hidden Dragon was good because it had exceptional action and it was all new and refreshing. But just your standard action flick, we've all seen it all before. There's really no story line. I was thinking, anyone could basically make a film like this - just have a non existent story where the goodies fight the baddies, have a load of action scenes that have been done too often and hey presto you have this film. | 3 |
The first time I watched this I could not wait for it to be over, Thought it was the dumbest thing I'd ever seen. Full of plot holes, recycled sci-fi ideas and just plain ridiculousness. The cast is pretty great but I had heard this was meant to be one of those game changer movies, an "epic sci-fi.? Not so much.
Well I caught it on TV yesterday and while I still found weird, lazy story flaws and things that didn't make much sense, I didn't hate it. I got the message they were trying to convey about gravity and time and mankind and love. I finally (somewhat) understood all the positive reviews out there although if you check here there are just as many bad ones
Interstellar follows former astronaut, now farmer Mathew McConaughey and his family at some future point on earth when the atmosphere has become inhospitable to human life. McConaughey stumbles upon a sort of NASA headquarters in the back of one of the cornfields and soon embarks on a dangerous mission with Ann Hathaway through a wormhole in order to find a hospitable planet, oh and some time passes.
Some of my issues; NASA is in exile right next door to the farm, how convenient, they're living in a dustbowl but only when it suits the filming schedule otherwise its cornfields, sunshine and chasing drones. McConaughey -who is a galaxy and a wormhole away- shows up in his daughters childhood bedroom 40 years later. WTH. Mind blown. Even the earlier ghosting doesn't really explain this bit of mind screwery. | 5 |
A very enjoyable hour and thirty minute Anti Hero Thriller. I enjoyed it more than the first venom. I loved the action sequences, and I enjoyed the humor. Naomi Harris was brilliant as Shriek. Woody Harrelson was amazing as Cletus/Carnage. Tom Hardy did another great performance playing the Anti Hero Venom. I'm a huge MCU fan. I'm looking forward to what happens next. | 8 |
This movie was brilliant and remember I am a girl, and therefore not into comic books at all.
From the fantastic opening titles which briefly retold the first movie to help you remember it, in case you hadn't seen it recently, to the better than expected ending.
Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst continued their good work from the first movie, and the rest of the returning cast were great, especially the newspaper editor, whose name I can never remember (sorry).
The story had a good pace and enough impact moments to keep you going, and the dramatic portions were usually followed by some humor or a good action scene to move the story along, and there is still plenty to tell for a third installment too.
I couldn't find any faults with the movie at all - the special effects were fantastic, I know a lot of it was CGI, but it was not obvious CGI, and the music really went with the movie in total.
The only question I ever have with superhero movies is - where do their clothes go to? But that's too prosaic to worry about when it's a Marvel type story, so I will just brush that thought to one side.
I gave this movie a 10 because in my view it is well worth the price of a movie ticket, in fact I could go see it again and would not begrudge paying twice (but since I have a subscription card I go free anyway!).
The 10 vote was not because it is the best movie I have ever seen, it was because it is 100% worth seeing, just bear in mind there are some violent parts that may not be suitable for either young children, or people who are bothered by that kind of thing.
Thank God for Spiderman, I watched it back to back with Thunderbirds and if you are reading this review for pity's sake, do NOT see that movie! | 7 |
First of all I havent completed watching season 3 and just in the middle of episode 9. Just to say this season is at its prime giving every chills and thrills to the viewers. Standout performer has to be the new entrant and her sad story arc.. So painstakingly constructed the character buildup.. Im completely blown over by the story telling and the impactful performances. I'd say Daredevil is the modern TV show at its very best even rivalling any similar legendary feature movies ever. The biggest takeaway is how people lose their humanness when dealing with life without their parents and without right guidance, how will they thrive, live, or carried away by powerful elements good or bad. All deftly shown in this emotional gut wrenching superhero super show! Kudos to the makers! | 9 |
Another drawn out never ending series...
Everything about it is predictable.
Where have the single episode jolting series gone?
Having to invest hours upon hours to find out how a show ends(if ever) is getting very old.
I've decided to pull the plug after the 2nd episode instead of losing interest halfway through the season like so many others of the same format.
The word "bindge" in front of any word usually implies a negative thing and its no different with "bindge watching" | 3 |
I actually found Adam's character funny, and annoying of course. Just hours of cursing and yelling. I guess it's a story about what people are like when they consistently are in a vicious cycle of effing up. | 3 |
This is..... disappointing. That's it. Very very. To be honest I wasn't hyped for the movie cause i already knew it was not going to be to my taste. Netflix adapting Addams family. It was going to be a waste of time. But then I actually watched it and I felt new depths of disappointments. Turned the movie into a "teen supernatural romance" kind of movie and removed all the dark humor so as not to offend anybody? Lol. When did Pugsley become such a wimp. I couldn't even feel the love between Morticia and Gomez. I wouldn't too cause Gomez has never been a fat, ugly, creepy man. They are supposed to be a weird misfit family showing their love in their own kind of way to each other. But the parents are not proud of their children's behavior. I'm suprised with all the tens I'm seeing. I'll have to say they come from people who haven't seen the original. Cause this is definitely not the Addams family. This is some cliched teen supernatural romance where the weird girl falls in love. I'm done with this. I can't keep watching. Enjoy. | 1 |
This is really good to watch, the characters are fun, it is over the top brilliant and the amount of work that went into animating this is amazing and should be appreciated, the only issue is that it tries to take itself far more seriously than the masterpiece manhwa it is based on, which as we all is absolutely full of comedic hilarity.
Still it is some much fun to watch, cannot wait for season 2! | 8 |
First, it's not a bad movie, but neither is it a great movie, which what the 8 average (as offered up by IMDb users) have given it. That would put this movie above Titanic (7.4) and just below Avatar (8.1), which is ridiculous. It's not even as good as the Mark Wahlberg movie a few years ago.
Having said that, it's decent film that movie fans should see, but seeing on the big screen isn't mandated. The story telling in "Apes" is unique in that it tells the story from the point of view an orphaned chimp named Caesar, adopted as a lab-test animal by a drug researcher played by James Franco, who's good in this. Franco's character is trying to find a cure for Alzheimer's, which his father, played by the terrific John Lithcow, is in the grips of.
But the stories is told through the eyes of chimp Caesar, who goes from family pet/child to being the punching bag for a tyrannical chimp in a California rescue facility for apes. But as clever Caesar outsmarts his aggressor, he comes to realize that the humans that run the facility -- and the world at large -- are the real tyrants, and he sets out to set things right.
That portion of the story works well. What doesn't work is the predictable evil pharmaceutical boogeyman playing God by splicing DNA for profit.
