An interesting film, to keep the harry potter's magical world on but it lacks a story and there's no magic. After seeing it, I felt dissapointed, I was expecting a story that makes sense and the real problem in that franchise is, if you haven't seen any harry potter films, you're doomed... It's a shame even though some scenes were pleasant to see.
I expect more for the 2nd. | 6 |
The really amazing thing about this movie is that only 1% of the people rate it 4 or lower. Clearly this can only mean that 99% of the viewers just don't care about plots or science or much of anything so long as some kind of emotional drama is brewing with ever louder and more melodramatic music. I'm sorry, but I just can't enjoy a movie that is just a massive confabulation of deus ex machina at every turn without any regard to internal consistency. I like fake science and the occult as much as the next guy, but not when they are completely unlimited. There is only so much disbelief in the world that can be suspended. Just a disconnected train wreck of a movie. Now mind you, I am still giving it 4 out of 10 -- it is not as catastrophic a failure as, say, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. If you just blank out and go with it, there are some redeeming qualities. TORS was cute and it would have been nice if it had some shred of humor or personality, but it never materialized. Overall an unpleasant experience I will no doubt soon forget. | 4 |
This show is nowhere near as good as GOT. I think diehard GOT fans are in denial and trying to wish this show to be great. I remember watching Game of Thrones the first episode and immediately I was hooked. The cast and the story were fantastic. I hate the casting in this new version and episode six was sort of the last straw for me. It was dead boring. I am disappointed in this and other spinoff shows this year like Rings of Power. I am hoping Avatar 2 doesn't fail as bad to recapture the old magic these new streaming shows have failed. I have a feeling these channels like HBO and Amazon will think twice before investing so much into sequels. | 4 |
I have been watching Hollywood movies for a while now. I have developed this interesting sense that tells me whether a movie is watchable or not, right after the first 10 or 15 minutes. When I started to watch this movie, I immediately knew this was going to be a big bore. However, I kept hope that it may turn interesting (knowing that Morgan Freeman was there). After 23 minutes of watching, my patience ran out. So I simply fast forwarded it. Gladly, I found that the movie is bull$h!t. But I was still intrigued. I might have missed a great movie. So I went to wikipedia, searched it and read the plot. Sigh of relief came as the plot also turned out the same crap I expected. So my dear reader! DON'T watch it if you have the slightest regard for your time. It is so boring it should be renamed to "$h!t Baby $h!t". | 3 |
This is a anime style cartoon that kids and adults will enjoy watching. It really is one of the best cartoon show I seen in a while, there is little to almost no flaw to this show. I really wished it was longer though, instead of just 3 seasons. It really is a memorable adventure, which has many elements that will keep your attention from beginning to end. Plus just about every characters in this show is memorable and not just the main characters either, and for a bunch of cartoon characters I actually cared about what happens to them. One of the best animated series I seen, and I highly recommend anyone that enjoys a good story in a cartoon to watch this amazing show.
9.3/10 | 10 |
Worse Acting. Nothing comparable to GOT. Might improve with more episodes. Script is horrible. Only thing that resembles from GOT are the pornography scenes. | 2 |
Some of Hemworths best acting and some great action! | 7 |
Ready Player One is a decent book. It has some flaws, but overall it works as an '80's nostalgia trip and a good read. Ready Player One is a bad movie in terms of being a movie, an atrocious adaptation, and fails even as a vehicle for '80's nostalgia. There are more easter eggs, shout outs, and throwbacks for people born in recent years than there are for people who grew up in the 1980s. The plot is as formulaic as anything ever produced by Hollywood. It is distinctly and safely structured to be everything the audience has ever seen before, to the point that the end result is dull. A good adaptation will keep what works and fix what doesn't. This movie changes everything regardless of its functionality, and the result has so many gaping plot chasms and is so devoid of charm it's a wonder if Steven Spielberg and company wanted to make this adaptation at all or if they were being forced to fulfill a contract they signed in years past. After having seen this on the big screen, I wish I had waited for it to come to Netflix. It's not even something I would want to own and have on my movie shelves, while I could have the book on my book shelf and be okay with that. | 6 |
Wandavision had everything this show was lacking, this show could not have been more political if it had tried. If you have to, make a point and move on, but it couldn't, it got to a point where I was counting how many political and anti-white statements it was making, instead of rooting for the Falcon I was starting to dislike him, not his fault, blame the writers. While on the subject the villains were a bit mediocre, however Bucky was very likeable but pushed to the background, Zemo was good and unpredictable, and that was pretty much it. If there is another season of this nonsense I will not be watching. This isn't entertainment, it's a political platform. | 3 |
This movie is bad. It feels like a film which has no idea what it is, carelessly assembled from individual scenes that add very little to one another. Take each piece of the quilt on its own and they are not bad, some are even good. Taken as a whole you will find yourself asking the same question repeatedly: Why do I care? At many points it is obvious how James is trying to advance the story, you can see and understand the reasoning behind decisions. It is done so clumsily, though, that you are never engaged in a well crafted story, you just see the component parts of an attempt at one.
As far as spectacle goes, this film has plenty. You can tell they spent a quarter of a billion on it. By the time three hours is up the novelty will have worn off. | 3 |
We can't hear the dialogue Whenever they speak I barely can hear what they are saying they have spent too much too make it a great movie and I love almost all Nolan's movies but this one I was trying to enjoy.... great graphics and story line but the sound............. this is probably submitted by hundreds before me but I just want to add my voice to them I read this """Audiences have complained about drowned out dialogue and muffled conversations, with an overbearing soundtrack that obscures major plot points. But what they do not appear to have realized is that they were experiencing the 'impressionistic way' sound was mixed in the movie""" I still don't I wanted to hear them speak sorry | 6 |
For the first portion of this "review" I will be going over the theme of the Film, or from what I have gathered what I believe it to be. I believe that the theme of this movie was Tony Starks own Legacy and that of his fathers. There is the legacy that he is continuing to follow with Iron Man and then his own personal legacy as Tony Stark the Business Man. He has to find a way to make the two co-exist. This is shown throughout the film when he is going through the crisis of trying to find a replacement mineral for his "pacemaker" before it kills him from poisoning in his blood stream (Favreo, 2010).
I will now begin to go into detail on the plot of the film and then follow up with mentioning some of the characters and their roles. The plot starts out telling about the story of where it left off from the first movie. That is that Tony Stark and Iron Man are the same being. One of the personas is being a superhero, while the other is a rich playboy billionaire. In this film he is consistently being harassed by the government to give up his suit but he is reluctant to do so (Favreo, 2010). This brings the upcoming of new enemies to Iron Man rather than your typical villain, now it's the United States Government. Unwilling to give up his suit and due to his inexcusable actions at the time, his best friend and government official is forced to take the Mark 2 protocol and steal it (Favreo, 2010). This is where the character War Machine is created. Amongst his search for a new element, he has also put peppers in control of Stark Enterprises.
The next portion of this paper will be in regards to the Characters. I will briefly describe each important one and the role that they played. First we have Tony Stark, who is played by Robert Downey Jr. and he is of course Iron Man as well. Then we have Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Plots, and that is Tony Stark's assistant/secret love. Then there is Tony's best friend, Rhodey Rhodes who also plays War Machine. Then Down the list is Samuel Jackson who plays Nick Fury and as well as Scarlett Johanson who plays a spy for Shield. Sam Rockwell plays as Justin Hammer and Mickey Rourke plays as the main villain Ivan Vanko (Favreo, 2010).
In Iron Man one and two the transitions and editorial cutting that are used allow the movie to flow smoothly. It allows for certain action scenes to go to the next one or next level. For example, when Tony Stark first arrives at the expo center at the begging of the film it transitions into action (Iron Man flying to expo) then into moderation (where he is in his tuxedo and is hosting and portrays his father's segment) (Favreo, 2010). There are many other areas in the film but this is what came to mind first. Transition played a huge effect in the making of this movie and it allowed it to run smoothly from scene to scene.
