This movie is overrated as heck. Still, it's not terrible. I HATE the ending, so much. Great acting, especially by Jim Carrey. | 7 |
Just remake it. Lets forget about this abomination and an insult to the genre. It lacks humour, light heartedness, wittiness, connections between characters, and just isnt any truer to the story either. This has nothing to offer. | 3 |
The latest installment in the epic Harry Potter series is utterly amazing. Sitting in the movie theater, you do not realize that you have been watching this amazing movie for well over two hours until it cuts to black and the credits begin to roll. Harry Potter fans, such as myself, know that this is only the beginning of the battle and all the crazy confusing battles are not until the latter half. Where the split the film is a good decision, but it leaves the viewer dying for the second part; probably great planning on WB's behalf. Well done. It is lacking something though, but as someone who read the books I'm going to believe that something is missing, but overall it is an amazing adaptation. | 9 |
Great script and congrats to Ram. Watched the movie and was thrilled and felt I was experiencing the scenes along with Vishnu. No flaws and even if there were it was not visible.. Every week there are movies releasing, this was not one among them. It's unique and hats off to the entire team. | 10 |
Bad: Continuity errors, plot holes, a generic action plot
Good: REALLY good CGI scenes, tonnes of action, explosions
These hitmen work for a billionaire, yet the cars that they drive have no bulletproof armor plating, and they themselves don't even have bulletproof vests... so this billionaire either cares very little about his crew, OR that's just another plot hole amoungst the dozens of other plot holes in this movie.
Another plot hole is that they don't use an EMP Generator in the movie... that would have solved a huge problem for the group, but apparently, a billionaire can't afford an EMP or something.
Overall, it's a mindless action movie, that will deliver an overdose of explosions and pretty ladies, if that's what you're looking for. 7/10 | 7 |
A disturbed and damaged Vietnam vet returns to his native New York and take up a job as a taxi driver; which gives him a perfect viewing platform for the horrors of big city life.
As a portrait of New York inner-city sleaze in the 1970's - the city really was broke and falling down (literally and morally) - it is important and accurate, but sadly descends in to the morbid and then the ludicrous, in that order. Thankfully with have prime-time De Niro in the lead, one few actors that can go crazy without totally alienating the audience.
While many focus on the nonsensical ending as their main quibble, mine is with the main character. If you want to condemn sleaze you have to do so from a position of being above it or beyond it: Our anti-hero seems to be right at home in the gutter with drug dealers, pimps, whores, gun sellers, porn theatres and general riffraff. He as much a consumer as a condemning witness.
Very good acting by all concerned and well regarded, but also a very disposable movie. What are we learning here - that Times Square was (it has been cleaned up since) a sleaze pot? Or that the big city has an ugly underbelly? How stupid and ignorant does Scorsese think we are? I found the whole thing slightly depressing and even dangerous - political assassination as a way of making a love gesture?
(Talk about handing out irresponsible ideas to the general public!)
This is the voice of a man (with writer Schrader) saying "nothing can be done." As we have seen, things can be done and things can be made better. The writer and director are, here, a bit like tabloid journalists, secretly head-over-heels in love with what they are pretending to condemn. | 6 |
How do we begin to describe 'Interstellar', Christopher Nolan's most ambitious film to date? There will probably be no doubt, once you've seen it, that it reaches for the stars; whether it manages to get there is quite something else altogether. Whereas 'Inception' showed the filmmaker's refusal to be restrained by physical dimension, his latest sees him attempt to take an even bigger leap across space and time, envisioning our three-dimensional reality as part of a larger five-dimensional whole, and employing some of the very best technical wizards to create such wondrously dazzling visuals that you cannot help but be mesmerised.
By imagery alone, it is flawless. A dying dust-choked planet Earth in the near future is depicted in a somewhat familiar yet eerily unsettling landscape of agrarian society. A single spacecraft is seen as a gleaming spark against Saturn's giant gaseous rings. Bright flashes alternate with pitch darkness as the same spacecraft enters a wormhole to emerge in a different galaxy. Each planet we explore in this brand new world is a sight to marvel in itself - one an endless expanse of water where waves rise higher than the eye can see; another is pure ice, where even the clouds are snow chunks. And amidst such surreal beauty, the one scene that will probably stay in your head for a while is that of different moments in time as a binary puzzle, meant to illustrate a key relationship in the film about gravity and time.
Since his breakthrough hit 'Memento', Christopher has displayed a fascination with twisting time, and 'Interstellar' is no different. It may unfold in a largely linear fashion, but it plays with time more than you realise. On one hand, time is relative, such that one hour on a foreign planet counts for seven Earth years passed - so much so that while Matthew McConaughey's NASA test pilot named Cooper looks the same throughout the film, Timothee Chalamet and Mackenzie Foy as his 15- year son Tom and 10-year old daughter Murphy are replaced midway by Casey Affleck and Jessica Chastain respectively. That is the easier part - and then there is the scientific mumbo-jumbo that sees time in the context of black holes, gravitational singularities and the possibility of extra-dimensional space.
Another hallmark of Christopher's films has been their cerebral aspirations, but 'Interstellar' surpasses all his previous works by (over)reaching into an unnecessarily convoluted labyrinth of hokey quantum physics. To be sure, it is very serious about being serious, throwing about plenty of technical dialogue and making no apologies for assuming that its audience for smart intelligent beings. A lot of that will undoubtedly whiz by on the first viewing, but by trying to engage on such an intellectual level, it ultimately becomes the cause of its undoing with a logic-defying second half that cross- cuts furiously between Cooper in a race-against-time up in space and Murphy in a similar position back on Earth. Even without thinking too much into it, one already gets the nagging sense that it violates its very own relativity principle of one hour versus seven years.
Yet ironically, that is also the most entertaining segment of the film, which otherwise spends too much time (in Earth years, we may add) on melodramatic partings and monotonous stretches in space. With his brother, Johnathan, Christopher wraps the heady interstellar voyage around the bond between parent and child, or more specifically, that between Cooper and Murphy, who takes the parting especially badly; but these supposedly heart-rending scenes at the start are overwrought, and no thanks to Hans Zimmer's incessantly intrusive score, terribly manipulative. In contrast, a simple scene where the camera is simply trained on Cooper as he cries his eyes out watching years and years of backlogged video messages left by his son back on Earth is much more poignant - and without a soundtrack that instructs you how to feel.
Much as Christopher tries to ground the movie in the humanity between Cooper and Murphy, 'Interstellar' is better appreciated as an exposition on big ideas - and there are many bandied about here. Mankind's place in space is encapsulated in McConaughey's lament that "we used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars; now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt". Much later on, Matt Damon pops up to make an emphatic point about survival as the primal instinct, and by that, we mean survivial of the individual, not the human race. That is nicely contrasted against the motivation behind Cooper's mission itself, which his mentor Professor Brand (Michael Caine) reveals on his deathbed to be much more selfless - or selfish, depending on your perspective - than what he had initially told Cooper.
Similarly, 'Interstellar' is a film of many contradictions. It wants so desperately to be intellectual, so it grounds its science in the theories of renowned CalTech physicist Kip Thorne, but it violates these principles in favour of building a more thrilling (and complex) narrative. It wants to be moving, but it under-develops the relationships between its characters and then tries to wring emotion out of every intimate scene. And at the heart of it is an unblinking motivation to be important, to be significant, to be monumental, to matter like Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece did, and to be both science and fiction at the same time. Indeed, there is no doubt it reaches for the stars, but 'Interstellar' remains right where we are - gazing up at these constellations, and never quite getting any closer to them. | 6 |
This thing is so cliche it made me cringe.
Terrible writing and flow. The way characters interact is so illogical. For example first episode with Renfri. Renfri and Geralt literally have less than 5 minutes of conversation before they hook up. Just gratuitous and lame, no reason for that
Dandelion isn't funny as he is in the game, just annoying with the lame Joss Whedon / James Gunn esque "comedy"
Time in the show is a disaster. Weeks will go by in literally 5 minutes of show time. For example Yennefer in the witch school. Literally 3 scenes, a few minutes each and over a week has passed in the show.