As I said, the movie is OK, but and 8? Give me a break. | 5 |
This is a show that my son enjoys so its good to find one I can watch with him. I do like the story line. I dont think all the actors picked for the characters suit the part. Im just not feeling it for Allison especially Luther. Not as perfect fit as the others. Watched the first 2 seasons and Im keen to see what happens in Season 3. The show does remind me so much of X Men so the concept is not original. Still enjoy it just the same. So watch it if you are a fan of superhero genre. | 8 |
While far less violent than the title suggests, the movie does do well in depicting realistically dangerous scenarios from various standpoints in operating a fuel business during 1981 in New York City. Jessica Chastain is great and Oscar Isaac amazing at portraying his character, a businessman struggling to stay clean and legit while facing increasingly bad circumstances. It's slow moving overall but the characters elicited more interest and concern from me than I anticipated, which made their dilemmas feel personal. Some great moments of suspense and dialogue both helped keep me glued to this story. | 8 |
I saw the reboot of Lost in Space, and I frankly didn't like it very much. The acting was terrible, the story plots were done to death in other science-fiction shows, the family was dysfunctional, and Dr. Smith was so evil that she was much more annoying than interesting. She didn't hold a candle to Johnathan Harris. What made the original Lost in Space so appealing was that it was fun, and Dr. Smith, the Robot, and the aliens were all the ones who made it that way. It is two-bit reboots like this that make me grateful that I don't subscribe to Netflix. Do yourself a favor and watch the reruns of the original Lost in Space, and don't waste your time with this show. | 2 |
I finished this show last week and I can honestly say that it was extremely interesting, well-scripted and had a brilliant cinematography. The setting was utterly convincing and realistic to the point where I actually felt I was there at times. The only reason why I cannot give it a 10/10 rating is the fact that the actors spoke English throughout the show which really set me back. It was not something that I expected or that I could shake off after one episode. It continuously bothered me throughout the series. At the beginning I even thought to myself why would so many British people be living/working in Ukraine and that is how much I did not expect a truthful depiction of the events to be carried out in a foreign language! | 8 |
For years and many rewatches, I have always thought The Godfather (1972) to be the stronger movie but after a recent viewing this movie just blew me away. For one, Al Pacino gives one of the strongest performances of all time as Michael Corleone, he is just cold and ruthless while also being one of the most terrifying characters of all time with the cold stare he does as he stares into people's souls. He does something that I have never seen any actor do, which is use his eyes to primarily show his intentions. The way Coppola structured this film is genius while juxtaposing DeNiro (who is also fantastic) as a young Vito, earning respect and love with his community while witnessing Michael losing everything he once had with people and family. Some emotionally powerful scenes and a rivetting story, this is a truly perfect drama. | 10 |
I recently read Ready Player One, and it's the best book I've read for a long time. I was so excited for the movie. Sure, movies are never as good as the book. But this is much more true in this case. The general story is the same, but everything within the movie is different. They didn't try to follow the story lines or specific actions/contributions from the characters at all. They could have condensed the story into movie length and still at least followed the book a little more closely. I was very dissapointed. With all that said, it is still a good movie. If I hadn't just read the book, this one woulda gotten a 7 or 8 from me. | 5 |
Well this was one of the most awaited movies for people who like different kind of cinema.Dev d a story about modern Devdas is a good adaption from the previous versions.The movie setup up in north of India brings up something new and unique as a build up to the character.The story is how a boy destroys his life for his childhood love.
The darkness of the movie can be seen after he loses the girl and takes a road to utter disdain and destruction of his life.Dev meets Chanda a prostitute who also falls for his charm.Her story is completely different and well put up.The performance by all the actors is laudable and up to the mark.The camera-work and and direction is excellent and audiences will notice that after they watch the movie.The director makes a very good attempt to create a more dark ambiance once the Dev loses his love.
The background score of the movie is good considering the dark ambiance.Drinks,smoke,drugs you will see all this in abundance as it leads to destruction of his life.
This is not a movie for people who cant take dark films as it just leaves u a bit sapped after you watch it.
Go for Dev D if you want something different from commercial cinema.I would rate the movie a 8/10 and say go for it. | 8 |
I wonder why i watched it till the end. Maybe just for the Carnage.
To much trying to be fun comedy in it. And the lines arent that funny.
I think if they made a sequal en not trying to be Spawn, could have been much better. | 3 |
I really didn't like this movie THAT much. It's good but as 7.0/10, not much more. | 6 |
I am a big fan of QT and this movie was really detailed in de hippy time but I was missing something in those first 2 hours of the story. That Bruce parody was fun but when making a story about the Hollywood life make some 'Hollywood'-ish action scenes that fit in the interests like other movie QT made. Don't end most scenes the same with just an information-plot. Conclusion: a bit too slow for all the minutes spend in scenes. For the rest great acting and details! Please make the next movie less 'boring'. And sorry I said that ;)
Just 4 stars because I lost interest and I normally don't... | 4 |
Has nothing special going for it. Sure, it's good at times but there's a lot of thrillers out there that are good at times and most of them don't get a tenth of the praise this movie got.
Slow, mildly interesting first act. Thrilling second act. And the third act feels a bit try-hard with and an almost ON YOUR FACE piece of social commentary, and a 25th Hour rip-off of an ending.
All in all, it's not a bad film by any account, but it's certainly not as good as everyone's making it to be. | 6 |
Dire boring dull , save your money and give it a miss | 1 |
Wow. What a bore. I could not even watch till the end. The songs are beautiful, but the movie is slow and boring. Maybe my expectations were to high by All the buzz? | 2 |
For someone new to 'The Witcher' world, I found this fun, festive and engaging. The time shifts took a second to align on but it's actually a refreshing piece of storytelling and makes you work in a world where so much is spoon fed to audiences. Good performances and it's not GOT and does not want to be - sets up a lot for future seasons! Enjoy | 8 |
It's one of the best things I've ever watched in my entire life I can't even find the words to describe it. Honestly the role of Hannibal was written for Mads I can't imagine any actor would've played it better than him this man is a LEGEND. This series will touch your soul, your heart & definitely will get deep in your mind I mean really deep. Can't say much because you will know what I mean when you watch it. You we love the story, the characters, the actors, the thrill, the director & mostly you will love this serial killer after this (LOL). At the end chapeau bas MADS MIKKELSEN. | 10 |
This series - what I've watched of it - is a fairly heavy-handed morality sermon about racism. That all creatures must get along and not be segregated or villified. I thought I'd give it try in time for Halloween - but really don't want to slog through "forbidden love" or preaching about equality. However, Oxford in autumn has me reaching for my passport. | 6 |
Heard all the hype before I watched it. It is utter pointless film with absolutely nothing other than just gore. No story, no character development, and honestly... even the action is terrible. At the end, the only question remains is, "What did I just waste 2 hours on?" | 2 |
Very good, adore how they portrayed Venom And Eddie's relationship. The ableism is not fun, but everything's still good. | 10 |
Alright, well first of all I can't claim to be much of a fan of the Annabelle doll, as I find it rather dull and not scary at all.
And true to my assumptions, then "Annabelle: Creation", turned out to be not scary at all. But hey, didn't we all see that coming?
It was sort of a very anti-climatic atmosphere to the entire movie, which took away any chance of building up a horror atmosphere. The entire storyline, however, was just so horribly predictable that it was laughable.
