To be a 2.5 hours movie, it is watchable. The performance of the casting somehow keeps you interested. However, the science concepts they dive into, weather they are accurate or no, can be a little bit of a turn off and at the end the complicated relationship between Cooper and his daughter was the only thing that kept the plot alive. I just basically watched the whole movie to find out if he was able to came back to earth or not to meet again with her. So, yes, a kind of interesting movie, but if i have more than 2 hours to watch a movie, i would probably choose a different one. A little bit overrated i would say.

I enjoyed the first film, despite its very obvious flaws. Perhaps James Cameron waited so long to bring out this second instalment in the hope we wouldn't notice the almost complete repeated story of the first film. The only major difference to the first film is the location, with the ocean replacing forest. A film with stunning visuals, which this admittedly has in spades, this is utterly pointless as it lacks a compelling story with compelling characters. I'm writing this during the film which says a lot about how little I'm engaging with it, as a viewer; I've considered switching off a number of times. As with the first film, this one has some appalling dialogue, though this one has the addition of some really bad acting to boot. As an additional thought before watching this film and as it was set in the coastal region, I kind of hoped that it would involve the aliens seen in Cameron's much earlier film, The Abyss. Sadly, this was not to be. I'll certainly not bother watching the additional sequels.

Visually this movie is incredible. You can feel the sore backs and burning eyes endured by the VFX team who undoubtedly bled and cried for the CGI to be as good as it was. Story line wise, it had about as much depth as "somehow, Palpatine has returned". While it was interesting to see an expansion to the world the first movie introduced, that's all this was. Practically all ties with the original story line and lore were cut out. They tried to do something in one movie that should have been done in a trilogy, at least. If you want an action-packed, bladder-testing spectacle that demands no brain activity or analysis, this is your movie.

Know facts with Execellent direction acting and sound design which make you at edge of seat.

The show is good, loved the acting and how they get into the storyline. Not a big hero in Marvel universe like Iron Man but you will enjoy the show for sure. There is an issue of a so called genocide in the show which is far too political for a comic book adaptation.

Picture is so dark that I can't see more than the half of the movie. Many scenes are unclear. There is a story and movie is interesting, but nothing is clear because picture is just too dark, especially in the second part of the movie. The same problem is present with many latest horror movies. I don't recommend watching.

... most overrated movies of all times. Unfortunately, people check either 1-star or hype-star reviews, so this one will be missed, although it is realistic. 5/10 stars on my list

Season 1 while flawed was good overall with an actual story, season 2 was almost unwatchable. The characters introduced in S2 were pointless and unlikeable, there is a story so thin it could have been dealt with in minutes rather than hours and the once superb Tennant and Sheen - which made S1 such a delight - struggled with such poor material. The humour of Good Omens feels a little dated as it's the school boyish sub-pythonesque type of stuff that we see a lot less of today. Anyone my age and British will remember Pam Ayres and Adrian Mole and it's that kind of whimsical humour that is not something I personally like but was a big hit in the 80s when this was written. David Tennant does his over-the-top mockney Doctor Who kind of thing; Michael Sheen is wonderfully camp. It's trying way too hard to be clever for my personal taste but production values are high and I can see how it would appeal to people who enjoyed the book and appreciate 80s humour. EDIT: As another reviewer has said, anyone who failed to give this 9 or 10 on day one was immediately downvoted for having the "wrong" opinion. After all the 10 star reviews (do you REALLY think it's perfect??) Very few shows in my opinion are total drivel or total perfection- such extreme reactions are not helpful and make IMDB a lot less useful than it used to be :-/

The first season was spectacular, but it feels like the producers are kinda dragging it on now. don't get me wrong the show is great, lots of action, character development and keeps you on the edge of your seat... BUT it gets worse throughout the seasons in my opinion. i would recommend as it's incredible with a very unique plot but don't be suprised if it becomes less exciting.

Plot, writing, pacing, even acting was pretty damn bad. The entire budget was spent on fancy animations and pointless cameos. The entire movie is just a succession of flashy looking fight scenes that have 0 impact on an already weak plot line. This might actually top Captain Marvel as my no1 worst Marvel movie.

I was barely able to make it through the first season. This show is super boring and not at all interesting. The real struggle of this show is staying awake.

Waw, tried to finish it 3 times, an absolute mess and nonsense with the budget of 1k probably :))) some kind of matrix with dildos and butplugs. There is no storyline, no acting no logic just random footage mixed together without any sense.

Bow down to mani ratnam and his filmography. The music the way they use the Bengali songs in the initial stage that's make it worth it .a must watch..! And the movie is already 20 year's ahead it's hard to believe that it was flop in that era..in satrangi songs they used 7 stages of life..when Bollywood was busy doing serial dramas this is cinema..that everyone should watch it..the movie is remembered for the songs but direction acting and the love story..the dialogues...this is the most underrated film of srk.. although people don't listen the chaya chaya Tamil version it is also great one should definitely give it a try.

Excellent narration by Anurag Basu. Very good performances from Rajkumar and Pankaj. Best watch of 2020

I'm 23 years and I just finished watching Avatar the Last Airbender for the very first time and all I have to say is wow. What a show. I am completely blown away. I have seen a lot of show, and I mean a lot of shows. Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Big Little Lies, The Handmaid's Tale, The Wire, The Sopranos., Better Call Saul, etc, the list goes on. But Avatar the Last Airbender is one of the best shows I ever came across watching. Not just best cartoon, which it is, but it is one of the best shows ever made. The show is extremely well written. The world building is very detailed, the characters are complex and the storytelling is engaging. All what makes an excellent story. The animation style is very beautiful and unique and the show itself blends humour and drama perfectly. If you haven't seen this show, I highly recommended watching it. Please, do not sleep on Avatar the Last Airbender. If you are still disappointed with how Game of Thrones ended, I recommend watching Avatar. I guarantee you won't be disappointed with how it ended.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a superhero movie directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo and stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Robert Redford and Samuel L. Jackson in the leads. The sequel movie of the Captain America Franchise might not be that good but will not disappoint you. The plot is almost similar to other Marvel movies and you will not find anything new with few twists which are predictable. Screenplay is fast paced but is average and should've been more refined. VFX and action are the best part of the movie. Acting and background music is strong. The climax is also predictable but is entertaining. The best part of the movie is strong acting With great VFX and entertaining climax but the bad part is that the director hasn't tried to do much in giving the experience of great from good. Typical marvel fans and kids will surely enjoy this movie.

Overrated. There, I said it. It's fine but it won Best Picture against Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption and those two are far more memorable and long-lasting. Even Four Weddings and a Funeral gets talked about more than Forrest Gump does. The only thing that anyone remembers from this movie is "Run, Forrest. Run." and "Life is like a box of chocolates."

I wanted to like this series but it sucks. Cringe performance,bad writing and too much political. I never liked Anthony as falcon, he has no charm, no wit and a very very poor actor. This series should never be made.

