Captain America civil war was good not great i loved the characters and how they brought in the new one, the air port scene was fantastic but the fight between Iron man captain America and barns was epic, the only things i didn't like was how vision hardly used any of his powers during the movie, unlike age of ultron there wasn't as much action as i would have liked in this movie,and this movie was supposed to a little emotional but i didn't see any emotional spots during the movie,and the boss Baron Zemo was very weak i didn't care for him at all the only other thing that bugged me is that the only time you see antman and spiderman is only when there at the airport, i kinda wish they had a bigger part in the movie, | 7 |
Hollywood are incapable of conjuring up any form of cinematic experience without feeling the need to throw in their contemporary political ideologies, smack dab from the getgo.
It's really sad. Though I'm glad i could press Stop without having wasted any money on it. Hope you get better soon America.
Now, if you'll all excuse me, i'll be over at Bollywood's stuff. | 3 |
Mystery is why is the movie so bad? Just slow, unbelievabley stupid story line. Two of my favorite actors for funny movies both were just dreadful. This was horrible | 1 |
Warning: do not watch this movie if you know /anything/ about proper emergency procedures. It'll annoy you. The action is good, the banter is good, the characters are pretty stock, but for stock characters they're pretty good. You'll enjoy it. But suspension of disbelief is the key to enjoying any of this kind of movie, and the physics violations made that difficult... and the procedures (basic, basic, BASIC) procedures violations made that difficult. And, well, I got about 1/3 of the way through and realized they were making suspension of disbelief difficult UNNECESSARILY. No, they didn't have to do "that". It didn't contribute in any way to the movie. But there it is. And again...
Sigh.
It's decent. It isn't good. I wish it was good. | 6 |
Season 2 sucks,,,all actors sucks, script sucks, a farce as compared to first | 5 |
Parasite starts out with a rather familiar gritty arthouse vibe. Some humor is sprinkled in as Ki-woo (Choi Woo-Shik) scans the ceiling and windows for some unprotected (or underprotected) wi-fi to steal as the unemployed family can't afford phone service and they need it to find work. Their partially underground dwelling is susceptible to various indignities from drunken pee and bug killing gasses to flood. When they do get a gig assembling pizza boxes, they can't seem to get it right for some reason. Their luck changes when Ki-woo's friend Min (Seo-joon Park) passes his tutoring job on to him. I little fib and a lot of confidence, and the money starts flowing in to the Kim family. But then he sees an in for his sister Ki-jung (So-dam Park). I suppose simply introducing her as his sister who is legitimately good at art might not have worked, so they go for a much bigger lie and paycheck. Greed is kicking in with head spinning intensity. Before long the family is doing things so atrocious, I started borderline hating the film. Because its protagonists are so unjustifiably vile. To be sure, I loved the parasite allegory. One gets in, starts multiplying, eventually severely damaging or destroying the host. That last part I was dreading the most. Yes, I was also dreading what will happen once the scam is discovered. But I felt really bad for the mother (Yeo-jeong Cho) who inadvertently brought the infestation into her home. She was just trying to do what any mother would - what's best for her kids. Her only fault - she wasn't too bright. Of course, I could have never anticipated the crazy plot twist that unraveled it all. But as the story rolled towards the end in a gut wrenching tangle of victims and perpetrators, the "host" family was treated as if their suffering were at best unimportant, at worst - funny. And they are the ones who did nothing wrong. Except for being rich - I suppose that automatically makes them villains. It was really bothering me. But that wasn't the only problem I had with the film. It didn't make sense to me how the Kims could come up with and perfectly execute an elaborate scheme, when they couldn't even assemble pizza boxes right. And if they are this smart, how is it possible that even the two young ones can't get work? Is Korean economy that bad? Another problem was that interesting things were introduced, but dropped without explanation. Like we never found out why the old housekeeper looked like she had been mugged. Or what Ki-woo was planning to do with the lucky stone. And that wonderful allegory that existed so naturally in the first half of the movie? Not completely gone in the second, but you have to look for it. | 6 |
He actor voices were bad. The emotion wasn't there. The important key dramatic moments were not dramatized. And then musical, it's like you wanted more but you didn't get more. It was bleh. Only funny parts were Timon and Pumba. | 4 |
I just keep watching it over and over again, its never enough, its the main reason I decided to watch all MCU movies.
This movie hardly calms down, it puts you in a series of great action and fighting scenes from the beginning with fantastic effects that keeps you entertained, it combines a group of likable actors in a beautiful and exciting environment, story wise, I think it totally makes sense, it gives very convincing reasons for conflicts.
Hats off Marvel, Please make a dozen of movies like this and I will happily enjoy watching them. | 10 |
In this lockdown, when you are not able to go out, "Extraction" gives you enough reasons to sit for two hours on your comfortable couch. It is a well-hyped and much awaited movie and in the current scenario, when hardly any new movie is being released, this will surely draw a great number of views for sure.