"Annabelle: Creation", however, does have some good enough acting performances and good cast
The CGI and special effects in the movie were good, and that at least counted in favor of the movie. | 4 |
I feel that I have to start this review by saying that this is the first anime I've seen in a long while, and that lately I find most of them childish. While I can't say I felt that way about Death Note (for the most part, at least) I did found a lot of plot holes, some very unbelievable scenarios, and some characters acting way dumber than a normal person would (this probably to highlight the intelligence of the main characters, but it works poorly). Finally, I felt the series overextended, to the point when I was bored and wanted it to end. It would have worked better with around 20 chapters.
Again, it's not bad, it's not that childish, and it's overall interesting. But for the love of the god of movies, it doesn't deserve a 9. | 7 |
This movie is a pure fun ride. It doesn't take itself seriously and stays true to that throughout. So don't watch the movie, if you want a movie with a philosophical background. You will be disappointed for nothing!
Although it is an Eastern movie, it does also resemble a Hollywood kind of flair as well. The special effects, the thin characters and so fourth. Or some innuendos or homages if you will, like a scene that will have Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote fans on their toes! Of course there is much more here than that. And the other comic likeness you get here, could also be a manga/anime similarity! And I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was based on a manga (japanese comic book, editor's note) to be true! :o) | 8 |
This is simply put a show created for ten year olds. Stunning graphics and cgi work. The script is built for children, this is the only way I can describe this show and the only way I can find a positive spin. I so truly wanted this to be intellectual and just as mentally stimulating as it is visually. Unfortunately it misses the mark.
One last issue is the science is... this is not an Andy Weir novel... | 2 |
5 out of 10
My, my what's all the hoopla over this movie.. I don't see this worthy of critical acclaim or award nominations.. Bill Murray was no better than average.. the movie is fair.. I have watched it twice to see if I dozed during the 1st time around.. I don't like the story line.. I don't like Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson together.. chemistry just isn't good.. and, they shouldn't be together in the 1st place.. they are both married to someone else in this movie.. But then again, isn't that just the way things are these days.. Murray's sad face made me sad that I watched the film not once, but twice.. I recommend that no one watch it all unless it's at no charge.. | 5 |
And, the Black Cat! Bucky Barnes "The Winter Soldier" can't get a break. There seems to be a string of words that when spoken, makes him compelled to follow certain orders.
But something happened in 1991 that one weak chinned individual really wants to find out. It's locked in Bucky's Brain. But there is one other person who would want to know this secret: Tony Stark. Except he doesn't even know this secret exists.
This is the time of "The Sekovia Accords", the Avengers can't do a simple job without bunches of people getting killed and mass destruction abounding. Not their fault, bad guys are all over the place. Hydra is still being Hailed, but we don't see too much of them lately. Getting tired of Hydra anyway. Now, the world as a whole wants to have "oversight" over the Avengers. Tony Stark favors this, Cap America does not.
It's as simple as that, but nothing is simple anymore. And now, The Scarlet Witch is having a moment because she could not prevent something bad from happening, and The Vision, is he simply babysitting her, or keeping her locked up at The Avengers Mansion? Because there is an even better floating prison for super hero types who have gone off grid.
This disagreement between Stark and Cap causes an Avengers Rift and puts Cap on the other side of the law for once. All for Bucky's sake, wouldn't you do all you could for your best friend? But many people want to see Bucky dead. Others don't want him dead, just what he knows.
The question is, why? There is only one person who knows that, and he's well prepared to rip the Avengers into tiny kibbles and bits to find out about something that happened. On December 16, 1991. Look for William Hurt as Thaddeus Ross, a jerk, this guy could cause severe problems in future movies.
Each one of these Marvel Movies outdo the previous ones, and I thought Deadpool was great, except for that CGI Colossus. So many Marvel Superheroes have been established, and now, more and more of them are appearing in every Marvel Entry. It's like they are writing Lord of the Rings as they go, and doing a fine job of it. This is like the Battle of Minas Tirith, and everybody shows up to play. Including Ant-Man, who shows us yet another Dimension, also true to the comics.
I was halfway expecting Tony Stark to be killed off, but that didn't happen. It is part of Marvel Canon, he was killed off and then resurrected by bringing his younger self into the future, this was a story arc from the Mid 90's. Actually I was expecting X-Men Apocalypse to be the "Age of Apocalypse" arc from around 1994, which lasted about 6 months, during which time the whole Marvel Universe had been turned inside out, Apocalypse controlled everything, Logan had his hand chopped off, and Magneto was the head of The X-Men. The "M'Kraan Crystal" which held the fabric of reality in check, had been broken by "Legion", who was Charles Xavier's son. But in these current films, we keep seeing these "Infinity Stones" that can twist realities apart showing up. And one of then is in The Vision's head!
I have seen plans for a "Legion" film as well. There are already holes in the X-Universe due to "Days of Future Past" which I thought was done well, and now with the handing off of the X-Men principle actors to their younger counterparts, how long before this happens with our Avengers? We're selfish, we want to see more and more with these same actors playing our beloved characters.
It is too bad that it takes so long for these films to be made, I just hope that RD Jr keeps playing Iron Man, Cheadle keeps being War Machine, at least for a while, these actors are all in their prime and could probably finish the whole arc with no problem.
This film gives us yet another rendition of Spider-Man, I really liked the Toby Maguire version, and I also liked the Garfield version too, he was good in that role. Should have used the same guy here, but I like this new Spidey. Odd to see Spidey as one of the Avengers, but that too, is Marvel Canon. | 10 |
What the heck is going on half the time? Dialogue is confusing which causes the plot line to be lost to most. | 5 |
Haven't seen any movie lately which has received such an awesome response. The Indian public wants such movies, and not some no brainers. Best war movie I have seen till date. Top class performance by all actors | 10 |
Content is long and complicated, causing tired for the viewers. The only positive plus is special effect but seem to be normal nowadays. Disappointed with the cost of Imax3D spent. | 5 |
This is one of those rare movies that come out every few years and are worth watching a few times. It is genuinely well written and keeps you engrossed till the very end. | 8 |
This movie ,the Irishman is embarrassing. You can't have old men playing the parts designed for actors 40 years younger. Every scene involving their children looked like a joke or a cartoon or a Saturday night live skit. I'm an old man myself and it was embarrassing for me to watch. And sure the acting was good. It should be good ....these guys of been playing the same role all their lives. There was nothing new in the movie it was way too long ..way too slow ,and way too boring. I find it disappointing that every critic fell in line to praise this Scorsese film. Actually it's a dis-service to the man | 3 |
Season 1 is bonkers but I enjoyed it. This is everything that I would want out of a tv series that is a adapted from the Twisted Metal video game. Anthony Mackie is the perfect selection for the lead here. Also it was pure genius to have Will Arnett voice Sweet Tooth! You will have to watch this series to believe what goes down. My only complaint id you can tell in certain scenes/episodes the CGI looks pretty bad. The reason for the bad CGI could be because of a low budget. Also I wish the episodes could be from 45 minutes to an hour instead of a quick 30 minutes. Other then that I absolutely enjoyed session 1 of this series. Looking forward what will happen in season 2! Twisted Metal season 1 gets a solid 7 stars out of 10 from me. Sony Studios is on a role with these recent video game adaptions. | 7 |
Didn't like it. Looks like videogame. Characters are shallow. | 3 |
The early criticism I read about "Venom" included something I feel really rings true having seen it. It does feel very much what superhero films were like 15 years ago, before Marvel took control of their own destiny and began to make films of different genres, with their characters in them, rather than believing that "Superhero" is a genre itself. This is a regression to a time when a bit of CGI and a superhero name was enough to get people to go. It's not that world anymore and "Venom" comes up sadly lacking.