I'll preface this by saying I'm not a casual viewer, and have multiple watches of every piece of MCU media, except one. Loki. (Which was poorly written, poorly acted and felt like a departure from the character we actually knew and liked) The person who wrote/created/produced Loki also wrote MoM. If like me you're curious and look into his credentials for "is this person someone who should be a lead on a marvel project" the answer is an overwhelming no and the proof is in the pudding. Michael Waldron had ONE writing credit to his name when getting the job, one episode of Rick and Morty (season 4, as we all know that's when it declined). Upon realising that suddenly the absolute mess of both this and Loki made sense. It has not been written by someone who understand narrative, character arcs or plot. This film pulls you from one scene to another with no more explanation than "because we said so". Now, this style works for Rick and Morty, like it or loathe it the off the wall episodes have a cult following for a reason. The MCU cannot fit that mold, there is far too much background and media to ask the audience just to accept the characters odd choices as logical. We know these characters and have done for some time, to change them so dramatically with no arc or explanation is insulting to casual and devout viewer alike. The characters feel wrong, intrinsically, and nothing like we know or recognise and actively destroys previous well executed character arcs (eg wandavision). The only good thing going for the movie is the actors do their best with what they have in light of a truly awful, cringe worthy and eye rollingly bad script, not that it helps much. Olsen particularly does a very good job portraying Wanda's insanity, but pointing out the pure sexism of her character is for another essay (of course Michael Waldron believes even the baddest witch in town seeks only to be a suburban housewife - yawn) With marvel sometimes you have to take things with a pinch of salt and suspend your disbelief a touch and trust the process- we all survived the dark world right. Dialogue can be a place where the MCU falls flat, in MoM this was on another level and truly there was nothing to distract you, the fights are littered by groan worthy quips and no characters come through with any personality or intelligence. "But surely" I hear you shout "surely the CGI is worth the ticket price", And yet,it is some of the worst I've seen of any movie- not just marvel (and yes I am including spy kids in this). From the first frame you feel as though you're watching a pirated copy, the cgi is noticeable and is fourth wall shattering. You're completely aware you're watching a (poor) movie and it makes it incredibly difficult to feel immersed, beck everything does here. Even very small things like the costuming and makeup fell flat, the women are all in heels with distractingly bad makeup even Stranges beard looked like it would peel off any second. Then came the cameos, and more cameos, and more cameos slowly becoming egregious and add quite literally nothing to the plot, for once no one reacted, at this point you're both so overwhelmed and bored in equal amounts that the cameos fall flat, luckily they don't stick around. At no point did a smile nor a speck of seratonin cross my mind during what ended up feeling like a true never ending experience. Overall I feel as though this film was a tale of two filmmakers with incredibly stylised visions. This clash of creators could have seen on paper as a rip roaring ride of a true multiverse of madness, only it didn't work. Michael Waldron had a vision that felt like a Rick and morty episode, and Sam Raimi wanted to do an mcu Evil Dead, as such parents might want to rethink bringing any yunguns. Objectively both of those are truly terrible ideas even taken separately. Together it makes the mess we were given I still am not sure what we even watched. Was it Doctor Strange? No. Was is a continuation of Wandavision? Also no. Was it a horror film? No. MCU? Definitely not. After the trailer it felt like a bait and switch, leaving the theatre I felt robbed of my time, robbed of my money and robbed of that feeling of joy I usually have after watching a marvel film in cinema, my fondness for the mcu has definitely taken a hit. In true marvel cinema style there was a moment where the theatre cheered almost as loud as Endgame, unfortunately it was when it ended- I was one of them.

The Twilight Zone based in technology rather than Sci fi. That's basically the best way to describe this amazing show. It can be dark, it can be heavy, but more often than not it's very compelling and worth watching. I will say, since this is an anthology, that some episodes will be very different than others. Due to a person's personal taste their favorite/not so favorite episodes may vary dramatically. One of my personal favorites is the second episode, Fifteen Million Merits, yet often times I've seen it in the lower half of people's lists...and that's ok. Each episode will speak to someone in a different way. It's part of the fun. As long as you can handle thoughtful stories that don't always have a happy ending, you won't be disappointed by this series.

When I first heard of this show I had high hopes but low expectations. After finishing the first season I have to say that my hope was rewarded and the overall quality reaching far, FAR beyond my expectations. Not only is this a good show, but is a GREAT show, in ways I didn't imagine. It is a psychological thriller centering around the relationship between Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham, where Mads Mikkelsen (excellently) plays Lecter as a truly cold and calculating psychopath and Hugh Dancy (also really good) playing a profiler with a superb, but double-edged ability to empathize with serial killers. And it is here we find one of the show's greatest (and most surprising) strengths; Graham's gradual descent into mental instability caused by his superior profiling capabilities. We're given a really dark and unpleasant view into someones crumbling mental state, and that's all enhanced by the show's dark visuals, graphic imagery and haunting auditory.

EOTFW is a compelling and highly character-centric story with dynamics and motivations that feel distinctly human and possible. It is a masterclass in the depiction of trauma, as all three of the main characters demonstrate different but nonetheless real responses to their own pasts. If I could change anything, it would be how distinctly tonally different the first few episodes feel as compared to the last. Sorry to say, but there is a fair bit of a cringe factor in the dialogue early on that necessitates a warning, "It gets better!" before it can be recommended. It isn't necessarily out of place in the grand scheme of the story, but first impressions matter greatly to many audiences, and I could easily see it being dropped early on by viewers who don't have a motivation to persist with it.

In Mrs Miniver the film had a propaganda even jingoistic elements that inhabited its story and characters. Dunkirk is a technical masterpiece but the story lacks an emotional core despite having excellent actors such as Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance. At one point I thought where is Hardy? The film is set in a nonlinear fashion and unlike Saving Private Ryan, director Christopher Nolan has eschewed blood and gore. Set in 1940 thousands of Allied soldiers have retreated to Dunkirk waiting to be picked up and sailed back to Britain. We focus on Tommy, a young soldier who has survived a German ambush. He meets another young soldier called Gibson on the beach, who is burying a dead body and says little. They try to make their way onto a ship by acting as stretcher bearers and taking a wounded man aboard a hospital ship. We see these two young men just wanting to survive and each time they meet with some unforeseen event. Dunkirk shows the evacuation from land, sea, and air. Rylance plays a small boat fisherman who along with his son and another young boy are sailing to Dunkirk to pick up survivors. They have already picked one up along the way who is heavily shell shocked. Yet his story is hampered by an appalling side plot of a young man injured and wanting his old school to know that he did something important. As the film has little dialogue, Nolan wants to create atmosphere and suspense through its visuals and music. In that sense it only partly succeeds because the film lacks dramatic impact.

Ellen Page at her finest! Wooden, stiff, and uninteresting.

I absolutely love this show. One of the best action anime shows out there in my opinion. Saitama has a hilarious sense of humor and I find myself laughing at the way he reacts to enemy threats, no matter how many times I've seen the episode. Even with subtitles, I'm still totally engaged in the show, and tense during fighting scenes. I hope this series lasts many years!