Exposition is so forced. It's beyond me how this has over 8. | 3 |
After the buzz of "how's the josh" I desperately wanted to watch URI. Our soldiers live a tough life. How difficult it is to leave your family and go fight for the nation. Indian Army- We are proud of you. The film was absolutely gripping and what a delivery from the protagonist. I think this is the first wartime film that Bollywood has made which is stupendously brilliant. Words like "New India" indeed defines the way things will be moving in the nation hereon. India will always be powerful when it comes to war. Patriotic lovers will have a ball in the theaters. | 9 |
The movie makers (intentionally) dropped hints left, right and center.
If you missed them, it's a really great experience. But if you caught them, the entire story is just waiting to unfold what you already know...(about half way into the movie).
It can't be compared to movies like Looper which make no pretense of being an intelligent thriller. They are simple action movies which use time travel as a plot device.
However I had to dock points for Predestination for all the promise and falling short (primarily by being too predictable). | 6 |
But wrong in a number of ways. The casting. The disco music. The editing. The Martian is too long, not funny where it tries hard to be funny, and has that "teenagers rescuing the world" feel when you look at the other astronauts. I could go on as there is much more. Like the use of duct tape to fix every problem. On the plus side: Matt Damon is okay, the Martian landscape photography looks great, and the story in itself is a good one. But it all does not feel like a Ridley Scott Movie and is just so so. A solid 5 stars. | 5 |
Its a good, clean movie, which can be watched with family. In recent days there are very few such non-vulgar comedy movies in Hindi. Because of which the success of this movie is really appreciable.
Story line is very simple. Mr. Khosla (Anupam Kher) bought some land with his retirement money and found that he has been cheated by Khurana (Boman Irani) a powerful and rich builder. He tried to get his land back with all the legal efforts but found that he is not going to get any help from corrupt system. He gave up the fight after police captured him.
Finally his oldest son who was about to settle in New York comes to his rescue. He and his girlfriend, who is working in acting school makes a plan to cheat and get money from Khurana. What happens then is what you have to see by yourself.
The movie puts a very good light on the corrupt system, as well as, the position of youth of India. The eldest son Chirotilal is a good symbol of all those software developers, who wants to leave India for better career, but are still held here, due to their duties towards parents. The movie as other Bollywood movies, also feature love, family drama. But the main theme comedy is there till end.
All the actors have done their best. Songs though not much are good to listen, and did not make us bore. Overall, its a good movie, which can be watched in family. | 8 |
I have only seen ep1 and I'm hooked can't wait for the rest. The only reason I gave it a 9 and not a 10 is because I've only seen ep1!. Can not believe this really happened. Chernobyl is horror | 9 |
Started off very strong, hooked you in with a mystery you know was right around the corner, yet kept you wondering. Throughout the middle of the movie I hit a certain spot where I realized I could guess the rest of the film.
At this point the film turned to average at best, with the ending being flat out lame. I was sorely disappointed as the movie gave me a lot of hope and drew all my attention at the beginning. The main premise ended up being, "an average person can solve the impossible, and overcome all." This is an used up premise that can become average real quick.
One of the best takeaways was Norton's acting combined with Craig's throughout the first half of the movie. | 5 |
Despite the popularity of "The Witcher" screenwriters should have considered that there are people that never read the original novels, nor played the video games. I am one of those people, I don't know anything about Geralt of Rivia and his world. Too many things were taken for granted, and I had to do a little research online, in order to get some things straight.
Season one fails to set the fantasy world and its rules, a lot of characters are introduced and never properly developed, some of them just disappear in a whiff. I couldn't understand why someone was important and why he or she was there in the first place. Moreover, there is definitely an exposition issue, as people speak about elements that I could not quite understand, because they were never properly explained. A few dialogues are exhaustingly long and do not add anything new to the story, if not repeating concepts that the audience already apprehended in previous episodes. Another problem is the narration: there are three different story lines that seem to happen parallelly, while in reality we are seeing events in an unchronological order; I understood that halfway through. By the end of the season you have a clear picture of the entire timeline. Still while I was watching it, I felt very confused. I think that they could have done something on the editing level, in order to help the audience visualize what was set in the present and what was a flashback.
With these premises I have approached the second season with much skepticism. Fortunately, a few issues were fixed: the story is more linear, so it is way easier to follow it. I have really appreciated Geralt and Cirilla and I loved how screenwriters developed these two characters. Their relationship is deepened and the lore is expanded. Cannot say the same about the Yennefer narration, which feels very unbelievable. She is used just as a filler to hit the one hour mark per episode. Her story is just too distracting and brings me away from the plot completely. The character became even more unbearable and I lost every faith in having something decent related to her in this show. In fact, I am a bit worried for the third season, now that the paths of the three protagonists finally conjoined.
Visual effects and CGI are overall good and Netflix managed to build quite a captivating world. Fighting scenes are well executed and the photography is neat, therefore from a technical perspective the series is valid. Henry Cavill practically dragged the show on his shoulders and he was convincing. Joey Batey is a good sidekick and he gives some funny moments here and there, taking the edge off. The rest of the cast is pretty mediocre: Anya Chalotra has pretty average acting skills. Yennefer, who is supposed to be one of the strongest mages of the Continent, needs to be constantly saved by the Witcher. Moreover, most of the time she acts like a spoiled teenager that is always seeking attention from others. Freya Allan has just one facial expression that carries for the whole series. I genuinely could not understand when she was sad, happy or scared. The soundtrack is varied, there are epic instrumental tracks and a few ballads that really immersed me in the story. Songs such as "Toss Your Coin to Your Witcher" and "Burn Butcher Burn" are really amazing.
The writing quality feels very inconsistent: there are some episodes that are amazing, while others are just lame. If you had previous exposure with this franchise and you are already familiar with its world, you will probably enjoy this show more than I did. If you are a newbie, I am afraid that you may find the experience slightly frustrating. | 5 |
I'll first point out ledger's brilliance in preparing and executing his character without getting much into that. Just brilliant. Now, what has always caused me great disappointment about the Nolan trilogy is the action, how action scenes are shot, almost like taking the focus out of the fight or struggle taking place. Maybe Nolan deliberately camouflaging his incompetence in that department. But anyway, dude, every time I see the joker he looks like an old man, when he is a very skillful guy with knifes and in combat. Now batman, each time I see him in the suit it's no hard for me to imagine an eighty-year-old man with arthritis trying to move around. This is the thing people seem to miss about it. This is just a drama. Some good and sometimes decent acting. There's no showcase of the years bruce wayne has been practicing martial arts god knows where. All in all, the action sucks, photography is just decent, nothing out of the ordinary. I you get me batman I want the fights in there, and better be good. No to take away from the production crew and everyone. I just wanted to point that out and get the hype down. | 6 |
The opening scene in "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" has Ann Mullany (Andie MacDowell) talking with her therapist about all the garbage that humans produce. Where are we going to put it all, she asks. One might say that the irony of her talking about garbage is that she never looks at the garbage in her personal life. Married to a philandering executive (Peter Gallagher) - who's having an affair with her sister (Laura San Giacomo), no less - Ann lives a sexually repressed existence, and spends her days cleaning her house, a clear sign of no fulfillment in her life. But that might all be about to change, now that she's met Graham Dalton (James Spader).