When you start watching this movie, do not expect a masterpiece and it will become easier for you to enjoy the journey. Not a very complicated story, good performances and some amazing action sequences will ensure that you are thoroughly engaged.
A lot of Hindi and Bengali have been used in the movie. As I am familiar with both the languages, it turned out alright for me but I am not sure about the experiences of those who don't understand either of the languages. But hearing Thor: The god of thunder, saying 'Promaan deyo' is surely going to be a treat for all the Bengalis out there.
Extraction - Netflix Chris Hemsworth carried the entire movie on his shoulders and being the executive producer of the movie he had very little scope to go wrong and to that point, he hardly disappoints you throughout the movie. Between both his falls (his first scene and the last scene), he has given a power packed performance.
The kidnapped kid (Rudraksh Jaiswal) shared many scenes with Chris and he successfully managed to stand tall throughout the movie. But the movie does leave you wishing Randeep Huda's character was a bit better defined. Half of the time you will not be able to decide whether to root for him or not. Moreover, it was a sheer waste to give Pankaj Tripathi such less screen time. It would have been much better to cast him as the Bangladeshi drug lord. He would have made the extraction far more difficult than it seemed at the end.The kidnapped kid (Rudraksh Jaiswal) shared many scenes with Chris and he successfully managed to stand tall throughout the movie.

Sure, the movie does have its flaws but not so much that you start complaining against it. In fact, you should be grateful that in these difficult times it gives you a chance at a good time while you are locked inside your houses.
A good effort at extraction, isn't it? | 6 |
I thought the Witcher is about a monster, demon, witch slayer etc... The first season brilliant and it was exactly that, second season was ok definitely not the same quality, however season 3, it looks like a latin telenovela that my grandma would see. They are more focused on showing a romance plot that actually develop de story, in the first 5 episodes nothing is going on, literally nothing. One again the magic of netflix, everything that their executives touches become pure rubbish. It's evident that they believe once a franchise takes off it will be rock solid and they don't need to put any effort and lay down. Also it's ok to keep pushing for good writing and stop founding and being exigent to this department. Well that's why netflix is losing clientel. | 6 |
(0 stars preferably)
I must be the only one who HATED this movie. I know that most of you really love it, but I don't. I just don't see the point. It's just some idiot (nothing against mentally disabled people, but he's an idiot) sitting there telling his stupid story. However, NOTHING HAPPENS! He talks about all of these things that happened to him, but it doesn't matter. Would he be any different if these things didn't happen to him? No. Does any of it affect the plot of the movie? No. Does it matter that he happened to be in certain places at certain times? No, not unless you count that they got to show off the technology to splice him in with historical footage. Also, how exactly is it believable? He walked across the entire country. Right... He invented the smiley face. Right... He did a bunch of other stupid stuff that I have forced out of my mind because I HATE THIS MOVIE. Right... I just don't buy it. I can't. I wont. Neither should you. Nothing even happens until the very end of the movie. "But," you say, "the ending wont mean anything if you didn't see the rest of the movie. That's what the movie's about." No. It's not. The movie's about nothing. The end is pointless, as is the rest of the movie. It's not funny. It's not magical. It's not believable. It's not realistic. IT'S NOT GOOD!
If I never hear another "Life is like a box of chocolates" or "Run, Forrest, Run" or see a Bubba-Gump Shrimp place, it will be too soon. | 1 |
WandaVision is a love letter to situational comedies, while also passing of as a mystery series. The show personally shines when it blends the sitcom angle with the mystery, and personally doesn't work with the consent changing out of the sitcom setting with a motley crew of agents. It is a greatly crafted series when it chooses to be a sitcom, not a mystery. It was nice seeing recreations of situational comedies formats and being able to see them evolve. I was hoping this would be a return to form for sitcoms, however I was left with a cute charming series about Wanda and Vision's relationship. Elizbeth Olsen and Paul Bettany performances truly capture the magic of the era, and is worth watching for that alone. Regardless of what I say. Go have a watch. It's an experience best without spoilers. | 8 |
This first episode felt like the first half hour of a great action film. A lot of setup, some good action sequences, and a promising premise. Unfortunately we don't get the full length film here obviously. The episode does a good job at convincing us that Sam is a worthy character. So far in the MCU he hasn't been developed at all, but in this first episode we are starting to see some life in the character. The episode also doesn't forget about Bucky, which was my favorite part of episode one. His character seems to be the 1B protagonist, which is fine because he's always been that way. I like where the series is going, and I can't wait to see more. | 7 |
I grew up on the original Lost in Space series and then I saw the re-boot movie with William Hurt. The current generation may not know anything about what the original series or re-make movie was about. The movie stayed true to overall theme of original series.
This Netflix series doesn't. I could not bear to watch the first episode after 35 minutes. They put a token non-white person in the cast. They have horrible acting. They have a bad story. It was a struggle to get to 35 minutes in the first episode. It was also predictable. "Every 5-10 minutes create a problem" to keep the viewers attention. It was so obvious the writers were just being formulaic.