To sum up the plot, whilst investigating the shady science of tech Billionaire Carlton Blake (Riz Ahmed) journalist Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is exposed to an Alien Symbiote named Venom. The two eventually form an uneasy alliance as Brock tries to take down Blake and Venom hunts for Riot, a fellow Symbiote who wishes to bring about the end of humanity.
I want to split my criticism in two now. Some for the character of Venom and some for the film itself. I'll start with the film. With any character as the protagonist of it, this film would be a bit of a mess. It takes a long time to get going, it ends with an anticlimactical incoherent CGI battle that looks awful, but worst of all, is inconsistent across its running time about its own rules. Sometimes, bonding with an alien creates a zombie like status in the human, with the symbiote in full control, sometimes the connection results in a sickness for the human (though it is explained that the alien essentially eats the host from the inside, if they aren't fed) but sometimes, it creates a perfect symbiotic relationship immediately, where the human gains extraordinary powers and they share the same goals - fortunately for the dull plot, this is the case for all three of our leads. One thing that some people may like is that the film is a story in itself, there are no links to any pre-existing universes and very few Easter Eggs beyond nods to the creators. Personally, I like those little insider nods and the film felt worse for it. The CGI is bad, the music is worse and the practical stunts are underwhelming.
The portrayal of Venom himself is an odd one. Giving them an internal (and sometimes external) monologue was a way to go - and sometimes it's funny, is it always trying to be?. . I'm not sure, but there are laughs to be had there. Hardy is very game to make himself look foolish, and the voice he provides for Venom is interesting. However, I don't really buy into why Venom suddenly decides to side with the humans against the other symbiotes, surely not one brief moment considering the beauty of and Earth city wasn't it? If it's the influence of Eddie Brock's humanity, why doesn't that work in the other combinations? Eventually, just as the film was ending, the "pairing" began it hit their rhythm, so much so that if they made another "Venom" film that could fix the problems I detailed in the previous paragraph, I'd be willing to see it.
I wasn't disappointed, as the critical response prior to seeing it had dulled my anticipation but I'd genuinely struggle to recommend the movie to anyone, fan or otherwise of the character. | 4 |
Once again I simply do not understand what the people responsible for choosing which movies are nominated and eventually win the Academy Award for best picture. Sometimes it's right on point with picking Schindler's List but with every Schindler's List there's a "Moonlight" I tried to watch "Everything Everywhere All at Once" the minute it was available to stream it it was a boring slow start and I didn't get past the first fifteen minutes. When I saw that it was nominated for best picture I tried again same results fifteen minutes in and I stop watching. I saw that it won best picture so I tried to watch it again, I forced myself to watch it all and I simply don't get it. | 3 |
I don't know who wrote the script, who directed it and who produced it, but they should be fired. The Thor movies has always had a slightly darker tone and well written stories to help character development. This movie has none of that. Storytelling has been shoved to the side to make way for unnecessary comedy, reducing every character to the comic relief. Loki and Bruce Banner are two complex and sad characters who were only in the movie to satisfy fans and add more jokes.
Had it not been for the brilliant acting of Tom Hiddleston and Cate Blanchet, I probably wouldn't have seen the entire movie. This is not a superhero movie, this is a badly made action comedy. And as a long time Thor comic fan, this hurts my heart to write. | 2 |
Hmm. Henry Cavill, an interesting title, and I like fantasy. I then watched it once. Didn't understand half of what was going on, or what was being said! Something wrong with my TV speakers? Because it was Henry Cavill, I then watched it again. A little better, but not much. I really wanted to get into this series so I bought the recommended first book. Oh. OK. Now I understand. Back to a third viewing of the first episode. Finally success. So, even though I'm still having trouble understanding what some of the characters are saying (are they speaking a foreign language? Why are they mumbling so fast?), I can easily fill in the blanks because I read the book. And I am better able to understand the jumps back and forth in time, only because I read the book! So, having said this, I can certainly understand the poor ratings by some, only because they didn't know that the book should be required reading beforehand. My only suggestion for the next series is to tone down some of the heavy regional English dialects to make things more understandable for us Yanks. Loved the amazing characterization job Henry Cavill did as Geralt and Anya Chalotra as Yennefer. | 9 |
After years of waiting, the very first scene gave me what I've been wanting for so long. Truly the only real reason I actually wanted to see this thanks to the trailers, I had no Idea that it would be proudly presented after years of a cliffhanger. I grown since the first avatar and let me tell you there is nothing more satisfying than what I saw when our favorite blue people came back to the cinema screen, what powerful gifts bestowed upon us for our most humble patience over the years. Yes, this glorious moment shall be the seed of hundreds of new fans to go swarm the dark corners of the web, to sing of these new feelings.
Ladies and gentleman, What I have gained from watching this film is...
A pregnancy fetish.
I shall not explain no more than what I have nor will I actually review the film, go now my children and see to it that you gain it as well, good day, until the next mid Avatar sequel.
Goodnight. | 3 |
Okay loved everything of our beloved Q.T yet I found the Hateful Eight was just a snooze feast and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood I fell asleep after 30-45mins and woke up to the last 25mins (to all the violence).The Violence was weird and disturbing as should be yet one of the killing scene in pool (want add more as don't want to add spoilers to this review) was not funny.If someone else apart from Q.T made this movie it would not be a hit or win as much awards as it did.In fact another director would of not had enough control over this movie.What I did see was great acting-atmosphere-camera work.What I notice was what is the plot? It's a movie just for a movie retro times. | 6 |
Yes, that's right, Anders Holm was so incredibly bad that in the middle of an otherwise entertaining movie, that the only thing I could think about was how good the other actors were to offset his incompetency. He was so awful, so monotonic, so fake emotionally that I was drawn completely out of the story. I wonder how many thousands of takes it took to just get him through the flotsam of slop of cuts he left in his wake? Anders Holm. Is. That. Bad.