The sound effects that came to mind that made me feel like I was actually there was in the middle of the movie when Tony was having his birthday party. His friend Rhode was upset and took the Mark 2 protocol suit (Favreo, 2010). The music along with the sound effects from the fight made it seem as if you were really there. Another scene was towards the end when it was an all out battle. When he was flying under the highway and the robots were blowing up, it brought the viewer in and seemed so realistic that one may have thought that the pieces would come flying at them from the blown up robots (Favreo, 2010).
In conclusion, I have described an overall summary and review of the film Iron Man 2.I have provided all the information that was required for this assignment as well. I have described how the character plays two roles and what the issue at hand is during the film. Overall I thought that it was a Blast of excitement and was put together very well. I would recommend this movie to any action or comic buff. I am one of those, so that is why my decision may be influenced to some degree. Overall I would give the film the rating of an A-. | 10 |
A strong woman instead of a real prototype man. Drug addict, alcoholic, dirt and beauty. Of course, not without gays, as well as neflix without them. | 7 |
The film has all the right script, context and genuinely great actors. Adam Sandles's character was never ending in it's bad personality. Everything that is wrong in a partnership. I was hoping that he might show a little bit of his comedy instead of the bad manners person that he has become. But I feel he might even truly BE the very person he is portraying. Poor comedy. | 2 |
By episode three I couldn't take it anymore, Clay Jensom hallucinating every 10 minutes was just too much. | 1 |
First time writing a review, but this show is absolutely worth taking the time to write this. What a great look in to the time loop. Dark humor at its best. They hit it out of the park on this one. | 9 |
Not worth your time. Good actors in bad movie. Quite painful watching.
Badly directed movie. The whole film consisted of strangely stuck together passages. The actors are good and play well, but part of the text is silly and the characters are implausible. The plot is boring and the movie is only good for wasting time or watching nice actors.
Aniston and Sandler act well and are the only good thing about this movie. The character of the so-called stupid American is also played in this film. Nor does it do anything good for the country's reputation. A little worn already.
Do yourself a favor and don't watch this movie.. | 3 |
There were good and bad things about this movie. GOOD- The acting was not bad, and I like the lead male role. John Malkovich is awesome, like always. Some good excitement, and a pretty decent plot. BAD- How are you going to cast Sandra Bullock, in her 50's, as a new mother. Super predictable. The story dragged on a bit. Sandra Bullock does not come off tough anymore, Maybe in Speed not in this movie. The plot was a lot like the Happening. Plot holes about why some people can see the thing and not die Overall it's not horrible, but it does have holes, Bullock is old and annoying, and it's been done too many times. But if your bored it's a decent watch. 5.5 | 5 |
My wife and I just finished this series which I'd have stopped watching after the first episode if not for her. After it ended she admitted that it was terrible, but the looks of disgust on my face amused her so she kept watching. Thankfully it was only 6 episodes.
I like the actors who were cast as the two main characters and they performed as expected, but the rest of the cast was utterly terrible. The writing and the story in general was poorly done. The special effects were extremely bad. I like a good biblical satire. "Lucifer" and "Supernatural" come to mind, but this wasn't good in any way whatsoever.
The fact that it is so highly rated here has me really questing the rating system. I cannot really think of a worse television show which is a really strong statement, but it's the truth. You have angels, demons, the devil, Armageddon, and David Tennent. How do you mess that up? | 1 |
As soon as I heard the slow motion scenes I knew Michael Bay had directed this. The story seemed all over the place and the direction of the story was lost. Too many cut backs and talking about there plan.
The bit that got lost was the scene towards the end on the yacht. Went day to night to day. Somehow days had gone past.
Pretty much a standard action film with a weak story line and with a confusing bunch of characters. | 5 |
Nice to look at, pleasant but nothing special. Yes they had to learn some dance numbers and to play the piano but that does not all of a sudden mean this is some incredible movie. It was just fine. not bad. not memorable. I sat down with an open mind ready for a new cinematic experience and left without any reason to recommend it to anyone. i had heard of the incredible acting from Ryan gosling and Emma stone but found no real moments that made me buy in to the relationship they had. not once was an emotion drawn out of me for the entire movie even as charming as the actors in this movie have the ability to be. so by all means watch this movie but you will find it a challenge to remember it after a week. | 1 |
Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter. I've written about Harry Potter many times before, and this won't be much different other then the film itself. It's amazing that after seven novels, a couple of spinoffs and the eight film adaptations, the wizard world of Harry Potter is still as attractive as it was ten years ago. Wizards are nothing new, not even in book format, but with the way author J.K. Rowling put the focus on a child entering into that world, she broke into every child's curiosity about a place that's hidden from modern society. We never want to believe the world is as it is and want it to have something we cannot explain; magic.
It makes sense that the author would want to build the Wizarding World further by establishing more history and lore. In fact, the original Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was not a bad starting point. I like the 1920's setting. I liked how it was set in the United States. I even like Newt Scamander as a character, even though his journey in that movie wasn't really his. Perhaps a sequel can correct that in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
An evil wizard from the first movie Grindelwald (played by Johnny Depp) manages to escape prison while being transported. Wizard zoologist Newt Scamander (played by Eddie Redmayne) at the same time is trying to get his travel rights reinstated, but is denied when he refuses to join the Ministry of Magical when he's asked to join his brother in locating a powerful but dangerous child Credence (played by Ezra Miller). Though he remains firm about being on his own, a visit from a young Albus Dumbledore (played by Jude Law) changes his mind. A lot of it is also because wherever Credence is, Newt thinks that he'll find auror Tina (played by Katherine Waterston).
Before he leaves, he's visited by Tina's sister Queenie (played by Alison Sudol) and muggle Jacob (played by Dan Fogler). An argument over muggles being able to marry magic people forces Queenie to leave. Everyone seems to be traveling to Paris, where Credence is located. But it also happens that Grindelwald is searching for Credence, where he hopes he can use the boy's unstable power to rise in power. Sides are taken as Newt, Tina, Grindelwald, and the Ministry of Magic race to see if they can prevent a wizard war.
It pains me to say that Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the first genuinely bad Harry Potter movie. I should probably start with the story. Not only does this have to do little with Newt Scamander, but a lot of the plot with Grindelwald and the conflicts over having to hide the magic world doesn't make the story feel important. In fact, a lot of the stakes are so low that the real crime of the movie is that it's boring. It takes too long to get going ( I swear, the plot itself doesn't start till halfway), it pads out more then needed (much time is spent talking about the same morals), and the ending drags on forever (a lot is on Grindelwald making a windbag speech).
I'll give some credit to the actors like Eddie Redmayne, Dan Fogler, and Johnny Depp for playing their parts the best they could. My favorite has to be Jude Law as a young Dumbledore, who brings a lot of needed charm. It's just a shame he has little to do with the story. You could have cut him out and it would have not changed the story. I would love to see a spinoff about a young Dumbledore on his own adventure.
But what about this adventure? The other big problem is that because the stakes is on everyone finding this one guy, what is Newt learning on his journey? That it's important to take sides. This takes a very grey series that only had a few established bad guys, and makes it painfully black and white. The biggest shame is that it's all in the screenplay's faults, which was written by J.K. Rowling. It feels like three ideas for stories crammed into one and that this only serves to set up future movies without being a good one on it's own.