**** = A masterpiece to be recorded in the books and never forgotten ***1/2 = A classic in time; simply a must see *** = A solid, worth-while, very entertaining piece **1/2 = A good movie, but there are some uneven elements or noticeable flaws ** = May still be considered good in areas, but this work has either serious issues or is restrained by inevitable elements deemed inescapable (e.g., genre) *1/2 = Mostly a heap of nothing sparked by mildly worthwhile moments BOMB = Not of a viewable quality The Coen Brothers put on the best show they are capable of (and are still known for) right here, in "FARGO." The story is simple and elegant, while the script is equally plain and appealing. The casting director really scored big with this one; all roles are perfect and acted out with amazing precision, especially McDormand, but then again, who didn't know that? Oh, but that's not all. The direction is compact and clean-cut, and the dark tale of a kid-napping gone wrong is oddly mixed with humor and satire, and it even makes fun of northerners accents! It works! The Burwell score is one of the most enlightening and spine-tingling of the 90s. The Roger Deakins cinematography is again, very simple but masterful. Even the run-time of the movie fits in to the other factors; the length is enjoyably short and easy to handle. You might as well buy this movie without seeing it first; you'll love it!

Impressive cinematography and some great set pieces, but ultimately doesn't amount to much at all.

Awesome portrait of the events happened in surgical strike. Goosebumps.. superb movie.

I had the misfortune of choosing to squander both time and money on seeing this turgid, overblown, and overrated mess at the cinemas upon its release. Now, I don't mind some of Christopher Nolan's movies. The first I ever saw was 'Memento' shortly after its home release on DVD. I recalling really enjoying and liking that movie. I haven't seen it in a while, so it's probably due another viewing. I think his oeuvre is pretty good, but nowhere near as good as his fan base would have you believe. He has some good films ('Memento', 'Insomnia', 'Batman/Dark Knight Trilogy' - haven't seen 'Dunkirk' so cannot yet comment), some okay films ('The Prestige', 'Interstellar' - sorry, I just can't get on board for that so called space 'epic' - it has moments of greatness, but plenty of drek too), and then there's 'Inception' - which is in a league of its own; one so far down, one has yet to be invented for it. Anyway, it really is just a total mess. Yeah, I know, it's a movie about dreams. And some wise-guy will probably be thinking or saying, "But, that's exactly what dreams are like; they're messy!". So yeah, maybe Nolan was clever enough to have the entire premise of the movie excuse how convoluted and nonsensical the entire plot is, because you know, that's how dreams work, stupid! Except, if wanted this sort of messy entertainment free of charge (and with some actual mental benefits) then I'd have just taken a nap instead of going to watch 'Inception'. Now, I won't spoil the movie here, because to be frank, Nolan did a pretty good job of that all on his own. Obviously he thought he could pass off a load of claptrap as genius (lapped up without much resistance by his fan base and other easily satisfied punters) because of aforementioned dream-state premise of the story. But there are other issues here as well. Like, a total absence of character development, decent script, or even passable action sequences, or pacing. There was one critic at the time of its cinematic release, whose name I don't recall, but who perfectly encapsulated 'Inception' in a nutshell, by penning something along the lines of, "Inception may be directed by Christopher Nolan; but it would appear that Nolan's dreams are directed by Michael Bay". Oooommph!!! There's a metaphor to describe that very telling remark, but all I remember is it has something to with hitting the head of a nail. Watch 'Inception' at your peril, but preferably with concrete spectacles and ear plugs.

Has a good moral but not a good movie to watch. The movie starts of good and seems interesting but eventually it becomes worse as the movie goes on. Surely not a feel good but kind of a family crime drama.

Amazing story, amazing series and actors but the lead Lily is the worst. U can feel her acting thru-out it all. Hopefully they'll replace her series 2 w/a quality actress for such a gr8 series. Still worth watching.

The first 2 seasons were absolutely incredible works of dark sci-fi/horror fiction. The third season literally threw those characters in with some ridiculous, unexplained character development, Additional characters and plot elements that just muddied the show up and made it a mere shell of what it originally was supposed to be. Season 3 was an absolute bust and the fact that Netflix is allowing this mess to continue for at least one more season is beyond me.
6
It's always a pleasure when a sequel measures up to a great original. It's even better when the original is surpassed. This film had everything you want in a summer blockbuster (which it definitely will be). There was a lot of CGI which bothered me a little, but you couldn't possibly get the movements and the action to look that good without jeopardizing the safety of your actors or stunt people. The film is exciting, funny, emotional and has some nail-biting moments that make you say Oh...s**t! I know as I did when I saw the first one for the first time, I'll be buying the DVD on the morning it goes on sale. AWESOME!! AWESOME!! AWESOME!!

Ridiculous so many ppl call this a 10 star masterpiece. These are the same people that think all the last 5 seasons of walking dead are must watch. Yes I played the game and it was beautifully done, but so much of this show didn't remind me of the game, even though they were fairly faithful in following the storyline of the game. Thought the acting was pretty good, but the entire show was very predictable and boring. Also wanted way more action, less weak character development, and a lot less flashing back and forwards. The 2 occasions they skipped ahead in time were the most interesting parts of the show. Too bad because the first twenty minutes of episode one were the most enjoyable and fairly mediocre from there on out.
6
A pathetic sequence of special effects and nothing else. There is no story, no plot, no texture, the acting from the actors is miserably low level. It's only about the series of people nervously rising their hands handling sticks... The most boring movie so far.

Avatar is just okay but not that great with both good and bad points. Why do so many people keep praising this movie so unreservedly? I don't want to watch it again for sure. The storyline is weak. Not that much really happens and there aren't any surprises. There is a little excitement at the end but it just doesn't have the genuine thrill and likable characters of Terminator or the romance and sweep of Titanic. The environmental / anti war message is noble but too rammed down your throat. The dialog lacked humor or wit. The characters are unsympathetic. The blue creatures are mostly ugly and mildly annoying especially Zoe Saldana's high pitched squeals and strange movements. You don't really feel for any of the humans either. The much lauded effects are beautiful at first but after about 20 minutes its just the same thing and the same colors over and over again. Quite monotonous. I watched the 3d version and I had a headache for hours after. Its actually quite hard to see whats going on with the blurry backgrounds. Make sure you see it in a bigger 3d screen because I saw it in a smallish one and that could have made things worse. Casting is alright though Sam Worthington is a bit stony. Sigourney is a welcome presence. In the end it not an Oscar or golden globe worthy movie. Just a nomination will do. Just because Cameron takes a long time over a movie doesn't make it a great one. Of course it is still worth seeing. Just don't expect that much.

The movie is awesome, excellent acting by SRK. SRK once again prove that he is the king of acting. S superb special makeup effects work by Greg Cannom enables Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan to play both a screen superstar and his youthful lookalike fan in this enjoyably twisty thriller. Having won a local talent show for the third year running impersonating his waning idol Aryan Khanna, young Gaurav embarks on a pilgrimage to Mumbai to meet his supposed mentor. But after being turned away from his hero's house, Gaurav's adoration turns to aggression, directed first toward another actor who taunts Aryan in public, and then toward Aryan himself. It's a familiar story, but director Maneesh Sharma achieves a surprisingly effective balance between creepy The King of Comedy psychological intrigue and sub-Bourne/Bond action (a rooftop chase is particularly well orchestrated). The eye-catching location work takes in Delhi, Mumbai, London, and Dubrovnik, buoyed by a pounding score that keeps everything turned up to 11. But there's real subtlety in the central dual role, to which Khan brings a kaleidoscope of conflicting emotions, from the vigor of the young and (comparatively) impoverished, to the world-weariness of the old and wealthy.
10
This has become one of my favourite flop movie of MCU. Worst of the worst. There's nothing. It should be flopped in all way. There's no valid storyline, no plot and no good character.
2
Plot is a bit rubbish and popularity of former movies have been used to get some pulse. Imagination is OK, but should have been supported by coherence. It was not satisfying for me except for the visual effects.