This was a bright, light script and De Niro absolutely made the movie. His character was endearing, and he played it seamlessly and expressively. While I like him in meatier scripts, he showed his versatility and makes acting look like a profession and art, not just an exercise in repeating memorized lines. Too bad Anders Holm wasn't paying attention and sank a pretty nice ship. | 2 |
This show should be on HGTV, cuz they made this Dragon House a real Dragon Home. All of the things we loved about Game of Thrones (games, thrones) is here but they haven't forgotten what the real fans love (Houses, Dragons). Also things like bad guys and good guys and some people you aren't sure of their loyalty, while others seem "sus", and others you get a weird feeling about (trust that feeling!). The dude in the white wig and armor was a badass, I think he was on Dr House from the BBC before. Loved the dragon girl - hope things work out for her. Also: the dude who's like "yeah, I'm the man," but the fan favorite is like "I DON'T THINK SO!!" | 8 |
Just too much of everything. Too many intrigues. Too much implausible action. Even too much strange sense of romance and attempt of emotion. The first of the franchise I just couldn't enjoy. | 1 |
Daredevil is one of the best marvel characters. It is not showing a perfect person who's just looking for the good. In season 3 we could see another side of Mathew's personality and his conflict with his destiny and who he is.
Am really disappointed because there is no season four. This character is still interesting.
I gave it 9/10 because I hate Karen . It's an annoying character. | 9 |
I expected more from this show. Stranger Things didn't surprised me. The first 4 episodes are slow and boring and the final episode is not epic.
The best was the ambiance, a very good art direction (even 3D is designedly badly done).
This TV series have a good sci-fi and adventure history but a bad horror and mystery. Acting is good, but writing is not. Good and bad points.
It's not horrible but it's not a big show, it's just a 80's blockbuster so I think the nostalgia feeling is sedating people.
6/10 | 6 |
Tempted to leave a 10/10 review to counter the ridiculous earlier initial reviews, but will leave an honest 9 for this beautifully choreographed, expertly edited and very well acted series. | 9 |
I liked this show, but the third season is a completely disaster, it's really boring, stupid, full of stupid and useless scene and I also found the acting worse. Let's hope in a better fourth season... | 2 |
Show is good story seems nice but it only lacks a powerful villain to face Saitama. I mean he is strongest in the show but the strongest can also be defeated by different powers like intelligence i just want some competion for Saitama. | 8 |
Despite the star-studded cast, there was no saving this movie. I have no idea how a studio green-lit this. The movie had no direction. It is a severely poorly written mess of a story-if there was even any at all. Each scene leaves the viewer more confused than the last in which another senseless character is introduced.
After two hours of sitting there, listening to characters endlessly talk over the top of each other and what felt like an eternity of convoluted dialogue as well as constant ill attempt at humour, I had to walk out of the cinema for the first time in my life from how excruciating it was to watch. There was no structure and everything felt like word vomit. I almost wished I had been the one thrown in front of a moving vehicle instead than watch another second of this atrocity. I have no idea how any one would give this a positive rating when it truly deserves a 0 rating at best. What a waste. I have to say, that was an utter disappointment from David O. Russell, who's made films like Silverlinings Playbook and even tolerable ones like American Hustle. This recent film is truly one of the most astonishingly terrible movies I've ever watched in my lifetime. | 1 |
Very interesting watch. Dark and magical but also confusing with the time zones which makes it so good to follow. Never really watched Henry before and great casting call he played the part amazing. Definitely recommend if your a fan of his. Recommend either way | 9 |
Why is Simon Pegg in this movie? He has 5 lines and they're not funny. Why is Angela Bassett in this? She has 5 lines and they are boring. Why is Alex Baldwin in this? He has 5 lines and then he dies. This is a paint by numbers film that makes no actual sense. The only good thing about is is Henry Cavill, and since he is having a sort of supporting role, this means the rest of the movie is crap. The action sequences are OK, but if you wanted action sequences only you would watch some Indonesian film. Poor Tom Cruise is probably going through his Alien phase "Kill... me...!" right now, because he probably has a lifetime contract to play this idiotic Ethan Hunt character. Vanessa Kirby is super cute and she has more than 5 lines... but that's about it.
Poor movie, impossibly stupid script, good action sequences, wasted actors. | 5 |
Why does netflix insist on burning money to fill up its bag of insignificant movies? Sure, in the end it is purely a matter of taste. But I still can't believe some people actually really really liked this one inspite its super shallow characters, totally unconvincing plot, utmost unoriginal story and dissapointing acting for the most part. Ps. Netflix reported almost $12 billion in total debt as of Sept. 2018. This movie has cost 19,8 million. What a waste... | 1 |
This is an absolute haywire. And it's supposed to compete with MCU ? No way. It's below average. The music is boring, doesn't feel like you're watching a superhero flick. The humorous moments are forced on you, which will only make you cringe and not laugh. The storyline is bizarre, doesn't develop any kind of interest. The villain is the worse, just wants power, why? Intentions? Is he sane ? Crazy? Zero aspects of a villain. I'm a huge DC fan, but this is just one of the biggest disappointment ever. I'd rather watch justice league than this utter crap. | 3 |
This is the Spider-Man we deserve, the only movie that can bring justice to the character. The best version of Spider-Man. Everything about this film is exactly how Spider-Man was written, Doctor Octopus was amazing in this movie, the chemistry between Tobey & Alfred is so spot on. The best Spider-Man movie ever!!! Tobey did a fantastic job as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, just fantastic. This movie is so underrated, & with people giving it a 7.3/10 are wrong, it should be higher because this is how films are made & characters. At least this film is Marvel's best since The Winter Solider & Infinity War, by far Marvel's golden age at the time until now. I miss movies like these, we don't usually get these stuff anymore which is sad, but Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse did great, & thats my second favorite Spider-Man movie. Spider-Man 2 brings the exciting moment of history of Spider-Man. It's a fantastic film, & most people don't realize that. Thank you Sam Raimi & Tobey Maguire & Stan Lee for bringing this movie to life as the best Spider-Man film ever!!!!!!! | 10 |
I was enjoying this ridiculous show thoroughly until a mother gave up her soul willingly to save her crying baby from any harm. The villain promised her they wouldn't hurt him, but after the mother changes she takes pleasure in chomping down on the helpless crying child. Is this what passes for entertainment? I am a father of young children and can't see a reason to go this far. Why put something in a show that will disturb a significant percentage of your viewers. I am not a squeemish person by any normal standards, but what good does it do to push this far? Villains like this are absurdly unrealistic anyway, so why cross that line? I would be more forgiving if it happened in a way that portrayed more realistic circumstances. I do not shy away from thinking about the terrible things that actually do exist in this world, but I don't see the benefit to something like this other than the shock factor that some people want. But there are better ways to shock oneself about the realities of human suffering. | 1 |
On a scale of 1 to 10 I give this film a 9 for great cinematics.Preteens will love this film. Adults however will be wondering what all the fuss is about. | 3 |
The movie lacks spirit and good performances. Henry Cavil is probably among the only good actors in this series. The portrayal of Geralt is authentic enough for me, but that's not really enough to save the show. It's poorly written and directed. I found myself cringing at too many scenes to count. | 5 |
I'm writing this to hopefully replace the last guy who was on the front page bashing the show. What a twit. This is bar none the greatest show on television right now, maybe ever. I hate TV, I can never get into it, but this show is so amazing I have no problem watching it for 8 hours a day. And I don't even get paid to.