I'll give this three broken wands out of five. This is a major disappointment within the world of Harry Potter. You're better off watching the original movies. This is a movie that feels cursed then entire way. | 3 |
After hearing good things about this movie i paid to see it. From the outset i thought this may be good but as the movie went on i must say i got bored to the point i wanted it to end. The whole film was overshadowed by the black people oppressed political message being rammed at you from every angle every few minutes this is not me being racist by the way its pointing out the overuse of the message throughout the film which makes you think just bore off. The female characters overahadowed the males all the way through the movie which made the star of the film not the star. I was left feeling dissapointed by the whole thing especially the appualing soundtrack. If i could rate it with less stars i would but danai guarira and martin freeman earned these 2 stars. The fight scenes were lame no funny moments well at least if there were jokes the whole seriousness of the movie hid them well. Was not very entertained at all. Marvel need to buck up there ideas a bit as this was a flop. The fact that most of the cast were black meant nothing to me the only issue i had with this was the rubbish accents from most. The only aaving grace was the rhinos how cool were they ? All in all craptain america with a black cast. BORING AS SIN. please stan lee sort it out. | 2 |
I first watched this film when it had an advanced preview before its wide release. I liked the film but it did not feel it was a Best Picture Oscar winner and I believe screenwriter Akiva Goldsman is a hack of the worst kind. Well he did write Batman & Robin and here explains 'Game Theory' in terms of picking women up at bars which should had been enough to disqualify him for an Oscar win.
Over the years the film's disparity with actual true events has been an issue with a lot of people. The trouble is nearly all films tend to be fictionalised for dramatic effect and A Beautiful Mind I guess is no better or worse but to me felt like a film loosely based on some true facts.
I recently re-watched the film and planned to review it. The death of John and Alicia Nash in a traffic accident focused my mind on the review.
What I took away from my reviewing of A Beautiful Mind was Nash as played by Russell Crowe being surprised by the varied use of the Game Theory principles in the world of commerce. It makes the hackneyed attempt to explain this theory by Goldsman make it look even more inept. I actually find myself thinking of how Game Theory applies in real life with things like sport rights television auctions.
Once upon a time one channel would buy up exclusive rights to soccer. A winner take all attitude which presumably led to underhand tactics such as bribery.
Now you have packages sold to various TV channels, which means several channels in one country will show live soccer at different times and days with another channel having highlights and the soccer authorities maximising their revenue. The poor punter gets even more poorer though having to pay more in subscription payments!
On the weekend that Nash died I even thought if Game Theory could apply in things like peace talks. Were the South African Truth and Reconciliation hearings just another application of Game Theory put in practice?
A Beautiful Mind kind of overlooks the most important part Nash work and really places it as a footnote.
What we have is Russell Crowe playing the most muscular, dull/shy Ivy league mathematician you will ever get to meet in a film whose depiction of mental illness borrows heavily from the hit movie released several years earlier, The Sixth Sense.
You kind of lulled into a false sense of security before you are hit in the gut with a sucker punch, but eh, this is a film of a man who suffered from mental illness. I saw the punch coming.
You then see Nash regaining his self, his worth and his wife. He returns to academia and gains academic acceptance with a Noble prize.
The film is watchable, there are some nice flourishes put in by Ron Howard the director but it feels less substantial than its critical acclaim suggests which includes an Oscar for best picture.
A Beautiful Mind is a picture of a man where they give you the biography but miss out on his thinking. | 4 |
This movie had great CGI and of course the amazing Fantastic Beasts cast from the 1st! Unfortunately, it does feel like it spends all of the run time setting up the Fantastic Beasts universe for future films. If you are a Potter fan then you are bound to enjoy this film, otherwise if not, you may leave confused The film also introduces many characters but not to the extent that they are very memorable. The movie is still worth the ticket price just because of visuals alone! I recommend getting background a little on the Wizarding World if you haven't already. 6/10 | 6 |
She liked it because it was a story that took place on a summer day, and we need a summer story. This season, the cast acted well, and Millie Bobby Brown was beautiful! Thank you. | 8 |
I can see the humor in Fargo.The characters have a quirkiness and a dialect that most would find at least a little humorous,particularly that of Marge Gunderson.They do and say things that would give you at least a slight chuckle.The American Film Institute ranks it not only in their top 100 greatest films in cinema history,but it is also in their top 100 funniest films.It has a uniqueness that I suppose qualifies it for both lists,but speaking on a personal taste level,I had trouble laughing at this film's humor due to the fact that there were so many dead bodies lying in the way.I don't argue with what the AFI calls a great film,but I just didn't connect with this film at all,and this will most likely be my first and last trip to Fargo. | 6 |
This LOST IN SPACE reboot is fun but deeply flawed. Similar to the 1965 original, the Robinson family -- John (father), Maureen (mother) and their three children: 18 year-old Judy, 15-year-old Penny and 10-year-old Will -- are earthlings on their way to colonize Alpha Centauri. In classic pulp fashion, the mother ship is damaged (no spoilers as to why), so the colonists are forced to abandon ship on their private family Jupiter-class spacecraft. With, as in the original, the Robinson's being the Jupiter 2.
This is fun. It's pure Heinlein. It's a classic G-movie/ made-for-TV/ 50's pulp science fiction, family-friendly version of colonization, with Jupiters being the Conestoga wagons running through space instead of the American semi-arid west.
And the plot in general has that classic feel. Like Edgar Rice Burroughs's BARSOOM series, where the swashbuckling hero John Carter saves Mars from various villains, LOST IN SPACE \'s plot has a campy feel. The heroes are virtuous. But because of that innate goodness, they cannot see that some among them are bad. Which give the villains plenty of leeway.
Needless to say, this type of fiction appeals to the younger among us. So like the original, this reboot seems geared towards younger audiences. ANd I can report that ALL of my nieces and nephews in the 8 to 13-year-old aged range loved this show. It's all I heard of over Easter.
That said, an adult watcher should beware. The plot is often ridiculous. The characters are supposed to be the best and brightest which, to me, gives the plot an elitist feel.
For we adults, the writers have included some bad dystopian science fiction,There's a corrupt government, a never-ending war and hints of ecological disaster. But this strikes me as more X-FILES that real. Again, it's fun and fictional. As is the soap opera-like family dynamics addressed. John is a Navy Seal who volunteered for missions after he could have retired during the war (which we see no details of). This causes Maureen, an areonautical engineer, to be a cold and distant to him. Ergo, the family dynamic is a prime focus here. With a father trying to reclaim the love of his family against the solid, and understandable anger of his wife.
That said, the biggest flaw I saw in the series is lack of humor. Except f0r the hilarious Don West, who turns out to be a Han Solo-type mechanic with a brashe exterior but a heart of gold, every other character seems grim. They are Big-S Scientists. They lord over reality with somber observations and impeccable, rational logic.Even the young Will Robinson seems devoid of childish whimsy. And that's too bad.
Worse, in the original, the villain Doctor Smith played his character with campy glee. This added another layer of humor. Here, however, Doctor Smith (now a woman) is just a standard, manipulative villain. And very, very orally questionable.
And if that's not enough, the adult viewers will notice other flaws. The science is just wrong in several places... though I cannot say where to avoid spoilers. But as a for instance, remember that for a lake, ice freezes from the top-down, it's exposure to the cold air the ultimate cause.
But worse are the plot holes. For allegedly smart people, the colonists make stupid choices. They don't share key information with others. And after they learn of a T. Rex-like predator on the planet, they don't print guns on their 3-d printers. Worse, no one sees through Doctor Smith's way-too-obvious machinations. Perhaps it's their innate virtuousness, but I don;t buy that. No doubt the target audience will dismiss these flaws, but as adults, they gape and detract.