Rating: 3.6/5 stars Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid Raw, passionate, intense, emotional, and inspirational; "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" is quite a competent retelling of Milkha Singh's journey, which just falls short of being a completely rousing epic. Director Rakesh Omprakash Mehra does a fine job of putting us right into the protagonist's shoes and he literally makes us feel the trials, tribulations, metamorphosis, and triumphs of our hero. Now, if the Director only had done away with some unnecessary songs, tightened up the narrative a bit, trimmed some loose ends, and focused a bit more on certain important sporting accomplishments of the sprinter's career; the film could have been so much more memorable. The tone of this sports-drama could have also done with a more stirring background score. Also, Farhan Akhtar's performance while dedicated and nuanced, is not that great like it is being made out. At times his accent does falter and his dialog delivery might make you forget occasionally that he's Milkha and not Farhan. The performances that really stand out in the movie are Yograj Singh's, Divya Dutta'a, Pavan Malhotra's, and surprisingly even Prakash Raj's (Director's please give this talented actor better roles). Alas, we have to make do with a film about one of India's greatest sporting icons, that almost delivers on its promise. Perhaps, the most significant feat of the movie is that we feel like running and celebrating along with Milkha Singh.

Generally, the whole team certainly knows what they're talking about. They even adress and implement stuff that is known from the spider-verse I did really not remember. Here's my two issues with this film though. I was really looking forward to it, mostly hoping for a game-changer in art within the whole franchise. The stop-motion-trick while doing the whole movie may be a bold animation choice, but turns out to make the whole thing clunky and I cannot figure out why they went for a lower framerate than regular animated movies. To me it just feels off and makes it hard to watch. What brings me to the second issue. I happen to feel motion sickness in certain games that appear to have head bobbling and certain light and brightness effects. So far I couldn't figure out the reason but this movie manages to do the same to me. I had to stop watching 1 hour in due to actually feeling sick just watching a damn movie. Lot's of people like it. give it a try. I cannot recommend due to motion sickness issues. A clear no to the lower framerate. It was an artistic choice but I clearly don't see the point except for the saving money part. It is creative, sure, but I cannot watch it...

This movie far exceeded my expectations. It has it's flaws with the length, but the screenplay and the story itself is very impressive. Loved the edge of the seat moments. Easily the best crime thriller I've seen out of an Indian movie.

Written, Co-Produced and Directed by Christopher Nolan. 'Dunkirk' is a magnificent technical achievement, that is a feast for the eyes. Nolan, a master in his craft, sadly fails as a Writer, delivering a War Epic that's ambitious & huge in scale, but also soulless. Its definitely a well-made film, but not in the level of how a Nolan motion-picture generally is. 'Dunkirk' Synopsis: Allied soldiers from Belgium, the British Empire and France are surrounded by the German army and evacuated during a fierce battle in World War II. 'Dunkirk' puts 3 different time-lines together & jumbles them into a king-sized narrative. The film begins with a flourishing impact, showing us how the soldiers are in constant havoc. What follows is how survival is at stake & how the carnage of war can damage those who go at the battlefield to protect their nation. Nolan handsomely mounts a visually staggering war epic, that doesn't have a single frame that lacks ambition or genuine skill. The war depicted here in 'Dunkirk' is intense & hardcore, that's sure to leave you disturbed. BUT, 'Dunkirk' lacks a cohesive Screenplay. Nolan's Screenplay is packed with intensity, but is too busy to make us feel for its heroic characters. Seen from three perspectives, 'Dunkirk' has too many characters, but not for one, do you feel for. And that's indeed disappointing, considering this is a film about War Heroes. Nolan crowds the film with three perspectives, but forgets too give its characters depth. And that's certainly unacceptable from a guy like Nolan. Nolan made Superhero films that were more about the heroes without the capes, and delivered an affecting family-drama while indulging in the Sci-Fi zone last time, but in 'Dunkirk' there is not a single character that you'll remember or even, feel for, despite their heroic courage. Nolan's Writing is a letdown & comes up as a minus. Nolan's Direction is marvelous. He's a master at his craft & the atmosphere he sets in here, is simply terrific. How I wish his Writing was as strong as his Direction. Hans Zimmer's Score is magnificent & turns 'Dunkirk' into a heart-pounding experience. Hoyte van Hoytema's Cinematography is astounding. The lens-man has filmed each & every frame, with flawlessness. Lee Smith's Editing is razor-crisp. Art & Costume Design are fantastic. The Choerography of the War-Sequences, are tremendous. As mentioned earlier, 'Dunkirk' is a remarkable technical achievement. Talking of performances, its only Tom Hardy as Farrier, a Royal Air Force pilot & the Legendary Kenneth Branagh as Commander Bolton, the pier-master during the evacuation, who stand out. On the whole, 'Dunkirk' is certainly a well-made film with plus points, but the lack of depth in its characters, are hard to ignore. Its a crushing disappointment.

Do watch this! It is a the more real superhero TV show. Also, this a series where the concept is more like Watchmen where it is a "what if" scenario for superheroes being real.

I'm an American who loves British humor, but this show didn't once bring as much as a smile to my face. I may watch another episode to see if it gets better.

This film is the story from avenger age of Ultron because after that scene almost hero that fight to the monster and effect to the building which cause to the people in the city become died. The president of the USA call the congress to talk about that issue and define the new lawsuit to protect their country. It control the power of marvel superhero this make Steve Roger angry because his friend will become illegal. But this law was written by Tony Stark who is the opposite team. In this film it separate into 2 group of hero which the first team has Captain America as a leader. The other team has Ironman. In my will i think this film tell us about the love and equality between friend and some argument that cause to the relationship of the family when it has a benefit it can broke the friendship but when you have a harmonium in your group it will help your relation and the lass I think the charm of MCU movie is the plot that is difficult to predict and it has so many surprises from the director. In the part of the actor Robert Downy Jr and Chris Evan was smart and powerful. Finally if you never watch the marvel comics universe film you should watch it ! It's very cool so i give it 10 star.

I wonder why this movie got 7.2 on IMDB. For me, it's 1/10. I felt something wrong at the beginning of Episode 1. Stupid conversation between characters. Kids strangely smart like chemical doctor and surgery doctor. The marine husband just repeat "How do you know?".

Well, that was an experience! I've just seen 'Dunkirk' the film. Hard to be rational about it after all the hype and expectation but I can honestly say that it is one of the worst films I have ever seen. A film with no meaningful story-line or content but plenty of bombast. And noise. Oh, the noise, the noise! It was loud, excruciatingly loud, unnaturally and unnecessarily so, far beyond the pain barrier for my ears. Which I had to cover for much of it as I found it so physically painful. Why so loud? I came out of it reeling and shell-shocked. And as for the 70mm IMAX giant screen experience, what nonsense. I get sharper and better quality pictures on my home TV. It was just very much bigger. The actors wee Mark Rylance and wee Kenneth Branagh were cruising, not having to act at all, just look heroic, misty-eyed and lantern-jawed from time to time, and think of the money. And given given the budget it was disappointing to keep seeing the same three Spitfires, one German Me109 and a single Heinkel He111 in the same shots over and over again. And as for that near-end shot of a burning Spitfire on Dunkirk beach set to Elgar's jingoistic music, that said it all.