The characters are varied, complex, and interesting. The suspense is taut and nearly constant, the twists satisfying while never being predictable. It is a show of superlatives. My favorite aspect of the show has to be the situations characters constantly wind up in where they have to make a choice, usually one or both options hanging their own or someone else's life on the line (or hundreds of thousands of lives). Without giving anything away, creators Surnow and Cochran along with one of the greatest ensemble writing teams on earth are better storytellers than practically any filmmaker.
One thing though: If you're debating "getting into" the show, I almost recommend not to. Especially if you have a job and/or life, because it will simply take over. For me, April of 2006 was "24" month. I watched 4 seasons straight, each season being over 18 hours in length (when you factor in commercials not present on DVD's), and it was one of the greatest months of my life, where I hardly ever interacted with people not named Jack, Chloe, Tony, Edgar, Michelle, Marwan, Kim, Chase, or Sa-yed Ali. And in the past 3 days I watched the entire season 5, just in time for the start of season 6. I want everyone to get into it. At 24 episodes a season, you basically get 12 of the best movies of the year, for now going on 6straight years. Jack will put a bullet in your brain if you stop watching. | 10 |
Another in a string of pathetic Hollywood films directed at already mentally and emotionally screwed up teens and emotionally stunted 20-something degenerates who will guffaw at anything even remotely connected to sexual organs.
It seems as if every single scene was slapped together from a string of random improvised actions the actors did. "Sit at the bar there and do various stupid things that imply you're drunk. We'll pick and choose later and just put them all in a row." Stupid jokes that make no sense whatsoever, characters showing up who are irrelevant to the plot, incredibly trite interjections of four letter words till you're sick to death of hearing them.
This film is for the squishy-brained imbeciles who enjoyed idiot entertainment like "Grandma's Boy." At least "American Pie" was creative in its dirty jokes and possessed a real plot, with character development and a satisfying conclusion.
This film has none of that. It is a waste of time, marketed to loser high school students and 7/11 clerks who probably lack the intelligence to accomplish anything real in their time here. | 1 |
After director Joe Johnston's savagely disappointing attempt to bring the Marvel superhero Captain America to life three years ago, the creative minds that brought us "You, Me and Dupree" (Anthony and Joe Russo) somehow get a crack at the sequel, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". Though it sounds like I'm ready to rip this movie, to my surprise "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" was (for the most part) quite entertaining, with visually stunning action sequences throughout. But even more surprising, especially because this was made by the guys who directed "You, Me and Dupree" (I don't know if I mentioned that disturbing bit of trivia already) is how this theatrical release also contains much more well timed laughs than I bargained for.
If I'm not mistaken, Captain America is less of a goody goody and more of a "bad ass" in this installment. Right away we get to see him in action, throwing people around and basically kicking major butt. Thus, a huge reason as to why "The Winter Soldier" works as well as it does, has a lot to do with the directors keeping the octane at a relatively high level and not boring me to tears. Any real flaws here (and there are a few) would only be noticed by audiences who attempted to actually break the plot down.
The Synopsis: Just as Captain America aka Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) has nearly adapted to life in the modern world, a beaten and bloodied Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) shows up in his apartment, where we learn that S.H.I.E.L.D has been compromised by a villain from Captain America's past. He is also confronted by a bad guy who goes by the name of the Winter Soldier, whose strengths seem to match up suspiciously well to that of the Captain's. The story itself is pretty good, even though it is bogged down with a lot of double and triple cross espionage-type twists and turns that I didn't quite understand. But much like the last Iron Man film, where "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" runs into trouble is with its villains; one played by Robert Redford and the other the aforementioned mysterious Winter Soldier. Even though the movie starts out with an awesome fight sequence between the Captain and George St. Pierre, the main villain is an old man named Alexander Pierce (Redford) who spends the whole movie in one room and the other is the infamous Winter Soldier, who is made to look pretty intimidating for a while (again, kudos to the direction) playing an evil version of Captain America. But even his storyline leads to revelations which softened his villainous exterior and a final battle which left me cold and wishing that I could fast forward to the post credits teaser clip. The fact is, for having his name included in the title, the Greek tragedy-esque connections between Captain America and the Winter Soldier was far more fascinating than actually watching the Winter Soldier do anything; which is a problem.
Side Note: I guess I must mention that this film also stars Scarlet Johansson, who by design plays a huge role, reprising her character, Black Widow. As if audiences had demanded she get more screen-time, Johansson is in 80% of the movie, wearing her signature form fitting one piece and seducing every male "bad guy" to nearly an inch of their lives. Anthony Mackie is also in this playing the Falcon, a sort of side kick to the title character. He flies around and stuff, but that's about it. Moving on.
Final Thought: "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is impressive for a Marvel sequel, but still (as far as Marvel films go) its more along the lines of the first Thor film than the first Iron Man film, mainly because the character of Steve Rogers is still very two dimensional. And before I get hate mail, this is not a direct knock on the movie, but more so of the character himself. I understand that the "total good" characteristic of Captain America is by design. My point is, I don't believe it translates all that well to audiences who nowadays would rather see a shades of grey antihero, than an old school hero whose morals are impervious to a dynamic character arc. | 7 |
Don't get me wrong. If you're 5-12 years old, this movie is probably great. But if you're an adult, this movie is absolutely awful. The fact that it was nominated for best film of the year only proves there's some politics at work here. There's no way ANYONE in the academy thought this was the best film of the year. What a joke! I'm a fan of Gosling and Robbie, so I thought I would see something of value. This movie puts the 'H' in HORRIBLE. 'A hot pink mess' is actually a kind review.
I have to write 600 words for this to be submitted, so I'll continue. The music was dreadful. Don't get me started on the script and the acting. If I have to say something positive, I would say kids will probably love this. Stay clear if you're an adult. | 1 |
2 stars for Tom Hardy trying to support this entire film. I liked the first Venom but this is nothing but filler. Woody gives it a decent shot but it's way off the mark and the plot is straightforward and expected.
There are tons of ways to script a sequel to a popular movie. These writers took the most obvious and easy way to complete it. It feels like a teen could have written this and was passed off as original.
Poor performances all around. | 2 |
Being a big fan of Tarantino, I was looking forward to this but walked away feeling he had conned me out of a decent film or story. There is no denying Brad Or Leonardo's acting prowess and that is what gets the stars. Interesting to see Brad looking younger than Leo as each day goes by !
The film didn't seems to know what story it was telling with the resulting mess that the story arc was flimsy at the most. The build up wasn't the right build up to the climax, which itself was more of a whimper than a climax (no matter how much you try and pad out with some QT violence). Margot Robbie's character could have been played by anyone with hardly any lines or real acting to do. Had any other writer or director pitched this film, it wouldn't have got any big stars and probably wouldn't have been funded - fortunately for the money men, they were guaranteed a return based on it being QT.
the whole point of the film could have been done smartly in a 30 minute short story film.