In addition, the lack of realism was similar to that of an old 1960's series. Characters are in the middle of an ice planet and they don't wear head gear? Having someone cut open a leg for the first time with a scalpel for compartment syndrome? I have medical friends, and even an emergency physician wouldn't do this.
Other reviewers pegged this correctly. Bad acting. Bad story. Only those who have not seen good shows like Badlands or Daredevil or Stranger Things can say good things about Lost in Space. Don't waste your time. | 1 |
Moon Knight is the latest Marvel Show with a protagonist who suffers from Multiple Personality disorder & works as the Avatar of Egyptian Moon God Khonshu. This show brought a refreshing change of flavor, focusing on Egyptian Mythology & Mental illness. Oscar Isaac is fantastic as Steven Grant/Mark Spector, showcasing both personalities effortlessly. Ethan Hawke, being the great actor he is, is really compelling as the villain. The different landscapes are shot gorgeously & the score is a standout with its modern Egyptian influence. The last three episodes are especially good with the story picking up pace, the emotional core of the story being revealed & the action getting improved. But there are still glaring issues mainly The Direction, Screenplay & Editing. The first three episodes are really boring to watch, dialogues are generic throughout, scenes end very awkwardly & the plot choices are confusing. The CGI & action sequences are also bad in a lot of places. Overall a pretty average experience, only memorable for Oscar's performance. | 7 |
Barely anything makes sense it is totally over rated. There is no point in watching this show it is an american propaganda against russians. Why russians where did they came from. Why are they there. It caould be anybody included teddy bears. No explanation for anything. Congrats you just filmed one of the worst tv shows there ever was. | 1 |
"777 Charlie" is an exceptional Kannada film that beautifully portrays the transformative journey of a dog named Charlie. Directed by Kiranraj K., the movie masterfully weaves together individual stories that revolve around Charlie, showcasing the profound impact he has on people's lives. Rakshit Shetty's portrayal of Dharma, the lead character, is remarkable, capturing the evolution from a troubled man to one inspired by Charlie's companionship. The film's music by Ajaneesh B. Loknath adds emotional depth, while Aravind Kashyap's cinematography beautifully captures every moment.
With universal themes of love, growth, and unexpected connections, "777 Charlie" resonates deeply. The deliberate pacing allows for genuine emotional investment, leaving a lasting impression. In a world filled with flashy entertainment, the film's authentic storytelling stands out. It prompts reflection on the significance of empathy and relationships. "777 Charlie" is a heartwarming and thought-provoking cinematic experience that celebrates the power of storytelling and companionship. Kiranraj's direction, coupled with stellar performances and technical brilliance, makes it a true gem that touches the heart and soul. | 10 |
I enjoyed this film, but not as much as I was hoping I would.
There were a number of things which took place that absolutely would not have happened during WWI, or any war for that matter.
The acting is superb, and the dialogue is well written.
The cinematography is amazing, and the visually are stunning.
It is slow paced, but not in a terrible way, yet also not in a great way either.
It's right in the middle.
I recommend seeing this movie and deciding for yourself. | 6 |
This is certainly worth watching and provides cheap entertainment. However, mysteries are only really fun if the audience has a chance to play along and real clues are discernible either upon first glance or in hindsight. This show does not even attempt to provide this aspect as most things Sherlock picks up on are impossible to see from what is being presented to the audience. | 7 |
Ah, Judd Apatow and his band of hilarious misfits. FSM features the lowest amount of Apatow regular cast members (3, I believe) of all those movies, but is no less funny than the likes of Knocked Up and Walk Hard. What you have with FSM and all the other Apatow joints is a constant theme of vulgar yet lovable humor, and a beautiful underlying romance. These themes are consistent in The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Walk Hard, and to an extent, Anchorman. What is truly great about all these films is that they bring a different thing to the table each time. They are NOT carbon copies of each other, which is absolutely excellent.
The plot of FSM, as with the other Apatow movies, is straightforward, but evolves as the movie goes on: Peter (Jason Segel) is broken up with by his beautiful TV star girlfriend Sarah (Kristen Bell), and decides to take a vacation away from Los Angeles to get his mind off Sarah...of course, who should be vacationing at the same place as him but Sarah herself?
One thing that is very important to remember is that though we call these movies "Apatow" movies, more often than not, Judd Apatow does not write or direct the movie. This is true with Superbad, Anchorman, Walk Hard (he wrote, not directed it), and this film. The lead actor Jason Segel is behind the script, and it proves to be among the best of the bunch. The dialog is witty, sharp, vulgar, and just plain irresistible. Segel's ability to charm the audience is also no less prevalent. He's a lovable leading man, and I would love to see him do this again. The audience is going to love Peter all throughout the film, and Segel gives far and away the best show of his career, out doing his work in Knocked Up and How I Met Your Mother. The other Apatow cronies that show up in FSM are Jonah Hill (who seems to be in pretty much every single one of them) and Paul Rudd. One could consider supporting performer Bill Hader a member of the group, and if you include him and his great performance as Peter's brother, you get 4. The film also features cameos from William Baldwin and Jason Bateman.