If it wasn't for all the amazing and thorough work in developing the set and props it would be just another meh netflix series. They even mimic various commercial products like coke, burger king, etc.. so that it looks like it's set in the 80's

I found this film so highly disappointing. When i saw the first Iron Man i was blown away by it. It was epic, action packed adventure. Which included an excellent easy to follow script and great entertaining story. One of the best super hero movies of all time!!!!!!!!!! But this movie SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!

The only reason for this thing to exist is so more spin-offs about a possessed object that appears here for two minutes can exist. I can picture it, two years from now we will have "The Haunted Samurai Armor" and "The Man with Coin-Eyes" and "The Wolf made of Gas" and "The Haunted Board Game"...i'm not even joking. At least the little girl does a decent job and surprisingly there were very few jumpscares. Better than La Cucaracha for sure.

If only it didn't contain Craig in the most overacted role and pathetic attempt at an American accent. Other than that, an interesting storyline

Excellent acting from all involved, a very fun film, Craig and De Armas were fantastic. A thriller whodunit with plenty of comedy and drama. An entertaining watch!

Loki is one of those projects in which Marvel has shown pure love and dedication into creating a cinematic masterpiece. This series definitely sits among the top Marvel movies and series, such as the original iron man movie. The series may seem slightly dragging, where they may intentionally make the series slower for more episodes. But, it is definitely something you must watch once in your lifetime. Loki is one of the Marvel projects that is single handedly holding the company, in contrast to its recent films and projects. Overall, Loki is a gripping masterpiece with a wonderful cast, and definitely a watch even for non-marvel fans.

The first 2 episodes are just a boring 50s "comedy" with a laugh track. At this point all we can do is hope something better to come soon.
7
For those who do like the racial content, research the comic book stories and maybe you won't mind as much. This show does a deep dive into the characters and it is well written and acted. It does not only focus on racial issues, but PTSD, military life, politics, family burdens, redemption, restitution, etc. This show would have missed an opportunity to have depth if it was all action and fights with no story. I do find it a bit predictable but still embedded with surprises. What really makes me laugh is how first folks/reviewers who rate this low (1-3) for the being boring and predictable and forced will has watched all 6 episodes including the finale. If a show is that bad why give it 6 hours of your life. I hope to see more of this show and more of this Duo.

The characters in "Fargo" are unforgettable. These characters are quirky, but you can strangely relate to them, which adds depth to the story. "Fargo" is like a perfect blend of dark comedy and thriller. It mixes humor and suspense effortlessly, crafting a weird and sometimes absurd vibe. "Fargo" displays the signature style of the Coen brothers. It's packed with their trademark sharp dialogue, eccentric characters, and a meticulous eye for detail. The film's Midwestern backdrop almost becomes a character in its own right, adding a special charm. Cinematography is also worth-mentioned. They masterfully captures the eerie beauty of the snowy landscapes, creating a striking visual counterpoint to the violence and darkness in the story.

Given that I've been in Iraq throughout the depicted period I can say this is what I think went wrong: 1.US Military Convoys are dispatched in 3 HUMVEES AT ALL TIMES. 2.Military Bases are absolutely ALCOHOL FREE ZONE. Any violators will be prosecuted if not discharged. 3.No Unauthorized civilians or Kids are allowed near the Camps. And badges are to be worn at all times within. 4.In the case of the Sniper incident, the standard course of action would be having aerial support within a short period of time. 5. It is not at all easy to leave the base at will. Any violators could also face prosecution and even discharged. Other than that; it was a decent job with simulating the outer environment, and all in all it's worth the time. The slang used was close enough too
5
I have to be honest, my low rating is because I read the book before I saw the movie. The book captivated me and I could not put it down. The movie really disappointed me because I read the book first. They did not follow the book at all really and that ruined my experience. I think I would have enjoyed the movie a whole lot more if I saw it before I read the book.

Considering how much storylines have evolved for women and girls (see Warrior Nun or Wheel of Time), season 1 feels like a step backwards. I signed into this for the first time to leave a comment bc I felt that my time was wasted. The protagonist is an exceptional university professor and then in minutes is infantilized as a lovesick teen. Embarrassing. Some of the comments here are jumping on the actress, but she's not the decision-maker on eyerolling lines or on directing the character to be child-like. The character that seemed to be getting interesting development is Satu, who marches to the beat of her own drum and has complexity. Some cast members are excellent or do the best with what they are given. Scenery nice. But not enough to pull me into anymore seasons.

I'm amazed at the racist and sexist comments who are criticizing the show for its interracial family and strong female roles. So many comments wanting the show to be more like the original from the 60's where the cast was all white and Maureen walked around with a laundry basket while Penny played dress up with her alien monkey (don't believe me? Watch the pilot on Hulu.) The campiness of the original would not play well today. I loved the original as a kid but going back to watch it now is unbearable. This revisioning of the show reimagines the characters you loved in new ways. If you are in the camp of Battlestar Galactica fans who couldn't watch the remake because Starbuck was a woman, steer clear. If you want a bit of nostalgia that has been updated to play to a 2018 audience, you'll enjoy.

Another Tim Story film! I loved all the hate scenes (misogynistic and homophobic) and the wonderful long exposition scenes because i'm that dumb!

Dark comedy with a great lesson for all adults and parenta out there.

The acting is brilliant. Jim Carrey is probably making the best job of his life and so is perhaps also Kate Winslet (and she has never ever been bad). Although this going down into people's minds is not to be believed and worse, it doesn't entertain. The script is a little too clever and sincerely nor the cast, nor even the author might be totally sure of what it's all about in every detail. Anyway, the "common" people here are interesting, living their rather normal life. This is an interesting failure, saved by intelligent dialogue and once again, very intelligent acting.

The first Godfather movie was stunning. This one is simply breathtakingly good. Drawing parallels between the initial growth of the Corleone empire under young Vito for relatively noble reasons, and the greed and corruption that brings the family close to self-destruction under Michael, the film takes everything that was great about the first movie and builds upon it. A rare example of a sequel that is actually better than the original.