Flaws aside, I found the series enjoyable. Not great cinema, but passable TV that hearkens back to a simpler era. Your kids will love it. But you'll be aware of gaping plot-holes... but all the while pulled into the series by wanting to learn how x, y or z cliffhanger resolves. | 5 |
Losing interest, taking too long between seasons 👋 | 4 |
Truley I didn't get the movie this time. Then to be cleared I read some reviews. Oh yea, then I get it is a good one with a great message. It seems very uncleared in my first sight. The starting half an hour was interesting. But then the scenes started becoming scattered & I lost the enjoyment. I'm giving it 5 & added it to rewatchlist for future jugement. Again I want say that the message was really great. But maybe tough to catch it in very 1st watch. This might be lovely one for Psychological movie lovers :-) | 5 |
I agree the concept was good . The film had potential. But it is lost in the execution. Christopher Nolan is a visionary no doubt about that but seriously this is a very mediocre film and probably very overrated. | 5 |
5 episodes into the show, I should be wanting to continue on. Here I find myself constantly wondering what I missed in the episode before and how characters jump from being in one place to the next. The timeline is hard to follow which just makes is feel choppy. I understand eventually all 3 timelines come together but I can't even keep track of stories within themselves, nevermind how they all link. The Yennifer story is the weakest. Character development is lacking and the only character that's even cool is Geralt. Maybe the books are better? I haven't read them. For a show to be a good show you shouldn't HAVE to read the books first for it to make sense. Overall, disappointed based on the overall review of the show here. I don't know how it is over a 6 to be honest. Not worth my time. | 2 |
It's an easy to watch, fun series. It's not overwhelmingly funny, nor is it hooking in the way conventional dramas are, but it's easy to watch without having to think the whole way along. The costume, makeup and set design are awesome. | 8 |
Too many plot holes. The first 90 minutes were really slow. The next 90 minutes were too rushed. Infinity war was wayyyyy better. | 2 |
Tarantino has a great sense of parody on his own industry. So he needed only the collect some of the most mediocre dialogues from western movies and fill in with weak storyline and very thiny dialogues with no smart writing. Nothing comparable with Tarantino previos well-written scripts. Sure all the actors and director had fun in ghe shooting. Final 20 minutes saved it to 4stars from zero. | 4 |
Started well including the scene where Barbie removes her feet from her shoes and remains the same shape (as per the trailer) but after Barbie and the characters were introduced the script began to lose its way. As though the writer tried to include little memories or what would be nice rather than a theme or good story throughout. If you have nothing to do worth watching but if you are expecting laughs or a wow factor don't expect too much. I think also instead of directing to children and adults just stick to one or other. Actors were all good but the story just let them down. Hopefully not a trilogy on the way. | 6 |
Really enjoyed this movie - from ballerina to killer to secret agent - from Russia with love.
Loved the twist at the end....... | 10 |
Death Note is a masterpiece among thousands of anime. It shines above all, basking in the light of a new world. The plot line is slightly confusing, which is why I gave it a 9/10. I still need to re watch it to refresh my mind, as it has been over seven months since I watched Death Note. However, I remember a twisted main character, an ominous foreshadowing, and an incredibly intense game of cat and mouse. This anime will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. Death Note was the most intense thriller of my entire life, and this diamond in the rough of many other anime is definitely a keeper. For the love of Light Yagami, please watch this! | 9 |
I believe my review should help u figure out if this is your kind of movie or not. This movie is known for being the first independent movie make it that big. All that aside
Characters are gooood, acting too, and the feel of the movie (photography, production....)is fresh. Really, even in '14 still good (stark). its minimal soundrack, sharp editing (often creative),sense of mystery is maintained, oh! and the dialogues!! they create the mood so well, thats their priority . For most part its a lot of charged but paced conversations that are subtle and lifelike. its not just that its a good movieoverall . But its not about the plot its more theme based.
hope it helps. | 8 |
I'm not actually sure why it didn't keep my interest, I think mainly I just never really cared about the characters. The plot wasn't any worse than some shows I've enjoyed, and I don't think the acting was all that bad. But I pushed through most of the first season on pure willpower. I watched each episode because I felt like I should keep giving it a chance, not because I really wanted to.
Then one day I realized I hadn't watched an episode in weeks, and I didn't care. I'm sure mister angry man goes on with his quest for revenge and kills lots of bad guys, probably in clever and dramatic ways. But I think I would have preferred if he had just died after a couple of episodes, then I would have felt some relief that it was over and I could move on to something else. Instead I forced myself to keep watching for a while, then moved on to something else anyway. Meh. | 4 |
Calling all adrenaline junkies and Ryan Reynolds enthusiasts! Gear up for 6 Underground, an action extravaganza that promises explosions, fast cars, and enough bullets to rival a high-noon showdown. But does this Michael Bay-helmed film unearth a hidden gem, or leave you feeling like you dug up a dud? Let's crack open the vault and see!
First, let's heist the highlights: The action sequences are undeniably fun. Think car chases that defy physics, gravity-defying stunts, and enough firepower to make Rambo blush. It's a sensory overload in the best way possible, especially if you crave a popcorn flick that doesn't demand intellectual heavy lifting. And let's face it, Ryan Reynolds delivers his signature charm, even when buried under layers of grit and amnesia (because of course). The supporting cast, while not exactly award-worthy, holds their own in the action chaos.
Now, let's peek under the mask: While the characters might not be Shakespearean, they serve their purpose as action heroes, delivering charisma and badassery in equal measure. The true star of the show, however, is the action itself. Bay delivers his signature explosive style, with car chases and stunts that are guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping. And hey, sometimes that's exactly what you need from a movie - pure, unadulterated thrills without the burden of a complex plot.
So, should you crack this cinematic safe? If you're looking for a purely entertaining, no-brainer action flick, then 6 Underground might be your cup of nitro-fueled coffee. Just remember, it's style over substance. Don't expect a profound message or mind-blowing twists. But if you're craving a visual spectacle with a dash of Reynolds wit, then put on your shades, hit play, and prepare for a wild ride. | 6 |
What a crazy dark comedy with twists and turns!! When you guess this would be the next, it proves you false and this is the speciality of the movie. And then the climax of rhe movie.
The background score and the music to suit the moment/scene is fabulous. The music director has done a wonderful job. Kudos. Screenplay is awesome..gets to the nerves.
All the characters have done a great job, but then superb acting by Radhika and Huma. Fabulous direction by Vasan Bala. Once again it is proved that content and talent shines over anything.
I got reminded of Andhadhun!! Sheer Brilliance!!
Highly recommend!! | 8 |
We have a white dude killing an impossible amount of "browns" (arabs) gangsters, showing how superior he is in both, skill and smarts, but also being the better person (a criminal, but a good one, with a past yes, but haunts him because he is in fact good), when compared with the diabolical enemies.
To get there, the writers had to force alot of scenes, losing every bit of the realism gained by the setting and production. In the end, this movie is as realistic as any superhero movie (and less than many of them, even).
Having said that, the action is superb. While the characters aren't more than avatars and the story as thin as possible (rescuing X, in the hands of X in the City X), the chase sequences and shootouts are insane. Some are "one take" long shots. Not in the ridiculously boring 1917 way, with minutes and minutes of nothing BUT IN ONE SHOT. And not in the unnecessary Birdman way, that brought nothing to the story, but more in the "Children of Men" way (even if that movie is way better).
For the action? 10 pts. For all the rest? 0 pts. Result? 5 pts. | 5 |
This was a breezy, fun, and hilarious film. The script, setting, and casting were spot on. Bill Hader, Russell Brand and Jonah Hill have impeccable comedic timing, while Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis are beautiful and delightful as always. I especially liked the use of flashbacks, when it showed how Segel and Bell's characters did have soft spots in their five year relationship, despite how tumultuous it was. This is a must see rom-com.