The main supporting cast, always integral to the plot, is great. First you have Sarah Marshall, played by Kristen Bell. Bell, despite playing one of the most unlikable characters of recent memory, managed to make me feel for Sarah at some points, without completely stealing attention from Segel and the actual love interest of the film. Good job by the TV veteran Bell. You've also got British comedian Russell Brand nearly stealing the show as well as he steals Sarah from Peter in the film. He's one of the best parts of the movie and couldn't have been funnier. He also holds one of the funniest lines in the film, opposite Jonah Hill. Lastly, but surely not not least, is another TV star, Mila Kunis. Famous for her roles as Jackie on That 70's Show and Meg Griffin of Family Guy, Kunis creates yet another memorable character, Rachel Jansen, that is tailored perfectly to her talents. I absolutely LOVED her character. She brought out the best in Peter and the chemistry between her and Segel is wonderful.
I'd say that this would have to be the cleanest and least vulgar of the Apatow 'R' rated comedies as far as dialog goes...however, the now infamous nude scenes of Jason Segel hold nothing back. Director Nicholas Stoller does a great job of using Segel's manhood to his advantage (wow, that sounds wrong). I wonder how awkward the cast and crew felt around Segel when those scenes were being shot. I really loved this movie, though it sort of falters towards the end, but the ending more than makes up for it (it's absolutely adorable).
FSM is yet another winning Apatow movie that is lovable, vulgar, and absolutely adorable. Jason Segel gives one of the better comedic performances of recent memory in a movie that should be a bright spot on his career and on the careers of everyone involved. I really think you should see this film if you get the chance. | 9 |
Robert Sheehan as Klaus for me is the best thing about this show. Overall it got better as it went on. Looking forward to a new season. | 8 |
I really loved this show. The feel of the show took me back to growing up in the 80s, listening to radio whodunnits. Fun, quirky, silly, playful, not always pc, beautiful music that was arranged perfectly. The writing, the sets, the acting, the story, the journey, were all well done and I was happy to see Steve Martin again in this great show. People seem to love it or hate it and I was one that loved it for so many reasons. It didn't take itself too seriously and that's what I prefer to spend my time watching. | 10 |
You never get to a point where you feel movie is going at a normal direction or normal pace. | 2 |
Storyline : it's quite cool at first glance but it has slow pace so it's get kinda boring in the end. I did not watch this movie till the end cause this slow pace
Effect : it's quite cool | 2 |
1 Season: Stranger Things is a series that appears a little unnoticed and out of nowhere has won a legion of fans, being a series with several references to the classic films of the 80s made many people fall in love, the series surprised me a lot, it has only 8 episodes and passes very fast they, in 1 day already to marathon the whole series, the cast was very well chosen, the narrative has some problems and sometimes tries to reference too much, is a series technically very well made, the references are cool, even though I think that sometimes they pass the point, and the final episode is for me the best of the series, closed very well the first season and made room for a continuation that will reach this month October, Stranger Things can be fun , mysterious and also a homage to the 80's, The Goonies for example is a great source of inspiration for Stranger Things, it's worth a lot, I hope the second season has the same quality or that it is better coming .