It seems mission impossible movies get worse with the time. And it already started out as a weak james bond clone. This movie is like a big ego trip for Tom Cruise, Ethan Hunt is now a superhero that can do anything and not get hurt, you get to see Tom Cruise parade around showing off he still is oh my god awesome. Also very predictable and boring, I was so bored I stopped watching near the end, dont even cared about the ending. I watched Jean Claude Van Damme's Wake of death after, now that movie was awesome, for a fraction of the budget of mission impossible.
2
Let's be honest, the first Anabelle stunk, the second improved, and this one was good. First, we need MORE Lloraine and Ed Warren. Look at the success of the first Conjuring -- let's do more of that! The little girl sold her role. The movie doesn't rely solely on jump scares. Good story. 7/10

Someone made the comment that this movie must have been hyped to death for it to be rated so highly, that people must have been brainwashed. I have to relate my own experience. I saw this movie in March of 1996, when it was only in limited release, and there certainly had not yet been any hype, because so few people had seen it. I had gotten a gut feeling from seeing the previews that it was going to be good, mostly from the people involved and the fact that so little was given away in the trailers, which is so rare these days. I drove 50 miles to see this movie on one of the few screens showing it in the country. The theater was full, and it was obvious the vast majority was enjoying it immensely, as did I. So, sorry, the "Brainwashed" theory just doesn't apply here. That only works with movies like "Star Wars: Episode I". "Fargo" was as far from the world of hype as Minnesota is from Naboo. "Fargo"- 10 out of 10, and that's MY opinion.
10
This series had so much potential but the terrible on-the-nose dialogue and the boring uninspired cinematography really made this a unbearable to watch. Each scene drags on for way to long and the pacing of the episodes is ruined by unnecessary scenes. I really wanted this to be good because I love both the Withcer books and the games :( Do yourself a favor and pass on this.

A good action film but it disappoints in a big way. So what's there in this that's better than the other Chris Nolan films, is style and the magnanimous production design where now, we have exceptional aerial shots and many of them hovering over the fictional city of Gotham. But what's missing is the soul of Nolan, the screenplay. The music by Hans Zimmers is OK OK and more melodramatic than action packed. The editing is too very bad coz too many details that lead to nothing are presented in this 2 hours 25 minute saga that could have been done in 2 hours, only if the extra characters of the board members and others were cut down and those many aerial shots were cut down too. The dialogues are way too bland for Bane (Tom Hardy). Bane is not anywhere close to be menacing but at the end he turns out to be doing, what Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard) says. No, great villain either. And coming to our batman, he fails in a fight and he has to redeem his freedom, he takes an ordeal of doing a climb that takes more than 10 minutes of screen space. Was so much necessary is what I ask now. Also, there are identities revealed only at the end like that of Robin or Talia, ah too much suspense being held till the end is not a good thing, we don't need oil when the food has been cooked up. The saddest part turns out that Alfred who has protected Wayne for such a long time, cries for he has failed Bruce Wayne. The much sad part is Bruce Wayne has to now live in exile as he is presumably dead just to be shown in a frame to reveal that Batman cannot end. OK, yes so he used autopilot too but that's so impertinent at the end coz we would have been exhausted by dialogue after dialogue for a large part of the film which take away the sheen. The dialogue I must say, is very clichéd and even amateurish from a man who has written Dark Knight and Inception. Now, remember this is a sequel for Dark Knight so we do expect a big ride, so nothing like that anywhere, this is rather a slow paced dramatic and less action packed turmoil that takes us through the torture of being a superhero. The blessing in disguise, although is Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) oh, she comes up with some good acting skills and is in fact our hero, coz she killed the villain. Yeah, we know that 'he who kills a villain is hero'. So, it has got good things but they are far away from each other. It's an okie dokie kinda ride and a 2/5 would be apt as per me. But if you have high expectations coz it's NOLAN you are a welcome aboard member to a disappointment group.

It starts off somewhat light-hearted. It then shows how people act inauthentically to fulfill certain role expectations, and to manipulate people in order to be accepted (and paid). It explores the hypocrisy of prejudice and how people slip into an 'us and them' mentality. It alludes to how people feed off each other. It had potential to then provide some sort of moral undertones - to provide some sort of remedy; perhaps through the characters having realisations that lead them to make positive changes. Perhaps even leading them to humility, redemption or reconciliation. But it pretty much just veers off into a horror movie. It tries to be clever with allusions and metaphors about unconscious and repressed psychological forces. And perhaps there is some allegory for the North/South Korea divide in there as well. But the story becomes so over the top in its efforts to disturb, that it loses credibility. If you want to wallow in pseudo-intellectual generalisations about socio-economic class conflict and long outmoded Freudian theories of psychological neuroses, then this might be a movie for you. Verdict: Dark. Bleak. Pessimistic. Wasted Opportunity. 3/10.

Maybe they should concentrate on making them more like the comic (Marvel) instead of going so far off some might say the only thing that resembles the comic is the title, i agree with "srawbrats" if you really want to see a "Black superhero" movie then "Blade trilogy" is by far a lot better than this title. Maybe hollywood should stick to movies instead of politics !

I followed the high rates for watching this series but i was disappointed.. I can summarize my experience as follow : 1- Plot could have made better , it attracted me at the beginning then started to become more and more boring. 2- The protagonists didn't deliver a unique character that will let you get attracted to them , especially the inspector in which i found him dull and dumb in many occasions. 3- The distribution of scenes (flashbacks and the investigations) is not organized well and didn't attract attention. 4- The supporting characters are boring. 5- Gunfire is so shallow and no interesting fight scenes which i was expecting .

In this people majority of people dont have kindness love .But in this movie the charlie change the person perspective towards life .This is an inspirational story to all of us .For steping out from the world of hatred selfness and make friends to anyone human or animal because who knows someday you are in trouble no one help .In this we make a world a better place.

The film is an excellent one,everyone should watch it,Shah Rukh Khan should not be compared with anyone in acting,he is the best,will be always,even if there's no story,SRK accomplishes by his acting.Well in this case,you will get a decent story.The entire Idea of Fan was unique.The story is magnificent.Even in some scenes tears will appear in anyone's eyes.Go for it.You will find your golden SRK back.You will get the every single buck back after by watching the movie.Gaurav's character,especially the acting of SRK as Gaurav is outstanding,he was in his real mood in the character Aryan Khanna,it also tells a little bit about SRK's struggle for reaching the film industry.To conclude,go for it,you are gonna review at least 9

I'm only vaguely aware of the series, having played half an hour of Witcher 3 many years ago, and have not read the books. Overall I quite liked the show. I did find it a bit jarring, however, when I found myself thinking the setup was done, and now the show would really start... Then found out that was the last episode. I'm treating this season like a pretty good pilot episode for the rest of the story, to be told in later seasons.

The best soccer game movie ever watched. The story has humor emotion and passion for the sports. It has strong message to society. Sports can change the life of any person. People can give up and adopt any habits if they are passionate . Movie worth watching. Its an inspirational movie and football lover must watch. India has the talented football player one must find the right set of talented players. Best Acting by Amithab sir and other team member. The babu character is funny and Don was fascinating. Thanks to Manjule for such movies that have an impact on the society. At least people who want to change can change their life.
10
Wondering how did it get the 9 rating. Over the period, expect it to come down to 6 or 7. The show is disappointing, especially as it comes from TVF. Most of the scenes should have been cut or edited. It gets painfully slow and boring. Survived the first episode somehow in the hope it might turn out better subsequently. Finally gave up in the middle of 2nd episode and decided not to waste any more time. Perhaps should be edited a bit-that would improve it a bit but not sure it would change anything so much that you would be happy to put in your precious hours.

I just can't describe how well Tom hardy played . Literally didn't spot one mistake from him. But the story was meh. It wasn't as good as thew first one.
5
This show is one of the cleverest comedies out there- it has episodes that are just so unique, you wonder how anybody could have possible dreamed of the storyline. It's unlike any comedy out there, and I mean that as a compliment. However, after season 3 it really does start to fall apart. It's still worth watching, but just be aware of that before you get into it so you don't wind up disappointed.