My only qualm would be the movie was perhaps a half hour too long. Other than that, I was immersed in the story and continuously laughing, | 8 |
This movie is being hailed as a love letter to the hollywood of yesteryear but that's already been done so many times before and with a better use of ambiance, even in tv shows, not big budget nondirectional overhyped, under developed movies. Leo was great, Brad was Brad (he's not a bad actor, but has done better) and i find it ludicrous that he won the golden globe for this role that required almost zero range as an actor. The movie is ultimately very forgettable and an utter disappointment for any QT fans expecting something edgy and original. | 4 |
This is a film you feel you should follow the reviews but the more you watch it the more you start to think it's a re-watchable fun fest. Technically it's the most content filled frame by frame action you will have seen since transformers. The boat scene is exceptionally good which reminds me of Jackie chains armour of god 2. | 7 |
What is this movie is doing in the top ten? Its a good movie. By good I mean - you go to see it and you walk out saying - that was a good movie. Then you may watch it again because you remember enjoying it the first time. On the third viewing you are beginning to tire of it and the characters seem more contrived and you begin to see how the script has some flaws. Still - all and all - its better than most. A great movie (and there are many) is a movie that no matter how many times you watch it you marvel at the script - the performances - the music - all the things we love about the movies. The Shawshank Redemption doesn't come close. Well made, good performances, but not great and not deserving of being on ANY top ten movie list of all time. | 5 |
What is this??? Season 2... So disappointed. I was expecting something extraordinary, but I've got mixture of Game of thrones, Lord of the rings, human, elves. Watched for 3 episodes and I can't watch anymore. 🤦♀️ | 1 |
I think The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up are among the best comedies of recent years. So, obviously when I heard the guys who made those movies made Superbad, my expectations were very high. Well, Superbad started off promising with quite a few funny parts, but as the movie went on I laughed less and less. After awhile the laughs were so few that I was just hoping the movie would hurry up and end. So what went so wrong? I believe the key is Judd Apatow, who was involved in the writing and directing of The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up. In Superbad, he was only the producer. Next time I see a movie "from the guys who brought you Knocked Up" I'm going to make sure Judd Apatow was involved in the writing and/or directing. | 4 |
Movie would have been much better and about 30 minutes shorter if they removed the wife from it all, rather than shoving her in as they did. | 7 |
Oh God! This season is so good! As you see the rating of separate episodes are 10/10 which is higher then any GoT episodes. And the series deserve it. The best fantasy drama mangawise, animationwise, anywise. Especially as the story progresses. Season 3 part 2 delivers with each episode either as an action or dialogue sequence. Highly recommended | 10 |
This was definitely a unique story and Anya did a great job with her character. It got a bit long in the tooth in the episodes leading up to the finale, but was still bearable to watch. I like the mom, but hated what happened to her. It was enjoyable to watch. Give it a try whether you like chess or not. | 8 |
Batman Begins was pretty good. Boring and not fun compared to Burton's films, but WAY better than Batman And Robin 1997. But The Dark Knight is SO overrated. Is Heath's acting good? Yeah. Is it enough to save the movie? No. He died before it came out and that's why it gets the hype/praise it does. Bale's costume is terrible, his vehicles are ugly, his voice terrible. Heath looks like a goth/grunger psycho and is not fun at all. Eckhart is good as Dent/Two Face but I like Billy Dee Williams a lot more. The only one who's great in this is Oldman as Gordon. Nolan got that right. I gotta give him credit for that. Oldman is PERFECT as Gordon. Too bad the rest of the movie sucks. Its not gothic either like Burton's masterpiece. Many scenes just look like Chicago with a blue sky. Very disappointed. This movie is painful to watch and I looked at my watch several times. | 3 |
I very much enjoyed Chernobyl, it was gripping drama, interesting science and the settings and acting were great.
But, after watching it I did a bit of fact checking. One of the central themes of the show is the importance of truth--but the show itself is mostly disinformation about a tragic, important event. Dramatic license I can understand--but this is too much and seems disrespectful to all involved.
So, watch it for the drama, but don't believe a word; not even the "facts" at the end, which are weasel-worded and misleading.
A missed opportunity to do good by telling the truth. | 5 |
"Glass Onion" was born with an advantage over its predecessor, and it is no coincidence that, this time, Craig clearly assumes the role of protagonist previously played by Ana de Armas: already properly introduced to the viewer (who in "Knives Out" was even led to doubt the subject's efficiency), Blanc can now have her personality and idiosyncrasies explored in more depth, which allows us to even get to know her boyfriend-husband (in a way that I would never dare to reveal). At the same time, Johnson once again elaborates a complex plot that turns on itself without ever losing control, tying up all the ends, no matter how small, in a dramatic architecture so satisfying that the immediate impulse is to watch the film again to check it out. Each element and the way they fit into the rest, just like in the previous feature. It is inevitable that we repeat much of the criticism of the previous film, since Rian Johnson demonstrates immense narrative cohesion when putting together his plots, planning structures that at first sound simple and direct until a revisit from a different point of view exposes previously ignored elements that contextualize everything, we thought we knew. In this aspect, the director's strategy echoes the musical definition of "fugue" that cellist Yo-Yo Ma offers in a quick tip and which involves precisely the gradual overlapping of voices: "The fugue is a beautiful musical enigma based on a single melody; When you superimpose that melody on itself, it starts to change and becomes a new, beautiful structure."
In terms of general structure, the second film in the now franchise is a repetition, with all the Hollywood exaggerations of the first, starting with the eclectic stellar cast made up of names like Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Kate Hudson and Dave Bautista, going through use of a confined environment in which a mysterious murder takes place and which the private detective, whose presence is inadvertent once again, must then solve with the help of a lavish amount of flashbacks. It is, in short, another whodunnit in the best Agatha Christie style, but with an infinite budget that allows, for example, the story to take place on an island in the Greek archipelago where technology billionaire Miles Bron (Norton in a very affected but great performance which, not unintentionally, evokes names like Howard Hughes, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and other similar figures from the real world) has a gigantic mansion with a surreal glass pier that emerges from the sea and an even more surreal "glass onion" in your center that functions as your office.
This whole construction of the mystery is very good and perfectly follows the genre's guide, with the addition that both its protagonist and the characters that are part of this game are great to follow. The problem is that the film simply loses itself in what is most fun about these stories: the investigation and the resolution. A good whodunnit also turns the viewer into a detective. It's that narrative that plays with our perceptions, since as interesting as placing the pieces on the board is letting us be part of the moves that lead to checkmate. And that's where the sequel to "Knives Out" stumbles. While the first half of the film is dedicated to building the suspense and introducing each of the suspects and their possible motivations, the second part is entirely focused on showing how everything happened, leaving no room for us to participate in this investigation.
As soon as the crime happens, the script starts throwing answers on the screen. For more than an hour, the film becomes a great exposition of everything that happened and leaves the audience out of this feeling of being a bit Benoit. At no point do you feel deceived by following false leads, as there is barely time for that. In fact, the whole thing is so rushed that the protagonist himself stops being the brilliant detective we were promised and becomes just the narrator of what the film hid from us. Everything is shown so hurriedly that there is barely time for us to see the insight of the character that won us over in the previous film. In the end, it lacks the charm of the first film. At the same time, there's no way to say that "Glass Onion" is a bad movie. Despite not being on par with "Knives Out", it remains very fun and entertaining with a mystery that is not brilliant, but is still entertaining. Like this glass onion, it is worth much more for the adornments of its layers than for the secret it pretends to keep.
The production sets its events in a fantastic location and features a gallery of characters with vast reasons to eliminate someone - characters who, also following the film adaptations of Christie's books, are played by renowned actors, forming a notable cast. Of course, the very size of this cast ends up making a deeper development of their personalities unfeasible, which come to be defined by one or two well-defined traits and which each performer embraces with fun commitment, also allowing the filmmaker to satirize specific groups that deserve the ridiculous (and which, not least, began to torment the director for daring to stray from the obvious in the controversial "The Last Jedi" - and, not surprisingly, the misogynistic Duke has a tattoo of the Empire on one of his fingers). It is inspired, in particular, by Kate Hudson's composition, which illustrates the eternal cycle followed by so many influencers: controversial actions and speeches followed by apologies that soon give way to a persecution complex for "having the courage to say what they think", which leads to new controversies and new excuses and so on. In this sense, it is worth noting that "Glass Onion" incorporates the Covid 19 pandemic into its universe, being precisely the influencer, of course, the first to disrespect social distancing (and the lace mask she wears is, like everything else in her life, pure showcase).