Well i fall in love with this movie i am of 16 anf i was of 2 at that time that song "yeh ishq hai" is heart loving song that i watched last night at 2 am doing nothing and i fall in love with its classic indian style, nowadays even a small album also does not have that classicity even though they have small budget, this movie will take you in past with its originality i would suggest to watch this movie although if you are here for just story then this will waste your time but if you are here for its old bollywood movie which doesn't contain any nudity and curse words then this would made your day
BTW most of the review are of Non indian people. | 10 |
It was just a mess! This movie is not even a comedy. It contains very weird humour. I felt very disappointed when the movie ended... It looks more like a video clip than a movie. The only thing I liked was the effects and the direction. However it' s not enough to make a nice film! The story was worse than a kids cartoon... The writer wanted to make a movie about feminism but he did not make it in the end. If he had written a more interesting story it would be different. Also, if I had watched this movie at the cinema I am sure that I had left at the break. Anyway it is just a very bad movie with unfunny jokes. It is so overrated an much discussed, however I believe the opposite! | 2 |
Say you hate somebody who knows a bit about films, well, not that much. Buy him/her a ticket. You will never be forgiven . There is one thing that called my attention, PLOT DISPENSABILITY, no efforts were made in the making of this film to make any sense at all. This movie is a mere exercise of "keanu kills them all, everybody but keanu dies". There is some experimental value regarding film appreciation. DF has done a good job, the atmosphere in general makes the image appealing to watch. There are, at least, 10 things that don't make any sense; so it makes you wonder... Is the director challenging traditional film conventions? guess not. | 4 |
WOW, this movie was so funny and well acted. It was so well written and honestly quite entertaining. I read many great comments about this movie and didn't get the time to watch it when it first came out, so one day I was just bored and decided to watch it on my CPU..it was great! I think that 3/4 of the people here who write negative comments on this movie either (A) have no sense of humor and then i completely understand, or (B) just don't like the actors in this movie. There are so many funny moments/scenes in this movie, and the characters are developed well and the jokes are target-on. It was funny because all of the F-bombs Seth (Johna Hill) was spilling out, same with Evans and Fogell aka McLoving. McLoving sold this sh*t hard, he was hilarious and big-ups to the officer (Seth Rogen)
This movie overall honestly explained a very typical time in high school whether it be your senior year or sophomore year. It is all about proving yourself to other in an attempt to either get laid or just fit in. Hands down one of the funniest movies of that year. As a rewatch 07/20/18' and multiple years later, Superbad remains a great and hilarious time watching comedy. Filled with many subtle jokes and clever gags that did not noticed on initial watch, the film has seemed to age well. | 10 |
Puh where should I start, I gave the series a 5 from 10 stars, I normally love watching science-fiction series, but this series was a bit off and weird I think. I was actually searching for a good serious adult science-fiction series and then it turned out that this series is more for kids or teenagers than for adults. There is way too much family drama in this show which turned me off after a while. The actors are fine I think but the story is just meh and a bit too childish, I mean it is not a bad thing it is just that it isn't something for me.
But one positive thing about this series are the special effects and the cgi, I have to say that this was really well done, everything looked pretty good and it didn't look like a cheap series at all compared to a lot of other science-fiction series out there. | 5 |
Yet another film among countless others that is a stunning piece of art in just about every technical category... yet leaves you feeling like crap after watching.
For this reason, I don't bother to say anything and just give it a solid 1 out of 10. I didn't enjoy this film, it didn't make me feel good and I never want to watch it again. I suggest you don't watch it either, unless you wanna feel miserable. | 1 |
I have to be honest, if I had to stand in front of a crowd of people and explain the plot of Loki season 2 in a clear and concise manner, I am not not sure I could do it. In fact, I am certain I couldn't.
There is something about timelines. There is something about another Loki although I don't know what happened to Richard E Grant Loki or crocodile Loki. And now we have a talking clock.
Tom Hiddleston is fantastic as the titular character but then he has had many years to build on the nuance of the character. Everyone else is somewhat of a dud.
This season is big on talk and low on action compared with the previous season. | 3 |
It was boring thats really all i can say. I m not a big Spider-man fan but i enjoy watching this kind of movies. I watched all spider man films and i can really say that this was the worst one.
I don't even know why people liked it.
And i don t even know how many times i have looked at my phone scrolled down on instagram while watching.
All the events were developing so fast and the reasons that starting them were making absolutely nosense.
Lastly i think Doctor Strange was a full of dissapointment and they could have done the last fight better.
If you are not a big fan i do not recommend giving 2.30 hour to this thing from ur life. | 2 |
There's no doubting that this is a well made series. Well cast, acted, directed and the era is captured well. The main character's story arc is a well worn one, a take on the hero's journey (complete with a magical black character). So there's nothing truly new here. We all know what will happen and what the outcome will be. Still, it was fun to watch and worth the time. | 6 |
I'm a fan of the fantasy genre. So I started watching this one. After one and a half episode I already gave up. The story makes no sense. The characters were flat and didn't make sense. The context (costumes and fantasy world) were all right (not even great). Three stars. | 3 |
Siri find the witcher and after 2 episodes he will lose her again and here you go the journey to find siri star again and again and again that's what is going on since s1 ofc bad writing very basic casting exapt for henry Boringgggggggg. Very very overrated although it could been better. I also didn't like some action in the script such a waste for a very good filming For the story it's very basic magic creatures fight against humans it's could been better my hopes for s4 are low i maybe won't watch it and that's my very humble opinion Netflix please try to fix it it's not a bad series after all. | 6 |
I cant believe that people are drooling over this movie. Its good, very well presented but 8/10 Seriously ? I guess people watch too much junk these days to feel amazed at average stuff. Lets talk the technicals first. Brilliant photography. Even better editing. IF this movie stands out, it is because of its editing. Art direction impressive. Individual performances are as good as these actors are. Now the real stuff. Daniel Craig's attempt to imitate Alabama born french is brutal. Eww. Tries too hard. Ana de Armas has only one expression, that of being dumb. How did she bag this movie ? Chris Evans is not convincing in this role either. Now about the story, there is one, but there is no twist in the story. There is nothing that we havent seen before. How did RT gave it 97% ? Because all you need to do is talk political correctness. I kept expecting there would be a twist, near at the end, almost in the last scene. But no, there was only disappointment, no treat. Better watch oceans' 11,12,13 again. | 5 |
The first season is fascinating. Great story, great characters, great acting. Matt's character is complex and inspiring, while his antagonist, Wilson Fisk, is beyond brilliant.