Steven Soderbergh made a great directorial debut here, leading to the prolific career that he has now (including executive producing "Syriana" and "Good Night, and Good Luck"). The cast members all do a great job with the roles, and the script is laid out perfectly. A great movie. | 9 |
I find this movie very hard to rate . I was bored watching this , almost didn't understand a word they were saying , thank goodness for subtitles, but the acting , WOW , what a performance. Believed every inch of these character's ... anyway, very weird movie, the black and white is just annoying to me , but did incredible work with the lightning... so yea ... i give it a 5 for the creativity & the acting but beside that , it was really a boring movie to watch ! | 5 |
I only want to comment on one thing and that is most of the characters whispering their lines at inappropriate times. It is irritating beyond all belief. Mr. Robinson is the worst offender as he whispers in a harsh voice like he has a sore throat. | 5 |
This is in my opinion one of the best marvel sequels, and by far the best spiderman sequel. I dont know what it is about this movie but the way doctor octopus (Alfred Morina) is portrayed is literally spot on and I love everything they done with him, as for Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) I thought he was great once again, definately an actor worthy of a movie series!
This is by far my favourite spiderman movie after spiderman (2002) two amazing film that deserve much more attention and worthy of MCU appearances. There's something about how Sam Raising tells a story through a movie inspired by the comics, most adaptions are just the idea with faint details but this goes into much more than a little detail, its amazing and wirth the watch.
Highly recommend, perfect follow Up, watch this movie! I know its an old one but it deserves a review! | 10 |
This movie is a very boring copy of the original but with no emotions what so ever! What a waste of time and money! | 4 |
Honestly if You want to feel constant anxiety with no gratification at the end, watch this. Literally a waste of time. Like everyone says it's super loud, which I honestly didn't mind because we've all sat through some loud ass movies. But screaming is A LOT of the move and I didn't fully know who was supposed to be who until it was halfway through. Even then they kept throwing new characters in with no background story as to who they were or why they were there. There was no full description of the plot at all. | 3 |
Reviewing this after only two episodes, but I am sure I'll keep watching. The script is a bit corny and dialogues rather shallow, but the story itself and the choreography is really good.
I'm glad they got Alik Sakharov on this. | 4 |
My Name is Khan is a terrific film, and of course I really enjoyed seeing all the Bay Area scenes. It is amazing that, despite living in India, how much Karan Johar has an NRI mindset. All the scenes, dialogs, situations, characters, and extras seemed so authentic as if he's taken actual snapshots of life in the US. Minute details such as California fashion, American dinners, the Autism alert card, arrogant attitude of interrogators, or even gospel choir in the rural South have been paid close attention to.
Kajol acted flawlessly as always. The role of Rizwan Khan is an utmost demanding one and really has tested SRK's limits. Dustin Hoffman has immortalized his character with his perfect performance in Rain Man. While SRK has the milder Aspiringer's Syndrome, rather than autism, comparisons between the two performances are unavoidable. It looks like SRK didn't win this competition, but his performance was still relatively good, no doubt. All the supporting actors did a fantastic job. I particularly liked Aunt Jenny, Jimmy Shergill's wife, and Sarah.
While KJo has done a fantastic job of making his film look truly American, it has been presented in a "too polished" manner. I don't believe realistic cinema is KJo's forte. His films are too glamorous, glossy, and fine-tuned to bring out the raw emotions of a dark world. KANK was a disaster in this regard, while MNIK is a huge improvement but still could have been better. Well-established stars also can be a deterrent. We all know what the film is about, but come on; every Bollywood fan wants to see SRK-Kajol in a Bollywood musical romance--not the way they were paired in this movie. Films like New York and Kurbaan have done a much better job with the post-9/11 genre. For the first time, KJo's film didn't have a must-buy soundtrack. Sajda is a nice song, but that is the high point of the soundtrack. Another major flaw in this film is the timeline; the "incident" is shown to occur in the wake of 9/11 (not later than 2002), and SRK begins the search to meet the President; 6 months later, it is 2008. | 7 |
Shows some good stuff, can't lie. Home lander is a bad, bad man. Truly hurtin on the inside but really shows a lot about the world today. I would tell your momma and maybe even your heckin gma to give it a view... | 9 |
I had some hope before season 2 started.
No more place for hope. Imbecilic delusional garbage which stole the name of successful universe and try to make some money on it.
No logic. No pacing. No characters. No world development. No dialogue. No visual.
Even if consider THIS as completely generic fantasy with no backstory, it deserves no more than -10 of 10.
If think about it as successor of Sapkowski's books and CD Project games - its best is -1,000 of 10.
Burn in hell forever, Netflix. | 1 |
How is this rated an 8? It's just corny and not good. | 2 |
The show was very graphic. As a social worker, I recognize it's important for the general population to be exposed to mental health and the sexual assault. However, the way it was potreyed in the show was crude, triggering, and could lead people in the wrong direction. There are other ways to have the conversation. | 1 |
At the beginning was a very interesting and obligation to be attention to the movie to understand the all movie but was a let down was soon was the the history is telling because it is getting more easy to understand and less confusing I was not paying attention and I totally understand the entire story but was very confused why start with a lot of things to think and after just start to let down and get very easy and those things.
I just had a huge let down because the movie could have more history but doesn't have and it could be to use the brain because at the beginning with the use of the brains was very good and caught my attention. | 4 |
Read reviews and wasn't sure tbh But I really enjoyed it If u can handle subtitles definitely give it a try
I Definitely recommend this film 100% | 9 |
No explanation for the plot whatsoever. Iwaa waiting for two hours for the movie to explain wtf arw thw cretures and what exactly do they do, but no, jus no, they didnt, fknin explain anything! | 3 |
"The Boys" is unique, jocular, and most importantly a layered iteration of Superhero storytelling. A rudimentary example of an aptly incorporated satire that rests among the facets of black comedy & unfettered gore!
As a fervent fan of Comicbook movies, I was eager to see what sort of narration this show brings to the table! After witnessing two seasons so far; I can safely say, it is unquestionably a fascinating piece of art.
A Social Satire depicting toxic Celebrity Cultures & unmasking the dual-faced personalities that our so-called 'Idols' inherit. Politics, Religion, Race; pick any contentious subject matter and you would find the obvious trails in here. Looks like the makers knew exactly how to cash in on the relevant issues people talk over nowadays!
This kind of narrative might not appeal to everyone but if you can keep your conscience clear enough; it's quite worthy of your time I figure! Diversified characters and fairly eminent performances from the entire ensemble will help you during those proceedings. Specifically, two prominent names come out in front! Karl Urban as 'Butcher' and Antony Starr as 'Homelander'; two immaculate enactments that do leave a solid impression.
That being said, the Screenplay does suffer from recurrent phases of languor. Moreover a slew of brusque edits worsened the eventual outlook.
Therefore, it appears to be more prolonged than necessary. Albeit I gotta admit: Season one didn't have half the concerns the second one seems to bear!
Nevertheless, I look forward to its continuation!
Season 1 - 8/10 Season 2 - 7/10. | 9 |
Was bored in first hour and stopped watching it pretty much boring and hard to follow It was not as dope as I thought it could be i didn't enjoy watching it especially for 3 hours straight seems impossible i recommend watching chernobyl instead it was far more impressive whereas i ended up reading a wikipedia page rather than wasting 2 more hours for nonsense Was bored in first hour and stopped watching it pretty much boring and hard to follow It was not as dope as I thought it could be i didn't enjoy watching it especially for 3 hours straight seems impossible i recommend watching chernoby instead it was far nore impressive whereas i ended up reading a wikipedia page rather than wasting 2 more hours for nonsense. | 2 |
Oscar winning.... All the best to Nagraj Manjule Sir.... Proud of you Sir. All the characters wer soo good. Brilliantly directed
Keep doing good work. | 10 |
Easy shots by skilled players make this a fairly disappointing finale to arguably one of the most depressing set-ups in action film history.
While not fully predictable, there certainly aren't any surprises. Plot points were easily filed under "sure. Why not."
Heavy handed, almost disingenuous, with it's moral platitudes; the film couldn't muster any real investment in it's characters' developments. It had to rely on cheap TV drama level sentimentality. Requisite emasculation and patronizing feminism negated each other. It basically felt like the producers just don't know any, or even worse, like any actual humans.