More than the film's central mystery, the characters - and the way Johnson writes them - end up being the most attractive part of "Glass Onion". With each passing scene, the viewer accumulates more and more anger towards each of the Disruptors (the name given to the group by Norton's character), so that it is difficult to reach the third act without wanting them all to end up behind bars. Following the line, he presented in the original film; Johnson uses the characters from "Glass Onion" to attack the US economic and intellectual elites and the way they work to maintain the status quo. Playing with the arrogance and lack of scruples that shape relationships in the capitalist world, the filmmaker paints an unflattering portrait of American society and the way it abandons any conviction in the face of the possibility of profit. Even though they feature some caricatured moments, the "villains" of the new film are terribly realistic and it is easy to imagine some dialogues being delivered seriously by personalities like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan.
The script's only major weakness lies in the central mystery. Unlike what he did previously, Johnson keeps the identity of the victim until the second act of "Glass Onion". The revelation of the murdered man is surprising, but becomes much less impressive when Blanc inevitably discovers the culprit and his motives. Through the detective, the filmmaker himself admits the obviousness of the revelation with a dialogue that sounds much more like self-criticism than the traditional reconstruction of facts in whodunits. Although he gets lost at one point or another in the script, Johnson makes up for this slip-up with sharp direction. More dynamic and agile than the previous one, especially in its second half, "Glass Onion" keeps the viewer on the edge of their seats thanks to its well-placed cuts and the way each suspect is framed from the beginning to the end of the film. There is an even greater immediacy in the sequence than that present in the original feature, especially in its second half, when Blanc starts to share the leading role with another character. Less surprising, but just as fun as its predecessor, Glass Onion holds the audience's attention with its incredible performances and has the potential to satisfy even the most demanding fans of playful detective mysteries like this.
With a formidable production design in the conception of Miles' mansion - from the glass furniture in the billionaire's office to the large room that houses much of the story and includes mini-environments with a distinct personality -, "Glass Onion" also benefits from great sound design by Josh Gold, who stands out, for example, by using phone notifications and noises from the protective glass of a painting to generate tension, which is highlighted by the dynamic editing (but didactic in revealing each relevant element) by Bob Ducsay, Johnson's regular collaborator.
Once again ridiculing the superficiality and mediocrity of economic "elites", Rian Johnson has established himself, with only six feature films under his belt, as a director with clear thematic concerns and who knows how to mix them with his genre exercises with efficiency - and best of all: with an infectious sense of humor, making "Glass Onion" an exuberant, sumptuous and hilarious comic cocktail. With impeccable timing, the script knows how to balance two different formats, making the plot always engaging, serious, but sweetened by the acidity of an intelligent, insightful humor and occasionally even a hilarious comedy. With a dynamic narrative structure, which comes to life and readapts according to the development of the supporting characters' arcs, the mystery thriller is impeccable in its quality and features an editing that takes us back to classic detective stories from the 50s and 60s. | 7 |
The first 3 seasons are pretty great, but it just went downhill after that. Seasons 5-7 are pretty much unwatchable. Fitzsimmons are the only reason I suffered through it. They're absolutely adorable and wonderful and OTP. | 4 |
This movie is only funny but for kids. It is unrealistic. Bit annoying and too much talk. Too much annoying behavior, but this is forgivable because it is movie for kids. Bit negative because it tries to demonstrate serious and sad history in funny way. Bit realistic because it shows bit of real life history and human behaviors and feelings. Bit emotional. But can't be compared to some of the best movies which have more serious and realistic topic, plus they can be more funny. There is too much attention given to kids, like it is more about their acting skills rather than quality of the movie or our feelings. More boring at beginning, less boring at the end. Great graphics, but still amateur. Lacks some serious and realistic content and real actors. Everything too amateur, vague, too simple and forced. | 5 |
The remake takes all the fanciful wonder of the original and replaces it with the stale crunch of a BBC documentary. Sure, the CG looks impressively realistic. But the original is often considered a pinnacle, a benchmark modern CG is still trying to achieve. There are ways animation can often tell a story more effectively than live-action, and CG is usually somewhere between live action and hand-drawn. The remake aims for the realistic end of the spectrum, only it's less charming than real animals. If you compare it to live-action films with real animals, like Babe, Lion King 2019 seems lifeless. There's neither the expressiveness you get with animation nor the spontaneity and fidgetiness you get with real animals - it looks accurate, but accurate for a soulless beast under a spell: predictable, mundane, overly smooth. It's like the animators' greatest fear was of accidentally surprising the audience. Heaven forbid any frame less than 99.9% predictable!
Expressive animal faces? Not realistic. Dancing? I mean, Pixar doesn't so probably nobody will miss it. Humor? Let's get rid of that. Voice acting? So long as we have some voice actors adults know are funny in real life, people won't notice they're not funny in the film.
I literally can't think of a single scene from the remake that was stronger than the original. The closest was the addition of Beyoncé's song, Spirit, which was nice, but overall the scene didn't move the story forward more powerfully than the original. | 2 |
This movie has unique style of story telling, good comedy and lot of suspense. | 9 |
Black mirror- Black mirror, each episode tells a different story, thoughtfully made by different directors. Black mirror is available on Netflix with every episode showing different stories. Not a single episode is related to one another. This show particularly talks about the advancement in technology we will have in the coming years and how it will affect each individual in different ways.
What makes this show which is available on Netflix so different from other shows is the way it portrays the stories with such details. All the actors did a great job and each story seems very new, exciting and engaging.
After watching the whole series one can get an idea that this show's beauty lies in its remarkable ability to speculate on the potential future of our technologically driven world. For example, one of its episodes shows the use of artificial bees by govt. To spy on people and how it is even good for the environment. By the end of this episode, the system gets hacked, people are targeted and killed by the bees etc. Viewers should be warned that the series does not shy away from exploring disturbing themes such as murder, crime, and suicide. Very few of the episodes show happy ending and each story seems to be open ended.
The compelling narrative of each episode is further elevated by powerful performances from the cast, adding depth to their characters and stories. Every element of the show - from the direction to the performances, and even the music - seamlessly comes together to create a truly unforgettable viewing experience
This Netflix series keeps viewers wanting to watch more from start to finish. And by looking at the current developments in the technology, it really makes you believe in the gadgets used in the show. Each episode is phenomenal in its own way. The direction, performance, music everything is just amazing. All these things give this show a special touch which one cannot ignore. The episodes show us both the amazing and dangerous sides of playing with technology.
While the show often ends on a somber note, it never fails to captivate the audience. It's disturbing yet thought-provoking themes make us reflect on the trajectory of our current technological advancements. In the end, "Black Mirror" is not just a TV show. It's a thrilling and sometimes scary look at our world, showing us where we are now and where we might be going. This Netflix series is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that keeps viewers hooked from beginning to end. | 9 |
This movie has nothing going for it; there is literally no plot whatsoever, no suspensful scenes, and the only "horror" found in this movie, if you could call it that, is some cheap jumpscares that you could see coming from a mile way. Don't waste your valuable time and money on this piece of trash. | 1 |
I can't believe I didn't know this has a Reece Shearsmith cameo in it before seeing it. If only he'd had a hand in writing it - that would have elevated the comedy horror element which is that man's forte. I guess it would have been too clever to be a Marvel film then though...
I feel like Tom's brought some Brits along for the ride and I'm here for that. Even if their American accents are trying. I agree with the rating though. I went without expectations (surely people didn't go with high expectations after the first one, which was too just a bit of fun), and just for the fun and I had an alright time. So many good actors and yet... Just alright! | 6 |
I didn't want to watch it, but I did and I was surprised how good it was.
It does fall apart a bit in the third act. Which is unfortunate. There's a pacing issue in the third act. But it's still interesting and fun.
The first two acts are phenomenal!
Christian bale is awesome. And so is the rest of the cast. There's some good laughs, and bale brings the emotion even with regards to some 2 dimensional characters.
Despite its flaws it's a great flick for an evening in watching a movie.
Pretty tame. There's a little gore and mild language.