The downsides are:
1) the acting of the Karen Paige character, whom takes up a big chunk of space in the show and adds absolutely nothing.
2) the extensive side-stories, all meaningless story-lines that add nothing to the main story.
3) the fights ... beyond ridiculous!!!! One doesn't need to be a martial artist to understand that the back-flips are retarded.
The second season is mediocre at best. Just a bunch of ninja fights within the plot of a Blue Sky thing which is of overpowering importance yet barely explained at all. | 7 |
Comedy is good, the story is very interesting, The One punch man character is really unique; actually I thought that there is no way to write a story about a super super power hero who ends every battel with one punch!! ridiculous isn't it? but they made it, and with brilliant drawing which I think it's the best thing in this anime; so much respect; finally the end left me with a main question, what is the secret of the one punch! | 8 |
I enjoyed this film very much even if I didn't learn anything new - because I'm old enough. But I would love it if I gad some movie like this to watch during my teenage days.
Direction was impeccable, cast amazingly well chosen, scenography immaculate, as well as makeup and costume. Storytelling was absolutely superb.
Serious issues were told in a very innovative manner and philosophically it is highly important film because of all the antagonisms. It doesn't offer a solution, and with an excellent reason - the answers are in each of us.
Absolutely brilliant work and I would watch it again many times. (In contrast to Oppenheimer which was biggest bore of all the time)
This comes from a person who never liked playing with Barbie(s). | 8 |
Season 1: Sacred Games is a Indian TV show centering around a gangster, religious riots and an incorruptible policeman.
This is one-of-a-kind and the probably the first of its kind. Never has a TV show to the likes of Sacred Games produced in India.
This gritty and dark show is successfully carried by its talented cast. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has proved himself yet again. Any praise for him would be an understatement. It was a pleasure to see Saif Ali Khan in a different role.
All in all, it's a must watch! | 8 |
Weak story. Main actors are ok. But the usual multicultural supporting actors have been picked to make up the quota, not for their acting ability. | 2 |
"Ant-Man" (2015), all right, let's just get this review over with. At this point, you're probably guessing that I'm not a fan of this "movie". You would be right! I'm not a fan of the comic book character it's based off of at all. I always thought that the character and comic stories were dumb and pointless. This live-action "film" just does the exact same thing that the comics do, except that it's in the real world, no difference whatsoever. "Ant-Man" has a boring and clichéd storyline, standard to terrible acting, and an uninspired generic soundtrack to try and tie this diarrhea dump together. The plot is, a burglar named Scott Lang is armed with a special and unique super-suit with the ability to shrink in scale, while at the same time increasing strength. From there, he learns how to use his new suit to stop an evil scheme and save the world. I thought to myself: "that sounds interesting, if they can add something new to this common plot thread, then maybe it could work!" Nope, it just turns out to be the exact same clichéd superhero origin story we've seen a million times before. The only difference, is that it's with different characters, yet it follows the exact same premise. On top of that, the humor in this "movie" is nothing short of cringe-inducing, especially from Paul Rudd as Scott Lang. We'll get into more details about him in a minute. "Ant-Man" is regarded as one of the funnier films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I didn't laugh, or even smile once. Not one time! I just rolled my eyes, and waited for something of significance to happen. That's another issue with most Marvel movies, they go way overboard with their comedic moments. This "film" is one of the worst ones in that regard. Whenever there's supposed to be a serious, or exciting scene, a stupid joke pops up and takes you out of the moment. I'm all for comedy in movies and TV shows, but this is ridiculous. All of the jokes and humor in this "film" is so bad, that it's almost at the level of "Batman & Robin" (1997). That's how annoying it is! The sad thing is, this "movie" did have potential. Unfortunately, it was all wasted and left me with nothing but disappointment! Another huge mistake, is that in the comics, Hank Pym is Ant-Man, not Scott Lang. That's about as big of a mistake as Tony Stark creating Ultron in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" (2015)! The only somewhat interesting thing in "Ant-Man", is the fact that there's a suit with shrinking technology, that is kind of cool. Yet, they somehow made that idea boring. How is that possible? Even though this "movie" is less than two hours, it feels like an eternity! As for the acting, it's just as terrible as the storyline. The worst performance, by far, comes from Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man. He is just an embarrassment in this "film". Need I mention that he also took part in crafting the script? That explains a lot about his performance here, doesn't it? Now granted, I'm sure he's a nice person off-camera. Plus, he has acted well in other movies, and he was kind of funny. What happened to him here? All of the acting sucks to say the least! The only ones who seem to be trying, are: Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, and Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne. They are the only ones who are putting any effort forth with their acting. Everyone else just crashes and burns! Another thing, is that none of the cast members can keep a straight face when they say, "Ant-Man". Wow, that's embracing their main character with pride. You know a story is dumb when the cast can't even pronounce the main character's name seriously! As far as the soundtrack goes, it's about as generic as you can get. That's kind of a shock, because the film score was written and composed by Christophe Beck. I was surprised by that, because he has written a lot of great music for other movies! What happened to him in this "film"? Any way, let's move on to the