Oh. Pacing was tortuous. You're going to see it anyway, though. So have fun.
Bonus points for ID-ing the purposeful use of satanic imagery at the end of the movie. Why. Just why.....? | 3 |
This is aasassination of loki character. Sylvie is Mary sue in loki who took all the charms. Woke. | 1 |
I anticipated terror but all I got was a repeat of a film I already saw (the Happening) and that movie had an explanation and sinister ending. Someone wrote that they wished they had seen the film with a blindfold on and I agree. | 1 |
Heard good things about this movie but in the end it just ended up being very average.
Will be forgotten by the end of the year. | 4 |
Most people probably would have answered "Iron Man" when asked about their favorite stand-alone Marvel movie since Favreau's adaption hit the cinemas in 2008 but in 2014 our beloved Marvel superhero received some serious competition. At this time "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" hit the cinemas. Having never been a huge fan of the first movie or of the hero himself in "The Avengers", my hopes for this one were pretty low and I even considered not watching it but gladly I did!
Steve Rogers alias Captain America (Chris Evans) still tries to accustom himself to the new era. He and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) regularly observe secret missions by the order of SHIELD 's director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). Soon he learns that SHIELD got infiltrated by agents of HYDRA and additionally the world 's most dangerous assassin the Winter Soldier is in pursuit of him.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" takes Marvel movies to a new level. When watching a Marvel movie you can usually expect a lot of well-done action, a great protagonist, a little bit of a love story and enough humour to keep yourself entertained. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" brings all those elements typical of Marvel to perfection and even adds something new. Besides the Winter Soldier being for Marvel's standard an extraordinary villain with a great emotional impact on Chris Evans' Captain America, the movie can be viewed as a political thriller taking place in the Marvel universe as well.
If you are a Marvel fan you probably will love this movie such as if you are a fan of action movies in general. The only recommendation before watching this film would be to be familiar with the first Captain America movie (and in the best case "The Avengers" as well) otherwise you might not understand every notion of the movie fully.
To sum up, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is my favorite movie of 2014 and every fan of comic book adaptations should watch it! | 10 |
The movie was poorly executed around a boiler room drama script, which was largely forgetable. Majority of scenes were unremarkable and dull, as were the characters themselves.
The idea felt derisive of A Quiet Place, but there is little in common with it. If you thought you were going to be watching something similar then you will be dissapointed. | 1 |
With the exception of agent Coulson, none of the characters are believable. There were far too many feeble attempts at integrating humor into the characters' dialog. This is characteristic of all four episodes that I suffered through. I have a hard time believing that Stan Lee whole heartedly signed off on this. In typical tinsel town fashion, the brand of Marvel is being misrepresented and smeared by horrid deviation from the core concepts which established Marvel Comics's greatness. Why Hollywood producers insist on forging nonsensical spins and manifesting grossly deviant interpretations of Marvel story lines is beyond my comprehension. In short, "Agents of Shield" is a ridiculously bad show. | 3 |
Normally enjoy Tarantino films but this one lacked everything his previous films had - a plot and great dialog. I kept waiting for something to happen and had to wait until the final 20-30 minutes for SOMETHING interesting. I see 9s and 10s for this and those are either studio bots or die hard Tarantino fans that would give a 10 without watching it. Bottom line - boring and pointless describes this film. | 2 |
This show has gone downhill in the later seasons. Just watch the first 5 and enjoy, by the time you get to Seaton 10 it's become too slapstick and everyone delivers their lines too quickly. A shame but enjoy the early work. | 7 |
The Science of Deduction has come.
Sherlock has me spotted as on of the best TV series i have watched over the years. Followed by many others. When i was first introduced to SHERLOCK by my colleagues, i was skeptical because i confused the TV series with the movie with Robert Downy Jr. which i did not fancy very much. In fact i was bored while watching the movie. Benedict and Martin have really showed me the enthusiasm of this TV show. I am highly impressed as each episode is a movie with a great plot twist. Although only 9 episodes have been released to season 3, Sherlock always comes out with Over 90 Minutes of good quality footage and VFX's.
Sherlock has successfully trapped me, a must watch TV series as i recommend. In my other reviews, i always talk about the Soundtrack because i love to admire the music just as well as the movie. I'm not particularly interested in TV soundtracks, but once again Sherlock has a wonderful soundtrack to listen to in your spare time, just like i do.
I'm sure everyone and i will be awaiting the return of season 4. Great work to the whole BBC and Sherlock team, keep up the awesome work. | 9 |
About Stranger Things, I looked forward to this series. But as my rating suggests, it did not deliver.
First let me say I am no longer young. Second, I am not so old that I need a film to be explained to me. But I simply did not understand much of what was going on in the final three episodes.
More important however was that the characters never seemed to act like real people. Particularly the adults. Case in point, one mother and father in the series never go into their son's room - not once. If they had they'd have discovered with whom he'd been sharing that space and well, that would ruin the story. So, I understand the 'why', but I think it could have been handled lots better.
As for the kids' acting; really terrible.
Finally, if there was one more scene of the kids jumping onto their bikes I would have screamed. In fact, I did. | 1 |
As someone enthralled by Game of Thrones I come to House of the Dragon full of anticipation, even salivation. So I suppose it's not surprising that so far I am slightly underwhelmed.
The characters are well drawn but a little one-dimensional, certainly compared to the more nuanced and complex Lannister family for example. The plot is rather ponderous so far. Even the dragons are, well, a bit plastic looking by today's standards of CGI.
And there's no humour to relieve the long, slow, plod. No Tyrion to amuse us with drunken tales and endless misdemeanours in the whore houses. Heck, none of the characters are even gauche enough to yell at us to fly through the moon door. What does Daemon Targareyn do when confronted by his niece on the rampart? Well I'll leave that unspoilt but it's hardly a Game of Thrones moment, is it?
I'm sure it will pick up. It had better. | 3 |
What a movie !! It isn't only about revenge but how the entire intelligence & army machinery works flawlessly to deliver the surgical strike with precision & aplomb. Amazing acting by everyone in the movie.
Can't believe how the critics have got this so wrong. Clearly shows how out of touch they are with the content movie goers appreciate and want to see more of these days.
Watch the movie & feel proud of our Special Forces, our Army !! | 10 |
The awesomeeeeeessssssst movie :).. Kung Fu Panda-1 was hilarious, outstanding, mindblowing and this one is no different.
There are many reasons i liked the movie 1. Its different than the first one. the whole concept is different and they haven't tried to use the same jokes as the previous movie. Of course it is good vs bad, but then which movie isn't!! 2. The sense and timing of comedy is great. At least it appeals to me. 3. Po, The panda character is my all time favorite. His expressions throughout the movie itself makes me laugh. 4. It amazes me how creative these guys are. You will realize this throughout the movie.
I cannot say that there are any drawbacks in the movie, because its job is to make you laugh, and , i was hysterically laughing throughout the movie. Even the fights have a great humor in them.
This is one of the very few movies which made me laugh forget about everything and shamelessly laugh in the theatre. Am definitely going once again to watch the movie. | 10 |
It's really good serial and really worth to watch... It really show anything just in 5 episode!! | 9 |
TL:DR It's really good, and you should definitely watch it if you have a Netflix subscription, and if you don't, sign up for a trial and binge it.
Being my first review on IMDb, it takes a particularly good show to get me to say anything to anyone about it. After just finishing '13 Reasons Why' about 20 minutes ago, I have so much to say, but first and foremost, it is a fantastic show. One of the best I have seen in a long, long time. Originally, I didn't want to even watch the show due to the numerous gushing reviews praising the show for it's realistic showcase of Teen suicide, rape and much more. Not that I am against that in television entertainment, but I surely am not too keen on that kind of dark, dreary subject matter for my rare moments of time I have alone to enjoy any T.V. series at all (at least not at the time). But after being under the constant question of "hey have you seen that show yet?" and "Oh come on you have to see it's brilliant!" I decided to give it a go. Two short days after starting the show, I have finished the entire series of 13 episodes on Netflix. And I couldn't be happier that I did.