If you're a graham cracker of a man, you'll enjoy Amsterdam. | 8 |
I'm not going to waste my time with a long review, but as per other Coen Bros. Movies I've seen. This is also plain boring. No connection or empathy with any of the characters. | 5 |
Every few min, characters are talking about unacademy ...is this an ad film going on. There are seperate slots for ads in between, then why using story to do advertisement .?? Looked cheap advertising by unacademy. | 1 |
I have only recently found out about Stephen Chow, I watched Shaolin Soccer on TV, then I found a copy of Kung Fu Hustle. Both great movies. They are unlike anything I have ever seen. I would recommend them to anybody who is into Asian Comedy/Action movies. I hope to see more of Stephen. I enjoy to watch a movie and have my ribs hurt from laughing, then to be wow'd by the excellent Martial Arts and Special Effects. Again I am dazzled by the way that Stephen finds ways to pull the audience in the movie and as well lighten the mood by instantly forcing you to break out in laughter even at a point where you have become totally enthralled. So I end with this, Stephen, if you ever come across this comment, coudos! Keep up the good work. | 9 |
I really tried. But jesus, first the voice, it sounds like a cheap , can't take it seriously at all. Than the movies is like a quiz, is this a flashback, a forward or the current, we will never know because there is no clue and no logic. This makes the storyline very confusing and exhausting, especially because the storyline does not exist. This could have been a very good series and had high hopes. But it's a cheezy bad rom-com which happens to takes place in the Middle Ages. Please don't waste your time. And this studio should consider donate their money to the Australian wildfire instead of throwing their money down the drain. | 1 |
It's an alright show, but witch and vampire tv shows have been done before. So I don't find it as interesting as it could be. It definitely has a slow start, but gets better with each episode. I agree with some of the other reviews that the older vampires should be wiser. Honestly, these older vampires should have an accent. An accent doesn't magically go away in time. Other than that, the show has a pretty good plot. It gives you the feel of a movie more so than a tv show, which I like how more shows are doing that nowadays. If you like the vampire diaries or either 2 of the spin offs, then I highly recommend this show. | 6 |
This will probably be the best movie of 2020. Each character does justice to their roles. Brilliant story telling specially those little moments where one story overlaps with the other. Lot of surprises throughout. Loved it. | 10 |
I'm a fan of The Conjuring and the other Annabelle movies but this one was disappointing. The acting was fine but the story a as weak and the ending was horrible. At least they kept the time period feeling. I expected more from this series. | 5 |
The decision to split the Deathly Hallows into two parts was not just welcome, but basically imperative. We are finally able to see a more comprehensive telling of the story and the film is all the better for it.
There is a significant leap in quality in the Deathly Hallows, in terms of both entertainment value and production quality. It is far more atmospheric than it's predecessors and the quality of acting is significantly improved.
The story whips along without feeling rushed or compromised and the whole film is gripping and enjoyable. Had all the movies been of this quality, the Harry Potter film series could have been legendary. | 7 |
This movie is still hilarious over a decade later. I suspect it will be just as funny in another decade. It does a great job of encapsulating young adults during a specific time period. Dazed and Confused is one of my favorite movies. Superbad isn't the same kind of movie, but it does offer a similar feeling as Dazed does. Nostalgia, and warmth. Cera's reserved, deadpan delivery works to great comedic affect in this movie. | 8 |
Despite the need for female protagonists in action movies, this is the exact way NOT to go about it. Poor acting, over-used CGI and poor plot points. Women need genuine, interesting roles as actors and unfortunately Wonder Woman yet again perpetuates this idea that 'strong women' are only respected and believed by those around her if she's stunningly attractive and wearing nothing but a bra and mini skirt. Yes, I have no idea how this was made in 2017 since it feels more like a sort of teenage boys bedroom fantasy from the 1950s. The whole movie can be summed up by one shot. Imagine: Wonder Woman climbs up over the trenches into no mans land. With complete ease, perfectly curled hair billowing in the wind, a model pout, she bats away pullets all while keeping her perfect runaway walk going. Firstly, an insult to war veterans to say the least, secondly, if that wasn't written by a teenage boy in his bedroom then I'll eat my cape... | 2 |
Excellent TV-drama , but in "the middle" it lost some tempo and got involved in repeating imaging of raditationburned hospitalized victims and animalkilling. That was not necessary. The audinence got the idea already at the first scenes showing radiationburns and shooting of dogs. | 8 |
How This Film Won So Many Awards Is Beyond Me The Musical Numbers Expect For The Opening Number Were Rubbish And The Plot Vey Thin, The Singing Was OK But Nothing Special And The Dancing Was Bad Expect The Opening Number And The Songs Were Not Cathy, The Woody Allen Musical Comedy Everyone Says I love You Was Much Better So See That Film Not La La Land Thank You | 4 |
Shocking scenes just for shock value and not adding to the story line. Obviously not the same crew or production quality.
Will sit the rest of this series out. | 3 |
After reading the reviews i had to write one myself. I liked watching this serie. It was entertaining, but that's it. If you are looking for a new serie to watch but don't want to commit to a season with 10+ episodes of an hour each Russian Doll is perfect. I have no complaints actually. But it just wasn't that interesting as some of these reviews might make you think. It was good enough. That's all. | 7 |
I liked the first Spiderman but could not quite understand why it was considered to be that brilliant. For me the silly Green Goblin "costume" spoiled much of the fun. With Dock Ock we have only the second best Spidey villain but as played by Molina he is much, much better for the film. He is exactly like I thought Ock should appear on the screen. Dito for J. Jonah Jameson. He was just amazing. Please Hollywood, there is nothing wrong in considering a best supporting actors award for him. There are a million great things in this one and I cannot thank the creators enough for giving us a sequel that captures the spirit of the original comic. There is really love and respect for the original but with a lot of unique new ideas that make this work perfectly. (Putting the Bugle into the Flat Iron Building was a stroke of genius.) I still think it was wrong to start with MJ instead of Gwen Stacy - the only real love of Peter Parker - but given the fact that today's readers would not know her that is okay especially as Kirsten Dunst plays her role in a way that unites character traits of both Gwen and MJ. When Peter gave up his Spiderman identity (I think in #50) it was one of the greatest issues in the series and writer(s) of this wisely built the script around this emotional highlite with nearly exactly the image from the comic. Bravo. I do hope the the third part will be as good as this. But if the creative team stays I have no doubts that it will. | 10 |
L am a movie buff. This movie is by far on the top of the mountain of stupidity. I tried to view it from different perspectives e.g. as a comedy, an action thriler, a spoof, a parody a political farce. Nothing worked! It was a torture trying to watch bunch of sissies killing oodles of bad guys just like in a video game and coming out with a few scratches at the end if that! So, watch your grass in your lawn grow! Now that would be something! | 4 |
This is seriously the worst film I have ever watched at the cinema(including Double Jeopardy!). I can't believe I paid good money to see such an incoherent, rambling film. For all those people out there that have given this film a good write up will you please explain to me what was actually good about this film. Nothing happened! I have always enjoyed Jim Carrey as an actor, but to choose to do this film I have to question him. His character was boring, dull and totally lifeless. Kate Winslet's so called American accent kept changing back to English!
The concept of the film should have led to entertainment - instead it failed miserably and I found myself talking to friends during the film, as was everybody else in the cinema because this film is that bad!