Very very disappointing and a real case of style of substance..... | 5 |
Simply an amazing story with interconnected character plots. Loved the direction and all the performances from a stellar cast. Kudos to Anurag Basu and Netflix for producing the film | 10 |
I really really wanted to love this. There was so much scope for "Pandora-like" world fiction but these guys have marked it all up with their "telemundo" crap. What BS! I'm done after 3 episodes and that never happens. | 1 |
It was an OK movie. I don't understand how you can give an Oscar to a movie that's just kind of meh. I was hoping that the ending would be something super interesting or exciting but instead it was just kind of sad. I feel like to call this a masterpiece is an insult. It was a movie it happened and it was two hours long. | 5 |
I purposely made an IMDb account to write this review. It sucks so bad. Hannah is a a rude/self absorbed chick and not like anyone facing depression. The plot makes no sense (wow we get it - 13 episodes, 13 people you blame for your death) and the over acting is horrible. No high school is like that- with tattoos showing and people dressing like that. This is over dramatic melodrama that is hard to watch. I think it's got high ratings because kids that are on social media non stop think this is how the world is and give it a good rating. | 1 |
I like a movie with a good built story, an acceptable plot, a leading thread and a final good or bad climax. This movie has neither of them. It shows a succession of stories, episodes and scenes although with the same characters but dispersed and weakly linked. Those parts may be well acted and directed anyway. The story is about several facts, happenings and events of the lives of a TV actor and his stunt in past century sixties. Not particularly interesting nor thrilling. | 6 |
You'd get this. A smart baby perhaps, but frankly a bit of a mess. Loki and Marvel fans are likely to be disappointed, but the show has some merit with some novel ideas on time and purpose. Worth a watch but don't get too excited. | 6 |
It becomes overly jaded and unrealistic. You can't blame others for your problems when you literally committed crimes causing those problems. | 2 |
Awful, absolutely awful last season. Whyyy? What is up with Ani anyway? And why wasn't given almost any importance to what happened to tyler? | 5 |
A bit over hyped but it's an ok to good movie watchable and intense at times , it's a really good science fiction movie without all the stupid unbelievable imagination. | 7 |
i saw MNIK several times every time i watch there is new thing to learn and understand. A great man from India once said "An eye for an eye will make the world blind "
"nafrat aisi aag jo sirf tumhe jalati hai"
thank you Karan & Shibani for such a great story.
Shahrukh sir you proved again, a great work by the casting directors thumbs up guys.
I as person has no rights to criticize any art, but i would like to say that this film could not have been great if it was not directed by you Karan A great job guys continue to such work | 8 |
I am amazed to see so many high marks for this film.
Three of us went to see it last light, and came out thinking it was probably the worst film we had seen this year.
1) The direction was a mess.
2) The script was awful.
3) The FX were terrible.
4) The was no chemistry between the leads.
I can only guess the high marks are from fanboys or from those that go to the movies only when a Marvel film comes out.
It is so rare for me to look at my watch during a film, and could not believe it, when I looked at it at the hour mark.
Total mess.
Why does Marvel let anyone else destroy their characters outside the MCU?
The critics have got this film spot-on. | 3 |
I expected way more. Pretentious and boring. Really liked the opening number, even though I had to put subtitles on to see what they were singing about, but it was not a representation of that the rest of the movie was like. Unfortunately you're stuck watching Emma and Ryan stumble their way through a movie with some bad vocal coaching and a very scetchy story line. Would not recommend | 1 |
Now let me begin by saying that this may be one of the greatest animated sequels that we have ever seen. It is now totally in the league of Toy Story and Shrek.
I loved how the storyline continued from the last film and matured along the way. This time its a lot more serious and also very emotional. here we get to have a look to the sad past of Po the Panda as he quests to unlock his lost childhood memories, find his true origin and most importantly find the inner peace. The story was fast paced and well crafted, it didn't felt rushed or stuffy even though they have given a lot in less then 90 minutes.
There is way more character development than the previous one. There is a perfect balance of humor and action of and thankfully the humor are less about Po's eating disorder or weight problem and more witty and funny.
The voice talents are great as before. The animation was nice with just enough 3D elements and some 2D flash-back stories.
At the end it is safe to say that Kung Fu Panda 2 was a delight to watch and well worth of your time and money. If you are a animation lover you just cant have this summer without watching Po the Panda. | 8 |
This has to be the most overrated movie of all time and it nowhere near deserves this attention and surely none of the hyped awards.
La La Land is a cute story, mediocre movie and has some nice dance and music scenes, but THAT IS ABOUT IT!
The singing of Emma Stone and Ryan Gossling is absolutely a joke and falls flat entirely. It does not reach the quality of Moulin Rouge or other film musicals like Dream Girls. Well, maybe it isn't even a musical at all and they happen to just sing a bit.
I can not understand the hype and accolades this movie gets!
Most overrated and boring movie of all time! | 1 |
This show is quite remarkable, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are mature and at least 14 years old. At first, I was appalled by it's dark topics and humor, and how it was so straightforward about that type of thing, but then I realized that first: the show is hilarious, and second: it expresses real-world conflicts and issues extremely well. I couldn't pull myself away from the show, and frankly, I never wanted it to end because of how intriguing it is. I said it was appalling at first, and that's true, but only because the show is very real and genuine, and it talks about things that a lot of people deal with, especially teens. This show has some violence, talks about sex, but there is almost no nudity, and the language is pretty bad sometimes. The biggest concern for kids, or even some adults, is the dark topics discussed (but that's what makes it good!). The excellent writing, casting, directing, etc. of The End of the F***king World shows real-life scenarios in a (dark) funny way, and it will truly leave a mark on your life, and I highly recommend it (for ages 14+). I would also recommend watching it at least two times all the way through. The first time, you might not catch all the details/underlying themes, and it gets funnier every time. | 9 |
FB I was seemingly the worst of the J.K. Rowling films until this sequel aparated; FB II (Crimes of Grindelwald) connects the dots between Fantastic Beasts I and Harry Potter VI, making all three (sorry, FOUR) films a bit more interesting, though (as was the case with HP VI) FB I and II could have easily been made into ONE film rather than dragging fans along for the profit.
We're all well aware that J.K. Rowling was basically homeless when she suddenly hit it big -- and that Johnny Depp is now basically destitute and suing his managers for gross misappropriation of funds -- but that doesn't mean that the team should make sincere HP fans destitute by dragging the story out in this greedy little enterprise. Can you conjure a good EDITOR?