Without getting to personal, I, like many others, have had people in my life that I knew, and didn't know, commit suicide. 2 of those incidents where in my high school and middle school years. I remember vividly the pain and trauma the deaths of those kids created. The devastating effects of their deaths left to weigh on the shoulders of all who knew them. It was painful, dark and terrible. I knew, that when I was watching the first episode of this show, I was going to feel that again. This immateriality put me into the mindset of just how serious and genuine this show is. The show holds no detail back, making it one of the most authentic recollections of high school I have seen. The students incessantly curse, the students are rude to each other, the graffiti on the wall is vulgar and crude, people you meet turn on you, every one is trying to fit in, even if it is against their own personal morale code, the staff at the school are incapable of helping students deal with emotions or issues. All of these things are displayed through the show in incredible detail, and for the first time in a long time, I watched a show going back to high school and following the story of a suicide victim which was not hyperbole, which was not G-rated health class watching material, and was real. That alone made me fall in love with this show, and it's characters.
Aside from sentimental reasons as to why I enjoyed the show, objectively speaking, the shows actors/actresses are fantastic at their roles. Dylan Minnette's character of Clay is (for me any way) incredibly relate-able, and easy to empathize with, while Justin Prentice's character of the glorified ass-hole character of Bryce gives the people watching a person that we all know too well, the high school jock who is not only the most popular person around, but also one of the most terrible, cold hearted, two faced people ever known to man kind. All of the actors/actresses are fantastic at portraying the characters in the series, all with different purposes and personality's. Being that the concept of the show is 13 reasons why Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford) killed herself, each episode devolves into specific characters, and what was happening in their lives specifically at the time that they did/did not do something to make Hannah feel as if she needed to take her own life. As such, there are very few filler episodes (if any, I don't recall there being an episode worth skipping or having little substance to the show) or a story that wasn't well done. Which leads me to the attention to detail in these scenes. Let's put it this way, the show certainly will make you uncomfortable in these scenes. Some are very hard to watch because of it. And that is by far one of the strongest attributes to the show. The lack of "sugar coating" and the absolute refusal to skip the "hard" or "taboo" topics in this series is beyond respectable. It's authenticity, it's acting, it's writing all culminate to make this one of my favorite shows I have seen in a very long time. And no, this show does not IN ANY WAY glorify suicide, or encourage the act. Its gritty nature and raw acting display that ten-fold. This is a show I believe you should watch just because it is so well done, but also to help better understand teen suicide, and how as people, we can all be better to each other by showing how not to treat one another. 13 reasons why is genuinely fantastic, and I cannot recommend it enough. | 9 |
One of my favourite TV-Series of all time I guess theres maybe one complaint (not really a complaint but whatever) For me ( I'm Swedish) that british accent can be a bit hard to understand. Sometimes i have to either replay that moment or enable the subtitles. Otherwise... Fantastic show! | 9 |
To be honest everything was obvious from the start no surprises or twist in the story which made it look plain , there isn't even anything to spoil cause it's already spoiled from the beginning lol , all the hype and great reviews for what ? I do not understand maybe for the actors I'd assume so. | 4 |
Seriously pathetic movie and 3 and a half hours of this nonsense. Hard to believe it's the same man who made departed.
Really sad to see De Niro and these losers glamorise this rubbish way of life. | 3 |
This anime is absolutely outstanding in almost every way. The fall of Light Yagami is perhaps the most invested I've ever been in a negative character arc. Seeing him go from a promising, relatable teenager to a sadistic pseudo-god was both exciting and devastating. This series delivers a heavy message about the fragility of human morality and it doesn't pull its punches. Death Note's antagonist L is one of my favourite characters in all fiction, and his cat/mouse dynamic with Light is second to none.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of Death Note's anime over the manga is its music. The soundtracks in this series are an iconic blend of drama, divinity and darkness that fits the series' tone perfectly. The anime does deviate from the manga very slightly, most notably in its ending, and while I found most of the changes to be unnecessary, this a relatively minor issue. My biggest issue with this series is that its supporting cast isn't as fleshed out as it could be, but that won't stop me from giving Death Note a well-deserved 9/10. | 9 |
Hitherto I have enjoyed all the outings of John Wick. But this episode was disappointing. I am usually very drawn in to the story and the action, but I was frequently bored during this film. The fight scenes were not as snappy as they usually are in John Wick movies. Many of the foes appeared not to have particularly strong or indeed any fighting skills. They were just goons to be dispatched with no sense of peril to John, even with John appearing to have very stiff joints in this film. There were attempts to make us care about the various characters, but these fell flat, as in this film the characters were cartoonish sketches, rather than someone we could have any feelings about. Over and over again, scenes were just a lazy nod to earlier themes. For example, the procurement of battle clothes and weapons which in previous episodes has been entertaining, was on this occasion very dull and looked like a careless afterthought. | 2 |
To put it succinctly, the movie is vividly full of both gorgeous environmental scenery and the horrific carnage of war.The storyline, on the other hand, is terribly empty coupled with some realism problems (i.e., as if they didn't hire a military advisor). It's like all the effort went into the former, and very little into the latter.
To keep from any spoilers, I will put this generally, even in the film's culmination- which took nearly two hours to build- it felt utterly lackluster. | 6 |
What happens when Super Heros are dark....total chaos. .and this series shows this world and definitely has some turns. | 7 |
What a brilliant performance done by Ajay Devgan Fabulous Dialogues Saurabh Shukla is awesome Story is fantastic | 9 |
Is this what passes for entertainment these days? If I was at a party and someone brought up the topic of multiverses, the very next words out of my mouth would be "excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom," at which point, I'd find the door. I'd just as soon speak to a devout Scientologist. Or someone selling Mary Kay.
I blame a lot of this on Christopher Nolan. Most of us can look back at inception and laugh, but, it was enough of a success to give pretentious losers pulling arbitrary and nonsensical plot lines out of their behinds a purpose.
I guess, if you're high enough, you can look past the absurdity, but, if you're combining a relatively clear head with just a smidgeon of common sense, this is more comedy than drama. | 1 |
The only redeeming feature of this movie was a chance to see a bit of Jennifer Lawrence in the nude - she's got a nice bod.. That's it. The rest of the movie was a depiction of duplicity, torture and sadism as carried out by the current version of the KGB. There are some formerly prominent actors in this movie - Jeremy Irons for one - but how they all must have needed the money to appear it this extremely violent and cartoonish movie. I felt that I needed a shower after watching this piece of junk. | 1 |
I love Steve Martin Short. This show had so much potential. Just not quite good enough. Story wasn't well-written enough to be a solid mystery, the comedy wasn't on-point enough to be a solid comedy. Also, does Selena Gomez have another facial expression? I didn't hate it, just was mostly disappointed about how much better it could have been. | 3 |
I do not understand any negative reviews as this was a long-con spy movie for intelligent viewers. You can become easily invested in the various characters, they are adequately developed & presented. The storyline is cohesive with multiple threads that tie up well prior to the ending. It has enough action sequences for even then those easily bored. An over all well done tale & movie. Kudos to all involved. Definitely worth watching at least twice. | 10 |
Just got done watching Iron Man 2!! I remember not liking it when it was released!! But whilst I didn't love it like the first movie, I did find it somewhat enjoyable this time around.
This one is a bit more concerned with setting things up for Avengers than the previous movies, I recall Jon Favreau had a lot of problems with the Marvel higher-ups, due to their constant interference, to the point that they were having him rewrite the script as the film was still shooting. In particular, elements such as the S.H.I.E.L.D. subplot, were the result of a need to establish the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe in preparation for Avengers, at the expense of the coherence of this film's own plot. I remember Rourke being upset his character lost a lot of screentime and character development as a result.