There is only one thing I ask - please can you invent the machine from the film and erase the 2 hours that I wasted yesterday! Oh and also a tree that produces money so I can get my wasted £5 back! | 1 |

Everything is fantastic in Season 2 apart from this series is less horror than season 1 that's why #StrangerThings2Review 4.5/5* Looking forward for #strangerthings3 | 9 |
This movie is just bad. No plot, no logic, nothing made sense. It was just empty! Imagine a dream, the craziest one you can come up with. This dream will be 100x better than this movie, really. Tasteless, unwatchable. | 2 |
The plot is non existent, we never understand while the boy is kidnapped in the first place. But the action scenes are very well shot and some of them in long takes. The action type reminds me of John Wick. A very good movie to entertain those who like actions movies. If you are more a "Shakespeare kinda guy", look elsewhere (but the same can be said about all action movies, I believe). | 7 |
For all those who were expecting this to be a reboot of everything from the 90's movie it's not, not should it. This is a reboot of the idea, similar to that latest Star Trek series, same characters alternate story. So take a chill pill and enjoy it for what it's worth. Could the acting use some help yeah, but they've got some really good moments too. So just sit back and relax, and enjoy a very good sci-fi thriller. | 8 |
The story had all the ingredients required for making a great movie. But by pandering to political correctness it lost the plot even before the movie got started. The film is too predictable, with audience able to guess almost every next move. As part of politically correct movies, the characters are right mix of women, blacks and other minorities in important roles such as scientists, commanders etc. Which leads to question with young men and women together for such prolonged periods what can happen between them? Which is ignored here. Matt Damon is the only saving grace of the movie. The special effects are good. But other than the special effects and some desperate attempts by Matt Damon to save the movie, everything else fall flat on the face. | 4 |
The worst movie i have ever seen. Just bad action..Wow i can't believe how much rubbish this managed to pile up.!. | 1 |
If an episode about loan applications and an underlying subliminal military recruitment drive (Uncle Sam anyone?) are your thing you'll love it, but this felt long and quite frankly, tedious. | 6 |
One of the best story i have seen yesterday this is the real india this is the real content which bollywood never ever had to show but sir amitabh and nagraj do this hats off the team everyone should watch the film. | 10 |
I wasted my entire 2 days on this series that has nothing new to offer. The same old concept into new way. It started off well and couple of episodes were good however it got so slow in the mid that 10 episodes looked difficult to finish. Although production value was good and acting too was very realistic but makers could have made slightly pacier. | 5 |
Enjoying the show so far, but lots of typical apocalyptic scenes like some gated community, democratic / revolutions, uprising and disbanding of authoritarian regimes, bandits going round trying to steal and kill, escaping and fighting the zombies (though these are more fearsome), And hope of a vaccine / solution to save the world.
Doesn't deserve a 9 or 10 but it's decent entertainment and better than the likes of walking dead. Characters are arguably better and storylines better too, as with the scenes. Let's see how the show continues and what new things , unpredictable , original story could be developed. | 8 |
I have heard a wide range of opinions on this sequel to a critically acclaimed film, but I enjoyed it almost as much as the first!
The plot was a little confusing at points, but it managed to pull it back after a particular point in the film. One of the ending sequences was really fun and really used the over-the-top set design to create a spectacle. It could have used some more creative filmmaking, but it is a visually pleasing watch.
Some of the characters are a bit less interesting when compared to the first film's family based characters. One character in particular is barely integrated into the plot, which was rather strange. Again, Daniel Craig brings a consistently fun performance. If you really enjoyed the first, I would highly recommend checking this one out! | 7 |
The special effects are good the story and character build is also done well. This was an excellent rework on a classic... so well done!! - the robot brought a great perspective and good spin on the story. For me the Dr Smith character that was seen in the film (remake based on the the 60s version) was a bit over the top at points getting really annoying rarther than building the character but other than that this is well worth a watch! | 9 |
This is probably one of the best Marvel tv show I have seen. However there is some flaws throughout three seasons. Season 1 was really good on introducing the character to the viewers, Season 2 was where the problems started. Season 2 was not as good the story was not really well written. Season 2 felt like it was trying to advertise other tv shows a lot of the story plot was to promote the show Defenders and the Punisher. Season 3 was great but I would say season 1 is the best out of all. However there were a few problems like a repetitive story but still it was great. Season 2 was the main problem thats why its an 8. | 8 |
I don't care who you are, and I'm a big fun of Tarantino, but this is a disaster. Yes his genius is present in almost every scene, and some sequences are constructed in a way that very few filmmakers can even see, but the story just isn't there, despite the tragic truths upon which the idea is based.
The film is too slow and the only reason I was able to sit through the whole thing was the magnificent acting and the fact that I knew Tarantino was behind it.
No way this material justifies 2 and a half hours of film and at the end of the day, very few will remember it.
Come to think of it, I can't even comprehend why he didn't make the real story of Tate and her death by Manson's followers. Now that's a film I would love to see ... On a positive note he was only beating around the bush, so maybe this will give someone else the idea to really go for it. | 6 |
This show is good, and you may like it.
The performance of Jenna Ortega as Wednesday will be the only thing that will make you keep watching the show.
The show on itself is not that well written.
Like, there ar evampries, sirens, and other monsters out there, but we don't see them use their powers at all, else it would have been something.
The School feels like a budget Hogwarts(I feel like many will relate). And more plot holes and logic mistakes here and there. And the Climax was Okay, you may like it, But it's not the best.
The Whole show felt like a cheap budget remake of wizarding world, except All the fun stuff removed.
The story is predictable by some degree.
Finally, The whole show is carried by Wednesday, it also lacks lot of stuff, yet it's still interesting to watch and has captured lot of fans.
So you can defintiely watch it.
I hope they improve the writing on Season 2. | 7 |
Movies like this are the ones which makes people think about their wrongdoings and their patriotiosm towards country . | 10 |
This movie is quite a masterpiece in every scope and element possible. It is the best movie I've ever seen. It is true cinema. The last movie i ever saw compared to this high quality film is Scooby Doo 1 from the 2000's, which was the best film of that era, right next to Fight Club. The time when Ryan Gosling said, "I'm Just Ken" and Michael Cera just stood there, the audience cheered and my 25 year old Vogue supermodel girlfriend broke out in tears; it was marvelous. This movie is amazing by making me feel like a girlbosser, and it truly made one Barbillion dollars in the box office.
I give this movie 10 Barbies out of Ken. Magnificent film. | 9 |
The show is not terrible, well a little terrible. Had this show not been under the Addams Family banner, it might have just been another Netflix series, an okay watch. My problem is that they and when I say they I mean Tim Burton, took some iconic characters and distorted them into rather dull and dreary nobodies. Not the first time he has done so, turning the charismatic Willy Wonka into a sinister creep. I have no problem with the casting, but where is the charisma, the joy, the wicked sense of humour that the Addams Family are known for. They revel in the macabre the absurd, I am sure that Morticia and Gomez probably would have chuckled at Wednesday's antics, not sent her to boarding school. The show is way too serious, it went from kooky to emo. I am not saying don't watch the show, you may like it, it has some really good elements, but it is not the Addams. | 3 |
American Fiction is a very satire but very clever movie. It's very well written and unique, I really loved two scenes in particular which is the starting scene in the class and the ending scene where the ending to a move script is being told and shown to us. The film talks on a lot of issues that are very well put across and dealt with. Jeffrey Wright is brilliant at playing his character or "characters" in the movie. It's pretty funny too with a few dark humour jokes and a few satirical scenes which help elevate the story they are trying to tell. A very enjoyable watch and I'm glad I decided to go watch it before it goes off screens. | 8 |
If you haven't read the comic, I can wholeheartedly recommend this to you. Thanks to the novelty of the source material and the right dose of trademark gore and violence it overcomes the already all too obvious weaknesses in it's narrative stucture. Great production values and acting really help at that front.
But.
You can already see them scurrying back to the original material whenever they realize that their own little ideas completely fail to get them anywhere. This may save viewers from more police-academyesque humour and having certain characters save seafood because the actor looks really good in his costume, which would be a good thing.
But since they have no real grip on the material they are throwing out the suprises and twists and turns as if they had an infinite amount of them. By the way: They almost do. But there's already so much of the underlying secrets and backgrounds spoiled and wasted that I would need far more confidence in the writers than I was able to build up when it comes to the next seasons.
They also don't know how to work on those small moments. An example: Having the female being beautiful and girlish for just one second would leave so much more of an impression if it had been a season of her usual getup, not something like 30 minutes of screentime. Once again: With this source material they don't have to be too careful about saving moments like that one.
But they have already written themselves into several corners and will need a far stronger vision on their own if the good first impression is supposed to last longer than one season. | 8 |