Working past the rolling plot that is incredibly hard to follow till all the special reveals towards the end (NO SPOILERS!!!), Jude Law is underutilized and Johnny Depp is a bland version of Jack Sparrow. The ministry figures are all underwhelming and the presence of several other side characters futile. Seriously, knowing there are so many more films to this story, I BEG YOU to find serious editors and stop being such profiteers. | 5 |
Such a long boring torture! Waste of time... gave me a headache.... 3hrs..... why??? | 4 |
Couldn't wait for this movie to come out since I'm a huge Tarantino fan, but unfortunately I was disappointed by it. The movie has no backbone (plot) at all and the dialogue is shallow... two things I thought I'd never write about a Tarantino movie. The acting is good and all technical aspects of movie-making are great as well, but the movie doesn't seem to go anywhere and for the first time during a Tarantino movie I found myself waiting for it to end instead of hoping for it to go on forever. | 6 |
Not a bad show at all, but it never found its own voice. The cast wasn't bad. The only episodes that were good were episode 3 with the flashback romance and the one in which we get the flashback showing how Ellie got bit. Assuming you've played the game, everything else is as you remember just more rushed. I truly hope that season 2 shows us something new set before the second game rather just adapting another story we've seen. The show has potential so surprise the audience and could be truly worth watching but as it stands it feels pointless. It's just the cutscenes from an old game in live action. Show us something and use the cast you've got in interesting ways. | 7 |
Like everyone I was psyched out of my mind for interstellar.I was further psyched when I took a look at this movie's rating on IMDb after it's release.This movies has some good elements but you can clearly identify some of the cons of this movie. The best thing about this movie is Matthew McCounaughey who is simply on a roll. His acting was phenomenal. The supporting cast was also great. This movie has a really strong ensemble cast. The score by Hans Zimmer is really good especially because it merges fluently with the dystopian atmosphere of the movie and the visual are a treat for the eyes along with the cinematography. The direction is good and has Nolan's innovative touch.
Now with the negatives.First of all this movie is confusing to the average movie goer. It is confusing because it uses a lot of fancy words and scientific terms to cover it's not-so-interesting plot.The movie tends to drag on and the dialogue is not that great. Also the movie is too complicated aside from the terms used in the dialogue. It is proof that just because a movie is different and overly complex ,it isn't great or 'stellar'. The movie is a bit boring and tries too hard to impress the viewer by further complicating itself and doesn't quite succeed in it. | 7 |
After watching endgame, I have always wondered about that scene where Loki disappears with the help of tessaract. These guys really plan keeping future in mind.
Y dun they run governments 😁😁
So loki is alive and back again in another time line ..but getting to see owen after a long time is a treat in itself .
Surprisingly ,hes not looking that old .1st episode is worth watching ,let's see what comes next .
Welcome back Marvels. | 9 |
Meh - I had trouble understanding half of what was said and when I did understand the words it didn't help. The movie was trying too hard to be "Art" and ended up being garbage. | 2 |
When I started JoJo, my life changed for the better, the first part, JoJo Phantom Blood, could bore many people, but I assure you that it will improve, and could become one of your favorite anime/manga, if not your favorite. In JoJo there are many references to the world of fashion, music (from classical music, rap), art and much more. Araki's design for me is wonderful, so much so that his works in 2009 were exhibited in one of the most important museums in the world, the Louvre. A Also its openings (that also changes based on what is happening in the episodes) are beautiful, also musically, Every time I listen to them I get very excited. | 9 |
If you like a movie with no real characters, full of stereotypes from the boring 90s movies, a dull plot full of cliches, a very uninteresting story told in a most boring way, kindergarden level acting, then look no further. I won't bother going into details. There are already many long and detailed reviews out there explaining why and how everything about this movie sucks big time.
I thought Ant-Man (speaking of which has an imdb rating of 7.3-?!?!) to be the worst movie in Marvel Universe but they managed to prove me wrong and outdo themselves. Kudos Marvel dudes.
I give 2 stars for the sake of the CGI guys who apparently spent the most time and effort for this movie.
Last note goes to IMDB ratings. Marvel recently is not only successful in creating movies almost as bad as DC, but also in destroying IMDB ratings' credibility. 7+??? Guy Ritchie's King Arthur has 6.8, which also is overrated, is much more of a movie compared to this piece of junk.
Thank you for inspiring me to write my first ever review. | 2 |
I love Ben Affleck and I feel like people unfairly give him a hard time. But, after falling asleep the first couple times I tried to watch this 2 hour movie with a great cast, I kept asking myself, "Why does everyone love this movie so much? I mean, it's a fine movie, but it's mostly dialog and it's kind of boring. What is the deal?"
We live in a time where national borders seem fuzzy. Terrorist groups spring up overnight, with new names and new agendas in new parts of the world. Groups of thousands of people are considered 'migrants' and they just roam with no home.
So, in this era of uncertainty, Americans with money fear travel, and they fear the poor, and they fear the general idea of 'terrorism'. Affleck and the studio tapped into that fear, and this movie got way more attention than it probably deserved. The critics panned Affleck as Batman a couple of years later, and 'Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice' (2015) was a much better film than 'Argo' (2012). This is simply a case of Hollywood fearmongering - embracing anti-Muslim sentiment to sell Blu-Rays and DVD's to conservatives in Wal-Mart stores.
This is a fine movie, but it is a critical fluke. History will remember Ben Affleck and will remember many of his projects, but history will forget 'Argo' (2012).

First of all, I loved season 1. Season 2 was weaker but still good enough to long for the third installment.
In short it seems like Disney got a hand in the third season giving all the leads in season 3 to women destroying the basic story of a tight nerdy boys group on adventure. The nerdy boys turned to dumb casanovas a year later with almost everybody having a girlfriend except Will. Really? These guys were pretty smart in the first two seasons but the third season they turned into idiots, come on! Ok not every single one of them. Speaking of Will, the only contribution Will had in this season was feeling the back of his neck and saying something like he is here. None of the guys had a lead role in this season, Dustin came really close though. Not sure why the push of all the women in strong lead roles had to be incorporated in Stranger things. This story was about the boys and this basically turned to a long episode of the power puff girls. On top of that the mysterious tone set in the first two seasons was almost non-existent in the third season. The tone was more comical and the ending felt like the last episode of GOT. Wait what, was that it? UGH! Utterly disappointing and hard to correct in the next season. Thanks for another crap season of a favourite show (Black Mirror) | 4 |
Iron Man 2 left me a very pleasant taste. Maybe it doesn't have the same amount of action than the first one but it is compensated with better CGI, a better developed plot and a more interesting story. Billionaire Tony Stark must contend with deadly issues involving the government, his own friends, as well as new enemies due to his superhero alter ego Iron Man. As I say before, this sequel isn't full of action like the first one but in my opinion it has enough to leave you satisfied and entertained. It also has good moments of humor specially from Robert Downey Jr. The cast is excellent, and practically the same of the first one with the addition of Scarlett Johansson as Natalie Rushman/Black Widow and Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vankov/Whiplash and the substitution of Terence Howard with Don Cheadle as Rhodey, in fact I think that with Cheadle the movie gains in acting . Downey is again perfect as Tony Stark/Iron Man, it is a role made for him. Gwyneth Paltrow is good enough as Pepper Potts and Samuel L. Jackson is excellent as Nick Fury. In conclusion, Iron Man isn't as exciting as the first one but it has everything to be a total summer blockbuster and pleased the viewer. Oh and one more thing be sure to stay at the end of the final credits to watch a very good surprise. | 9 |