Downer Jr is again great as Tony Stark, Rourke hams it up well and is an intimidating villain!! I surprisingly did not take to Don Cheadle as Major Rhodes, which is strange as I like him as an actor!Garry Shandling, on the other hand, is an actor I hate. Something about his face just irritates me. Sam Rockwell is on form as the smarmy Hammer.
Only Toy Story 3 and Alice In Wonderland grossed more than Iron Man 3's $312 million dollar domestic gross. | 7 |
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has grown to encompass twelve films and four TV series the lions share of which have been enthusiastically accepted and celebrated by audiences and critics. That's close to a decade now where a cultural phenomenon, based on superhero spectacle, larger-than-life characters and interesting stories, has surpassed every other tent-pole to become the largest franchise ever. Captain America: Civil War (or Avengers 2.5 as it is dubbed) is lucky number thirteen. With a slate full of interconnected movies still set to 2019, it can be reasonably assumed at least one of these things has to be a dud, a catastrophe, a Batman & Robin (1997) level misfire. Will Civil War, with it's bloated cast, be the straw that breaks the camel's back? Have we finally reached a point were the massive MCU begins to crumble? Can Civil War meet expectations or will choke haphazardly on its own opulence?
The answer is not only a resounding no but a loud, thunderous hell no! Civil War is not only one of the most unabashedly entertaining popcorn blockbusters to come out of this year so far, it rivals The Avengers (2012) and Iron Man (2008) as one of the strongest Marvel films to exist since the inception of the studio's grand design. Manufactured with the determined ardor of its titular hero and forged with the surprisingly ductile malleability of the ever expanding MCU, Civil War is a rollicking ride, completely self-assured in its ability to please. Never have I seen a blockbuster so sure of itself; flexing its well toned, well hardened muscles to the amazement and guffaws of the film's target audience (which might as well be everyone at this point).
The film simultaneously continues the long-hanging character threads of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) and that of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and wraps them into a nice little bow while leaving a little something more to keep us hungry for more. Captain Steve Rogers (Evans) and his fellow Avengers botch a mission in Lagos, Nigeria leading to the collateral deaths of Wakandan aid workers. Secretary of State Ross (Hurt) sees the growing death toll directly and indirectly caused by the Avengers as cause for alarm, and asks them to sign a treaty relinquishing their private status. After the damage cause by Ultron, Iron Man (Downey Jr.) becomes the treaty's strongest advocate and obliges Black Widow (Johansson), War Machine (Cheadle) and Vision (Bettany) to sign. Captain America and Falcon (Mackie) however refuse. Things become much more complicated when a bombing during the signing of the treaty is blamed on Cap's old friend, the mind-controlled super soldier Bucky aka Winter Soldier (Stan). What's worse, the bombing killed the Wakandan King whose son T'Challa (Boseman) vows revenge. T'Challa uses the resources of his country to construct a Vibranium suit he uses to battle foes as Black Panther. Meanwhile Cap and Falcon race to find the Winter Soldier before authorities do, and try to get to the bottom of who's behind the bombing.
Other plot points involve Ant-Man (Rudd), Scarlet Witch (Olsen), Hawkeye (Renner) and (drum-roll) Spider-Man (Holland); gingerly added on to the espionage thriller antics and burgeoning rivalry that dominates the film. Seeing all the plot elements on paper would make anyone assume the film resembles a house of cards, poised to topple at the first slight breeze. Well folks, not only does the movie stand on its own, it juggles the various side-plots in such a way that it would make even the smallest theater audience erupt in applause. I honestly don't know whether I should be amazed, impressed, waiting gleefully in anticipation for further installments of the MCU or feel bad for DC whose own expanded universe is struggling to get past the starting line. Not to bring up a sour point but Captain America: Civil War sidesteps the problems that plagued Batman V Superman (2016) in such a way as to resemble a guy on the best day of his life skipping past a dirty puddle.
Civil War is so sure of itself as a movie that its central conflict is relatively minor when compared to the world shattering exploits of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and the Thor series (2011-2017). Our main villain Zemo (Bruhl), for all his malevolent posturing, fades into the background with intentions so intimate as to be both inconsequential and surprisingly melancholic all at once. His master plan proves simple when compared to the lofty goals of Loki, Ultron or even Ivan Vanko, yet the results he gets prove emotionally loaded. It's just as well since the infighting between the Avengers proves electrifying with everyone (yes even Hawkeye) having a chance to shine. Particular praise should be bestowed upon the minor appearances of Spider-Man and Ant-Man who despite small screen times leave big impressions in more way than one.
The MCU has officially reached critical mass. Even if the upcoming Doctor Strange (2016), Thor: Ragnarok (2017) or Black Panther (2018) are all total busts, they can do nothing to damage Disney and Marvel's endgame which as far as narrative goes is an ultimate, mind-blowing showdown in The Infinity Wars (2018-2019). What started as a risky little idea has turned into the dominant force in an entire popular movie genre and by extension the childhood and young adulthood of an entire generation. Civil War is but one of the tightest bolts in the machine that promises at least three more years of comic-book superhero bliss. Like the Death, taxes and Donald Trump, the MCU is now an unassailable reality. Here's to hoping it does us well. | 9 |
Best story,really make excited And i really like henry cavil | 9 |
The production quality and decent acting on the part of just a few characters is what kept me around to finish the first season. And the fact that I just HAD to stick around to see if there were any actual legitimate reasons for her decision to commit suicide in the end. Most of the other negative reviewers have already hit the nail on the head. I knew as I watched that I couldn't be the only one rolling my eyes and literally saying "Come on!" out loud.
So here's my run-down: Most of the characters suck. Nearly all of the male characters with the exception of Clay, who could save us all 13 hours if he'd just listen to the damn tapes. Hanna just sucks as a person generally, and she's way too self obsessed. The weird little Wilmer Valderrama/Bruno Mars type guy just walks around saying cryptic stuff. If I wanted to watch 13 hours of self obsessed teenagers complaining about non-issues, I'd go to a Bernie rally. | 2 |
The Umbrella Academy is a show just hooks you from the opening episode only. It's cool, exciting, colourful, suspenseful, enthralling, awesome and amazing. The introduction of the dysfunctional family and the showcase of how they come together to fight for a bigger cause is wonderfully shown throughout the 10 episodes. Granted that the show is slow-paced, but in a way that keeps wanting you for more of what happens next. The 2nd season is much better than the first one because (1)- It comes straight away to the main point without wasting any time and (2)- The cinematography, the suspense, and the slick action sequences that follow.
Moreover, the length of the episodes between the 1st and the 2nd season prove to be of great difference between the two. While the 1st season has hardly any episode that doesn't go over 50+ minutes. The 2nd season is the complete opposite of that, I.e. There is only one episode that is of 50 minutes. So by this only you should have the idea which season is better in the storytelling
Now, speaking of the main characters, everybody is sketched in a good way but Five and Klaus's characters are the highlights of the show. While Five's track gets the majority in keeping your interest in the show, Klaus's track provides the most laughs. It's only Vanya's track that seems boring at times, especially in the 1st season. Luther's track is divided into two opinions, some people might hate him, some might love him. Diego and Allison's tracks are the emotional ones.
Violence is balanced between the episodes, so it shouldn't be any trouble watching this show with your whole family
Overall, it's a must watch show for sci-fi and superhero lovers with a taste of comedy and emotional family drama. Don't miss it! | 9 |

Not really much of a story really, very over hyped.
I wouldn't reccomend watching at the movies.