only two good elements in this piece of crap. The only good things are the sets/locations and the special effects. All of the sets/locations are great and give this "film" a decent atmosphere. You can't go wrong with filming your movie in San Francisco! As far as the special effects go, they are well-done and still hold up today. Which is no surprise, being made in 2015! The effects where Ant-Man shrinks, and also when he goes subatomic are definitely the standout effects in this "movie". Those effects were astonishing to look at! It's just a shame they amounted to nothing. "Ant-Man" is yet another embarrassing waste of a superhero film. Is it the worst superhero movie that I've ever seen? No, not by a long shot. But, it's still, by my high standards, a terrible movie. I'm struggling to give this "film" 2 out of 5 stars on my personal scale, which equates to 4 out of 10 IMDB stars. Unless you're a fan of the comic books, or the character Ant-Man, avoid this "movie" at all costs. I'm not even going to bother with the pointless sequels! Like I said, any amount of redemption in this "film" is nothing but the size of an ant. | 4 |
The Godfather: Part II is the continuation of The Godfather, which would continue the story of Michael Corleone, we see in the film a Robert de Niro new at the beginning of his career still, with a great performance, photography is still very good, the soundtrack is The Godfather: Part II of the first level, but unfortunately the Godfather trilogy. The Godfather: Part II of the first level, but unfortunately the Godfather trilogy. I've never been so surprised, I still think of films like Topfaces and Scarface, but it's only a matter of opinion, since The Godfather: Part II is a very award-winning film and acclaimed by the public and criticizes, and its quality is really great, and will always be a reference to Future films. Note 8.7 | 8 |
A great action movie, delivers on the action as promised in the trailer. Shot amazingly and worth a watch definitely | 7 |
I watched season 1 and 2 10 times for Hannah ,but this new girl ani sucks ...and season 3 got too low but at season 4 introducing last Hannah once and hannah Ridgeway friend is nice ,,for 13 reasons why we will remember only Hannah name only | 9 |
I am unhappy that I wasted 6 bucks to rent this. I did not even make it half way and was fighting to stay awake. I love the Happy Potter series - read all the books and say all the movies in theaters. I still rematch the movies when they are on TV. This is beyond disappointing. It has absolutely no redeeming factors - except perhaps that I did not waste even more money at the theater. I will never read or watch anything again by this author. This is trash. | 1 |
I continuously laughed and cried the whole movie. The acting is impeccable. There are so many small details and visual gags that I'm sure there were things I missed because I was laughing so much. It's clear the writers are intimately familiar with doll play, and how Barbies are actually used by children.
Special shout-out to America Ferrara in this respect. Obviously Robbie and Gosling are amazing, but Ferrera brings the "human woman" perspective with enthusiasm and warmth. Her delivery for certain monologues is achingly relatable, and acknowledges issues facing both women and Barbie in a way that validates what women may or may not feel without judgement, just camaraderie.
The movie is self aware, the auteur lens making it feel like you're watching alongside someone. I cannot imagine watching the movie and feeling alone- Greta gerwig has brought you into the fold, acknowledging your role as audience but also as witness.
This is most apparent in the scenes of the movie that other reviewers have deemed feminist. The whole point of Barbie (the movie and the doll's origins) are to make women feel seen, feel valued and to show that you can be you without collecting things to validate your identity.
I absolutely loved every minute of this film and I am so happy that it was made. Thank you to everyone involved in this project, you truly created movie magic.
I am unsurprised that there are negative reviews for this movie, as some people do not enjoy looking at the truth head on. Suspend any need for Complacent Barbie, and embrace the wonderful magic of this movie.
(barely a spoiler) the second to the last scene of Barbie made me feel the way I did when watching Lovecraft Country, episode 7 (titled "I am.") if you need a dose of that energy before you can see the movie again, I absolutely recommend it. No need to watch the whole series if it's not your bag. | 10 |
I really don't get it. Why the story has to get so boring at the end. The weakest point is storyline. Perfect special effects. | 5 |
I knew from the crew of this movies credits that it was going too be funny. But this was a very unexpected surprise. I have enjoyed all of Jason Segel's performances too date, and really enjoy his character on the show how i met your mother. I did not know how ever , until after seeing this film, that he wrote the screen play. I am very impressed! his endearing charecture of a heart broken 20 something is exactly on. And Mila Kunis, wow! Any red blooded man would fall in love with her down too earth , beautiful character. This is up there with the romantic comedies of legend , even if thats wouldn't suit the makers too describe it that way. The hillar5ious awkwardness, the lovable characters, and the amazing setting make for a classic! | 10 |
This is one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I've watched it twice. It's an amazing thrill ride. Jack is a compelling character and is a supreme badass. It is the ultimate binge watch and a must watch series. | 9 |
Acting, cinematography, costumes, set were all very well done. The plot was just completely missing. It's a beautiful movie but if you showed up 90 minutes late you would quite literally miss 0 plot elements. You can eliminate entire 45 minute sections and whole characters and the movie wouldn't be any different. | 3 |
The plot is dead simple for the length of the movie. The result is a boring movie where almost nothing exciting happens, or just takes to much time to happen. Also, every single dialogue is full of clichés, the writing is bad, the actors were bad, the CGI is painful to watch and, in general, is very unrealistic. | 4 |
The first "Annabelle" movie wasn't good, but it wasn't that bad either.