Nice creation by Nagraj Sir, Everyone must watch movie. Suppppppppperbbbb. Wonderful. May be nominate for Oscar Award from India. Please go to Theatre and watch marathi talent.

I never liked and never fancied sequels. I simply hate the whole concept of a continuation story - if it was the whole and complete body of work why would it need any additions? I always said, unless the sequel is bigger, better and brings something new and fresh it can be considered as such. There are not many thoroughly well done second parts, you can literally count them all down with fingers of one person's hands, and one of those is naturally "The Godfather Part II". As with the first movie the second follows two people - Vito, from his youth years to his greatest successes, and Michael, continuing his story of self-exploration, vengeances, trials, tribulations and family matters. What I disliked though that there was way more time devoted to Michael instead of dividing their screen time with Vito equally because I felt that his story was more interesting and intriguing than that of Michael's. Vito was the man who built himself from scratch and surrounded himself with love and adoration from almost everybody who knew him well whereas Michael took over whatever was left from that adoration and love but perverted it and unknowingly for himself turned it into almost unanimous hate. The picture shows this contrast between the rise of Vito and personal demise of Michael very clearly with the help of its amazing cinematography. Part II has won six Oscars, winning yet again the Best Picture, giving the much deserved statuette to Francis Ford Coppola for his remarkable direction and to Robert DeNiro for his phenomenal portrayal of Vito - he certainly based his version of him on Marlon Brando's but gave him his own vibe and touch which made this character so extraordinary. I would also like to point out Diane Keaton and John Cazale whose both characters have gotten more screen time in the sequel to fully blossom and shine and they did the job splendidly. Al Pacino was somewhat stale in his performance, and so was the whole story in general, in my opinion, but by the end of it his Michael has grown into a more vivid person than ever which makes "The Godfather Part II" so great as a standalone movie and a near perfection as a sequel.

I put off watching this Cartoon for many, many years. As a child I'd see Avatar playing and I'd skip it, watching something else. Do I really regret that now. Avatar is a cartoon that has stories that teach life lessons in a fun and captivating way, the stories themselves are told in such an eloquent way that it's enough to inspire the mind of a child but to also make an adult reflect and think. That's the beauty about Avatar, the writing is perfect! The show has its filler episodes as do most cartoons, but the main episodes that push the plot forward are really done well, you can see the effort in the animation. All in all, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a wonderful cartoon for both children and adults.

Just another CGI laden mess of a Chidren's Action Movie. I don't reallly care for these Superhero Movies as they depend on action CGI rather then a plot. I did notice that other reviewers are calling this a "cultural event".."most significant movie ever made"..."the greatest movie ever"...REALLY? First, this is a fantasy film. Wakanda is a fictional place...it does not exist. There were never any Space Kings or Space Queens...this is not the first Black Superhero Movie...and definitely not the best. Previous Black Superheroes..include Storm from the X-men...Blade (really good movie)..and what about Michonne from the Walking Dead? Any girl that weighs less then 100 pounds and can swing a Katana like it was a feather must have superhero powers. I would only recommend this for children and if they were bored and had nothing else to do.
2
I have to say, I honestly thought this movie was going to be a mess. After the Half-Blood Prince, I didn't expect ANTHING from this movie, the adaptation from the 6th book to the screen has to be worst one I've ever seen in my entire life, I was truly disappointed, as I haven't been a fan of HP movies since probably the 2nd one. But I truly have to say that this movie blew my mind. Every essential, detailed part of the book is seen on the film, and it's perfectly introduced for the second part of it. I had honestly forgot how it felt like to compare things I've read from HP to what I was seeing on the screen, but I did this through the entire film. The movie is dark, which is contrasted by funny moments, is deep,is truly a flawless adaptation from the book and I couldn't be more pleased about it. I will recommend this movie to all HP fans and also to the people who haven't read the books because it is a great movie, and the actors are perfectly chosen and do an amazing job.

I wasn't planning on watching but decided to give it a shot. First episode wasn't near on par with episode 1 of GoT. The characters were fairly boring. It may get better and I hope it does.

Definitely not understanding why this movie was over hyped. What age demographic is this movie for exactly? It's not a movie for little kids. Maybe pre teen girls? And I can't understand how they wouldn't be bored with this film. It's music every couple of mins and everything is way over the top. Actors were great but the script isn't entertaining at all. Honestly the trailer was more fun than the movie. My kids were bored and wanted to leave before the end. But after we made it through the first half of the movie, we might as well suck it up until the end. All in all, an amazing cast and set, but it falls short in actually entertaining the audience.
4
Honestly sometimes I think I am not on the same planet as other viewers: did we actually see the same movie? This movie was so confusing, repetitive and downright boring that I am stunned by reviewers that call it the best thing since sliced bread. To me it was a mish mosh of crazy events with the same characters cropping up as different beings - the whole thing happening in three parts -- I knew this because each part was written on the screen, oh thanks for that. I can see ex-acid heads and druggies loving it, finding it mind-blowing, literally, but for me, no, this movie was pretentious and pseudo artsy and basically like I already said, boring and repetitive. How it won so many academy awards is beyond me.
2
The movie had something greater than excepted. It was more like sacred games but it was better than that it's plot and screenplay had a great essence. Aditya Roy did a great job . Rohit saraf was great he did better than any other show of his on Netflix. Best original movie.

Death Note (2006-7) is a 37 episode series I recently watched with my daughter on Hulu. The storyline focuses on a young man who discovers a book that upon touching unveils a Yugami that only he can see. The Yugami is a demon like creature that instructs him on the rules now that he has opened the book, one of which is every name written in the book leads to the person's death. A task force is identified to track down the young man when they start seeing patterns in his killings. A series of cat and mouse ensues between the young man and law enforcement. My daughter and I loved this series. The dialogue is great and the characters are both entertaining and frustrating. I couldn't help but think that the Netflix series Money Heist must have stole a lot of ideas from this series. There are a lot of clever aspects to this storyline and unpredictable moments. I also loved the animation style. Overall, this is an entertaining series that is entertaining for both adults and teenagers. I strongly recommend watching this and would score it a 9/10.

I remember the days I watched this film twice. I watched it with my mother once then I watched it again this time with my sister at the Director's Club. I had a nice experience watching the Phase One Marvel films from the original Iron Man until The Avengers because Phase One marks the beginning of this incredible Cinematic Universe Marvel has made. I did enjoy the first Captain America movie but this sequel takes it to a whole new level in terms of style, execution and storytelling which by the way is full of surprises that has never been done in a Marvel movie. To my surprise I like this film even better than the first film because ever since Iron Man 3 Marvel is brave enough when making their movies, they seriously showed proof when this film was made and makes you feel excited about the next Phase Two Marvel films. First of the action is intense and well choreographed. Everything in the movie is superbly suspenseful and very intense all the action scenes are well done combined with outstanding realistic practical effects and less CGI. Second of all the story is well paced and amazing. When the Winter Soldier appears on screen for the first time it was so shocking and intense how he was introduced. Last but not least the overall execution is amazing because this film is not only a Superhero film, but it also acts as a Conspiracy Thriller in the vein of Three Days At The Condor and The Parallax View along with The Dark Knight since both movies deal with similar themes and just imagine this movie being directed and written by Christopher Nolan and you get the idea of this film and the performances of the casts is really cool and amazing at the exact same time. If I would rate this film I would give it a complete 10 out of 10.