There were some cool multiverse things, but it went nowhere. | 4 |
This show was not what I was expecting at all, and at first I couldn't watch it, but with commitment it is totally worth it. I had to stop watching this show the first time I tried it, it seemed too weird, confusing, random, and I didn't like the main character. And trust me I normally love weird stuff but this was too much. But If you persist, all of the questions, and weird stuff works out. And more important than that, the character development is phenomenal. The characters are broken, reborn, and work through their issues, growing and developing in an awesome way. Also, one of the truest depictions of how I believe love happens. Not through love at first sight, but through persisting through challenges, butting heads, growing to see what you like in people, and in the end, working together. Not a perfect show for me, due to a few odd episodes and characters that never seemed to reconcile with the plot, a constricted setting, and a few too many loose ends. I was expecting more searching for old computers and interesting gadgets, a more epic battle in the post-apocalyptic feature, and more direct battles with SERN and the Organization. It seemed to me, that at the end of it all, despite fixing their own time line, the main bad guys were still at large! But maybe I just didn't fully understand the plot... does anyone?
However, this show is a rush! Dig in and work through every episode, you will be mind f*&ked, confused, sweating balls, and freaking out, but in the end it will all be worth it. | 9 |
I don't like many of scenes of this movie, i only liked Hugh Jackman's acting. I can't say This is a Very good movie... | 6 |
I've seen the inflated review aggregate, and at the risk of being dismissed a contrarian, I seriously disagree with the accolades. The Avengers movie I saw contained no character development whatsoever; no character starts off ignorant, growing to enlightenment, or overcomes cowardice to become a hero, or any other example of behavioral character arcs. By the end, they are as they begun, unchanged, and definitively two-dimensional. The lack of character development is compounded by uninteresting, witless, filler dialogue (despite a few one-liners which managed to draw a giggle), with Dr. Stark and Dr. Banner, i.e. the alter egos of Iron-man and the Hulk, occasionally foraying into esoteric scientific jibber-jabber, that only served to bore me even more. In saying that, Downey Jr's, Tony Stark was the only mildly interesting and amusing character in the entire piece; the rest of the characters I couldn't give a shite about, despite liking them in their stand-alone movies. It seems Director Joss Whedon and pen pal, Zak Penn, are unaware of the law of diminishing returns, whereby the repetition of anything β in this case, fist-fights, and gun and super-power battles β eventually numbs to the point of indifference. Speaking of indifference, the limp-wristed, laughable, horn-wearing villain, Loki, was about as menacing as having a series of ping pong balls pitched at you. And the death of (no spoiler here) was about as emotionally moving as having your pet weevil larvae die. Effects-wise it seems despite the advances in CGI made by Avatar, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Avengers decided to go retrograde, the Hulk looking nothing more than a three-dimensional cartoon, and likewise with Iron-Man and the endless stream of generic alien henchmen. The green-screen for the most part looked phony due to the artificial interior lighting illuminating the actor, mismatching the natural exterior light of the background β an Age-old problem that some directors don't seem to care about, however seriously it affects the suspension of disbelief. Anyway, enough of my moaning; if you like mindless-action with practically no story other than goodies versus baddies, and if you're a fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, you'll love this. | 4 |
I am sincerely disappointed with this movie. Love all the HP-movies and also the first Fantastic beasts, but this was just a mess. It was impossible to keep up with all the different storylines and it took a new direction every five minutes. It is a inconvenience that you need to get through to watch the last movie. | 3 |
This is a typical movie that only gets high rated cause of its high status maker and actors. The movie itself and its story is just like any budget crap. Its not logical at all! | 1 |
I came to the series because of the Tiktok trend of the famous dance from the fourth episode, and I discovered a promising actress!
As someone born in the 80's who knows the Addams family, I didn't feel a special connection to the original concept and it felt like a completely new concept to me, there is a bit of a feeling that you are watching Harry Potter. The script is great for teenagers and feels entertaining for a more mature audience.
Many times during the series, the script became forced to connect to places that probably wanted to take the series, I have all kinds of unresolved parts along the way. I didn't feel enough tension in most of the episodes, and at some point you start to realize that anything can happen in Wednesday's favor, which is a shame. Especially in the last two episodes.
It's a shame they didn't choose a successful enough cast of actors like Jenna and of course the goddess Catherine Zeta Jones. | 6 |
Because you ASSUME a MALE identifiying individual raped your child - IT MUST HAVE BEEN A MALE - assumption make's an ass out pf you. And a LAZY film plot.
Pathetic.... try to think a little more dynamically, please - that is if you continue on being professionally aligned with currently accpeted self identity psychological thought........
Please perform this same idea again, within the realms of acceptable Judgment free idealism.
Thank YOU (producers, actors, extras, etc.) for you'rw dilogent effort!! | 4 |
I had a lot of hope for this movie. I thought it would be darker. I thought they would have used Venom as the monster he should be. Instead it was just Spidey in a black suit. Yes, I know it wasn't Parker, but it might as well been. There was so much potential to do something different here. Really disappointed. | 4 |
Horrible direction, messed up writing.. is this loki show? This is sylvie show. | 1 |
The series was really crazy and brutal lol. Jon Bernthal did (frank castle) an incredible job playing a role as a sociopath with no remorse and no compassion for his enemies. He portrayed his role very well, very good acting. | 8 |
OMG. I watched exactly one episode, and I already kn ew where it was all going. What a shallow, silly show. Its more like a parody of 1980's high school, and maybe its meant to be, but with slightly updated clothing. No idea why everyone liked it. I guess mostly because people watched it before they knew what good drama is. | 1 |
One of the worst movies I've ever seen! Totally overrated.
Endless martial arts fighting scenes without making sense. The story is so chaotic that it is nearly impossible to follow, at least for me. It is almost painful to watch, 2 hours and 19 minutes of torture. Don't waste your time in watching this movie. Until the end I hoped it would make sense, but it didn't.
The acting was very good, though. However, what happened to our universe if a movie like this gets 11 acadamy award nomination? I can't remember when my opinion so totally disagreed with the critics and other viewers. For me this is the most disturbing thing about it! | 2 |
This show is trash. Complete and utter GARBAGE.
This is NOT what could have been a very good Marvel show with the original actors. It is a very confusing attempt at being a 50's sitcom based on Marvel characters with extremely flat humor.
I did NOT drink the Koolaid and will not be participating in the false hype that this drivel has inspired.
The worst part is I pretty much guarantee they will make another season, or even several. Popularity is what matters after all... | 1 |
Reminds me of High Town. Similarly, it appears to be painting the town it's based in in a worse light that it really is/was. Similarly to HIgh Town, I can't like any of the characters. They're bad, mean, macho; there's nothing redeeming. What's the entertainment factor here? Sad. Couldn't continue watching. There's so much else out there to watch. | 4 |
The excellent score, big money actors, impressive computer generated graphics and the death of Heath Ledger have obviously landed this film into a spot where, frankly in today's trendy, hype-loving, Hollywood-idealizing society, it squarely belongs. The fact that this film is number FIVE on the IMDb top 250...now that says a lot about who uses this website nowadays.
Christian Bale's performance is unmemorable. His 'Batman' voice is over-produced and doubled-up to sound more superhero-ish. Maggie Gyllenhal is hardly acceptable as the film's 'belle' whom Aaron Eckhart and Mr. Bale both adore and long for. She isn't that great. (sorry Maggie!!!) Michael Caine seems bored with the whole project. The best actors are Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman who don't need a big budget mess like "The Dark Knight" to validate them as actors. Michael Keaton made a better Batman than Christian Bale. And now, I, The Lone Biker of the Apocalypse will spill the beans and skate on a sacrilegious razor blade: Jack Nicholson made a better Joker than Heath Ledger.
By about an hour and a half in, I was looking at the clock, wondering when it would end. There are more twists and turns than a full season of "General Hospital," so many it hurts your neck to watch it. It comes across as being a jumbled mess in the end. Harvey Dent's fall from grace is so predictable you'd have to be a middle school student not to see it coming. And why the hell did they keep referring to Batman as 'The Batman?' That was just annoying.
After all, I guess it was middle schoolers who have been on here giving this movie TEN stars. To say it was bad would be silly, but let me be frank: I am taking away 4 points just because I'm irritated at how overrated this movie is! To all you guys who told me 'you have to see this in the theater, it's the greatest movie ever made!' be thankful I was too busy last summer because I'd be coming after you for my ten bucks.