Did everyone else see a different movie? The best thing this guy could do is get away from this trashy crude jerk of a woman. Move on. Guess he needed a sticker to remind him to stay away after his memory was erased? If the point was, if you forget the truly hideous things about people you can make the same mistake again, okay... But as a great film? I think not! This is the type of fluff that isn't even worth the dollar show, and I feel for you if you actually bring this home from the rental store. The reason for this romance is up there with the romance in Star Wars Episode II. People like Clementine should come with warning labels. It might be different if there was something actually compelling about Clementines character, but there isn't. All I can see is a poor fool making the same mistake twice, and that isn't quality entertainment.

I left wishing that someone could obliviate me so that I could forget how bad this movie was. No problem. I was fortunate to forget about it by supper. What a bloated, blighted nothing of a movie! Truly one of the worst I've seen this year. I have it 2 stars only because the special effects were somewhat cool. And...if anyone wants to tell me what this mishmash was about, please don't bother, cause there weren't enough redeeming moments in this film worthy of memory.

The movie really isn't that great, and it was quite predictable, but it was just stupid enough to be amusing. As someone who loves Just Go With It, I'm a sucker for the comedy combo of Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. The way they work so well together is enough to distract you from the fact that the plot itself feels like a knock-off of Clue mixed with an Agatha Christie story. Plus, this is definitely the best movie Adam Sandler has been in for a very long time. I was incredibly grateful to see Adam Sandler in a role in which he's not using humour based around bodily functions. Most of the characters feel uninteresting here, but it's worth your time if you're bored and looking for a time-waster that might give you a couple of laughs.

A guy got lot of abusals in school and mentally got abused and became serial killer... Whole movie scriped well and can't predict the climax.. All are acted soo well.. One of the best tamil serial killer movie..!

Argo didn't have a good script that didn't be accurate for the convincing historical events ,but it's exaggerating the events to make a powerful picture for America. Also there are some of dialogues are not clear or understood . The Best factor of film is the performance of Ben Affleck only.

I am not a fan of commercial Hindi cinema. Having said that, I have to say that really liked Dil Se. Mani Rathnam tries to deviate from the norm and try to attempt a story that at once captivates and disturbs. Understated nuanced acting, not valued by most Indian actors, is the norm in this movie. The images are haunting, the sensibilities are delicate and the scenery breathtaking. If you plan to see only one Hindi film that you plan to see, this should be it. Having said that, Rathnam fails in his attempt to placate the average moviegoer of India by stuffing the movie with 5 (beautifully choreographed and well-recorded) songs that jarres the narrative. Also at least at one occation (immediately after Amarkanth Varma witnesses Meghna's outbreak right before the storm) the editing is crude and sticks like an afterthought. Manisha Koirala could well be the successor to Shabana Azmi if she chooses her roles well. Shahrukh khan is refreshing in this departure from his regular song and dance routine.

After I felt somewhat underwhelmed by the two post-Avengers movies (more so from Iron Man 3 than Thor: The Dark World), Captain America: The Winter Soldier served as the movie that made me love Marvel all over again. This movie features several plots woven into a gratuitous scenario which will please even the pickiest of Marvel fans, such as myself; literally, the only reason I extracted half a star is that I didn't get to see the Winter Soldier as much as I wanted. Do not let the title fool you, this movie is way more than the former Soviet Union's greatest assassin. Questioning the political, and human, right of the privacy of people's personal identities, and the reasons behind the surveillance we live through under a government's watchful eye, we start to wonder who are the heroes and who the enemies. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), a man who has still not acclimatised to the gray areas this world has delved into, be it the right to punish people before they even act on a crime or to question the orders someone receives from above, is caught into a chaotic war between foes from his past and newfound evil from this time. He does so with the help of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and new member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sam Wilson aka The Falcon (Anthony Mackey). But when the Captain is faced with the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), he will be forced to choose between saving the world, or sacrificing himself to, as Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford) said in the movie, to built a better world on the wreckage of the old one. One thing that blew me away in the movie were the fighting scenes. Superb choreography, not the one that will get you dizzy with fast paced cameras, but the one that holds you on the edge of your seat. Lacking the excessive use of CGI upon the request of the directors, you'll marvel at the simplest throw of the Captain's shield, when it crashes straight upon its target seemingly with ease. Every actor delivered, and more so Anthony Mackey, who beautifully balances humour and seriousness, and stars in some really nice shots of him flying through the air as he tries to disengage a whole aircraft on his own whilst avoiding shots from every side. Yeah, he is really badass. I also loved Sebastian Stan, even though I think we could have seen more of him and his backstory. He does not talk much, but when he does, his emotion-filled expressions make you actually sympathise with his predicament. Especially, the last fighting scene he shares with Captain America is exceptionally played, filled to the brim with flowing emotion and the struggle both characters feel when faced with each other. I don't know if Joss Whedon wrote any of the script, but you can feel his influence on it, especially when not one, but three women (plus one from the past) manage to hold their own to the story, and help the plot move on evenly. Not to mention that they actually save Captain America a couple of times. I loved the music, as well. The score is action packed itself, with wonderful eerie pieces here and there, which fit perfectly to the tone of The Winter Soldier and the darker parts of the movie. Make no mistake, it may be rated PG-13, but I felt it was much more adult themed than the rating suggests. All in all, a strong, beautifully written, excellently directed sequel, and a scrumptious add to Marvel's growing list of superhero blockbusters. It does what the two previous movies didn't do (weave with the Avengers), and basically gives you what Captain America: The First Avenger did not. This one's a film I will certainly watch again, and again.

Just finished watching "Bhag Milkha Bhag", the touching story Indian athlete Milkha Singh who had started running for the first time just for the sake of saving his life during Hindu Muslim riot and later on running became his road to fame and success. Farhan Akhter,does an excellent job of portraying the seasoned athlete in a convincing manner. The movie is intriguing enough to keep one glued to the screen ,the human emotions have been portrayed very exquisitely .It creates a spur of indomitable spirit ,a sense of self confidence that despite all odds we can surely succeed if we have a dream and we have faith in that dream .A must watch for everybody

Civil War is not only an excellent follow-up to the Winter Soldier, it is a far better Avengers film than Age of Ultron. This film adds the stakes Marvel has been struggling with, and it does it with a nuanced but compelling villain. It adds fantastic characters like Black Panther. It takes Tony Stark and Steve Rogers' characters to new heights by bringing them to new lows. It manages to utilize dozens of characters and still does them all justice. It brings up interesting moral dilemmas and political questions. The action is also fantastic in this movie with several cinematic fight scenes being better than in the previous Avengers, but also close-quarters duels that sport excellent choreography and weight in the emotions behind them. This is a near flawless film and perhaps the best film Marvel has released. After seeing Endgame, I must say Civil War's consequences still feel relevant and it remains one of my personal favorite superhero films.