3 out of 10, kids. | 3 |
I had really big expectations for this movie. A number of good (if not very good) actors, a plot revolving around a series of heists, and an impressive trailer meant that I started watching it knowing that no matter what, I wouldn't leave disappointed...
... and I was wrong. I won't get too far into details, but this movie has many wrongs.
First of all, though the actors are all pretty good (I liked Zombieland and The Social Network a lot, and am usually not disappointed by Morgan Freeman), they only play themselves. Jesse Eisenberg is a stereotypical pretentious-yet-unsure genius, Melanie Laurent a Frenchwoman with secrets, Morgan Freeman is the old-wise-dog, you get the idea. This creates two problems. The first is that this make it very hard to bond with the characters, but the biggest problem is the other one: the actors never actually play together. It's like seeing several one-man-shows mixed together.
Then there's the plot. I promised IMDb I wouldn't include spoilers, and I won't, but let's say that in addition to chasm-sized plot holes, it appears that whenever the storyline seems stuck, we get a one-liner from an actor, dramatic music, and suddenly the plot has changed and the intrigue is back on the move. This would be disappointing if used once, and it just gets annoying when used multiple times. Probably to cover the fact that the plot is indeed not very good.
I can see what Leterrier was trying to achieve by giving the movie its fast pace, but this also just leaves the impression that he's actually trying to confuse us so we don't see the movie's lack of actual interest.
I'll give it 5/10 stars for its overall slick visuals and because it still didn't bore me enough that I wouldn't get to the -below average- ending. But you should use your time on something better than this, and keep it for that winter afternoon when you'll be home, sick, and won't know what do to. | 5 |
It is hard to find a good TV series which will not disappoint you with the ending. This one is a hidden gem. Show is pumped with action, comic situation, and great thriller story telling. It really stands out. Only downside is that it is short, if you can call it a downside | 8 |
Fully wast of time. here one commander can bit lots of army solider in reality is not possible. movie action was not good though it was a action movie. | 1 |
This movie seems to be one of the best thrillers in the recent times......
The level of coincidence is amazing.....I cannot imagine a guy with so good luck which Vikram has in this movie....and it cannot be denied that it is possible .....
The acting is good by all characters in the movie and not all thriller movies end happily......this also ends perishing all the major characters of the movie....
But the most suspense part of the movie is at the end ....and that forces everybody watching this movie glued to the screen at the end....so better watch till the end and I hope everybody likes the movie as I did....:) | 8 |
I didnt think there could be a worse movie than this, but then I watched Aquaman and....yea, here we are | 4 |
Soundtrack and fighting scenes are quite good. The storyline is quite predictable. There're some outlandish moments, but overall enjoyable. I love Mary J Blige! | 8 |
I think they did a fantastic job with this show.
Every character has a back story that explains their why.
The consuming, sets, makeup, skilled cast, and storyline are currently incomparable to any other super hero programs right now.
Sometimes I wish that they just did a season dump so that I could binge watch, but the weekly episodes make me appreciate the show more.
The characters get more interesting with time. I really enjoy the new character that they introduce in season three. I can't wait for season four!
I feel like I can trust the producers and writers of this show to put out valuable, entertaining content. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother watching an unfinished show. | 9 |
Before the movie, we talked about how much more fun the Harry Potter franchise would be as a TV show, because that means that each season could be dedicated to a book and use anywhere from 12 hours to 17 hours to tell the story of each book. And some subplots could get their own episodes, like the various love affairs. This would have the benefit of resolving that storyline while isolating it from the darker happenings, and avoiding groaningly awful situationsΒ
On a TV show, you can have entire episodes that only minimally advance the main plot, but fill in the necessary color and resolve subplots. There's so many things that are half-explored that could, on a TV show, get an entire episode or two all to themselves.
Also noted is the following observation: Movies, even those that run nearly 3 hours long, are more like short stories than novels, and TV shows, with the space for digression and intricate plots twists, are more like novels. But in a perverse irony, movies and TV shows have the reverse prestige of short stories and novels, and so the temptation is to take higher prestige novels and turn them into movies. I have no doubt that this was the logic of turning "Harry Potter" into movies instead of TV shows. TV seemed too cheap for the series, especially back when they were first selling the story to Hollywood. But in the years since, prestige TV projects like "The Wire" and yes, even "Lost" have changed the equation considerably. A lot of TV shows are hands-down better than a lot of movies now, especially since the taboo against having intricate plot lines that make it hard to enter the story halfway in have been lifted. Though you probably wouldn't have that problem with "Harry Potter", which makes it even more appealing as a TV series. Viewers could enter at any time they'd like, and grasp the basic idea that Voldemort was bad and he's coming back, which would be enough of a hook to get them to stay and piece together the rest. | 10 |
Just love Jennifer Aniston's movies, but I have to say this was not in my personal taste. I would have hoped for a bit more romance and some quality humor which this movie seriously lacked.
Adam Sandler is a funny actor but together with Jennifer it's like oil and water "they don't mix".
Well edited, could have had some what of a deeper storyline, but not a complete waste of time if your just out for a simple movie to watch if you have a bad hangover. | 3 |
Realllyyyyyyy boooooriiinnng! Nothing new to see and one of the worst villans in tv history.... | 5 |
I never knew how low the Academy could stoop when bestowing the coveted "Best picture" award when it chose to do so for the movie, Forrest Gump. It is a movie celebrating mental retardation and toss in some Frank Capra of "Its a wonderful life" fame and the mantra, "you're never a failure if you have friends" and you get the fabulously contrived piece of cinematic drivel that is, Forrest Gump. This film is rarely talked about these days, matter of fact, you never hear it mentioned AT ALL. It's become the most forgotten "Best Film" Hollywood has ever produced! Sort of ironic when you think about it because a best film award should entitle a movie to some longevity on the shelf. But no. This crappy piece of celluloid demonstrates more the short term memories of the American people as they the were the ones who seem to identify most with the character of Forrest Gump. This intellectually stunted individual is celebrated as the pure embodiment of American "innocence." How pathetic! You have been warned. Please, don't support movies of this ilk. It belittles your claim to being a lover of cinema when you love such trash. | 1 |
Probably a good movie for a couple, but awkward to watch with your family. Don't think I can rate it 6.5, so I rated it 7 due to all the ridiculously low ratings. It's honestly not a bad movie. Just not a family movie <--- (This doesn't affect my rating, just a heads up) | 7 |
I will say this from the outset: this movie is most effective if you have kids. Dont have kids? It may not have the same emotional resonance, as Sandra Bullock spends a decent amount of the film trying to keep these kids alive. As with most high concept horror/thrillers, there are plenty of dumb people making dumb decisions. "Everyone keep your blindfolds on, except, let me just peak one quick second at thi...and now I'm dead" This repeats itself a little too much.
The negative reviews, many of them, come from people wanting more gore, perhaps, or they cant stand not seeing the *monster at every turn. Remember, Jaws worked so well because of how little we saw of the shark.
This movie really is more about the journey than the destination. Bullock does a great job, as do most of the actors.
Camera work, sound, minimalist visual effects, all top notch. The script could've been tightened. At 2h4m, it could stand a 20m haircut.
It's a good, not great film. I wouldn't have hated it on the big screen, especially all of the northern California redwoods and river scenes. If you're looking for something tense and moody, albeit a little slow, I think Bird Box is a good Saturday night. | 7 |
I know this isn't supposed to be a after-dinner-family-fun kind of movie but my god it was boring... even at the end I still thought there was some action coming, I mean no one would make a movie that dull, wouldn't he? | 2 |
I couldn't go beyond the 3rd episode, everything looks fake... | 2 |
It was one of the Marvel series that I least expected because I thought it would be boring and it was the opposite. | 9 |