The second was an improvement, being creepier, but it left me feeling that there wasn't anything else to say in the story of the doll Annabelle.
This sequel proved these impressions right, by adding anything absolutely anything new, and instead it keeps rehashing the same jumpscares from the previous two films in the dullest, most unimaginative way.
These "Conjuring" spin-offs have become completely redundant by this point. This is a complete soulless cash grab with very little entertainment value. | 1 |
A predictable story, same "gags" as the first one that it becomes almost like a rerun of the first movie. A true manual on how not to do a sequel and a profound disappointment.
Still cannot believe Tom Cruise did this. The only reason I can think of is the opportunity to fly himself some fighter jets that he likes so much. Of course the money is not an issue for Mr. Cruise so I cannot think of a better reason.
The first movie was terrible but acceptable by the time standards as a romantic story. But this sequel don't have a place on today's standard's.
A true disappointment since I was betting on this film. My mistake. | 3 |
THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT is a show I wanted to like a lot more than I eventually did. It sounded and looked great from the trailers: a feminist story on chess, and that recent Bobby Fischer movie with Tobey Maguire was pretty good. Indeed, the first couple of set-up episodes are really nicely handled, with good nuance and character work. But then...it just sort of falls apart a bit. The show is oddly inert, focused solely on chess tournaments and the protagonist's addiction issues, and there's little of politics either on an individual or national scale, even when the Russians are involved. Taylor-Joy is good but her character is extraordinarily limited and repetitive. The chess scenes are whizzed over, which is a shame, and there's never really much plot development after the first couple of episodes. I think the main problem, as with a lot of things, is that the same guy wrote and directed every episode. How about involving others, maybe even a few women, you know? | 6 |
Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson's acting is still the best in the entire film. That was it already. Too many logic errors, a story told too carelessly. Director Andy Serkis proves again that he is a much better actor (Gollum) than as a director. The blae opponent doesn't give much and remains empty. The good effects don't help either. A Marvel disaster. | 6 |
The scenery in India was amazing. I've never seen anything like it before, in the context of an action movie. Otherwise, this was a 1-star movie. One thing that's clear from watching Tom Cruise movies in recent years is that he must be requiring them to write him as the savior of the world. You see it in the sci fi flicks as well. | 6 |
The first season was a lot better! The second one is just not as good sadly. A decent amount of fluff accompanied by some scenes that are a bit of a snooze. Good acting and well made otherwise. Wish it was better, love a good vamp/witch anything. | 5 |
I didn't see any advertisements for this film and just luckily stumbled upon it when searching through films expected in 2024 and I am so glad that I did! This film is a perfect mix of comedy and stupidity that so accurately reflects the current societal relationship with race. I found myself cringing at some of the "progressive" characters while also seeing parts of them in myself and family members. It was a great film that really made you think but also didn't patronise you by telling you what the right or wrong answer is. The characters were well-written, flawed but also likable and real. This is a wonderful film and everyone should go and see it. | 9 |
All the emotional resonance felt while watching this film is a direct result of remembering the first film, which isn't hard because this is a roughly shot-for-shot remake. It's a dangerous gambit to adhere so closely to the traditionally animated version, as it invites unfavorable comparison. The former's medium allowed for the expression of human emotion, wildly imaginative musical sequences, and gorgeously exaggerated color palettes that served the characters and the story. This one is so slavishly devoted to realism that the talking animals barely do anything beyond talk--stiffly--and an underwhelming performance from a talented cast can't make up for the mask-like muzzle the style fits them with. James Earl Jones turns in the best performance, perhaps because his iconic voice is larger than life (and can easily live behind such masks). Again, the movie looks good and there's nothing exactly wrong with (mostly) anyone's performance, it just can't live up to the original because the choices made by the filmmakers seem to make success impossible.
Most of the humor has been cut. Most of the delightful villainy that made Scar so menacing and entertaining in the original is gone (and "Be Prepared" went from my favorite villain song to an embarrassment). Original music retooled for this version fails to grab me, and the new original song is intensely forgettable. Beyoncé is a powerhouse performer--but she's not an actor. Her voice acting (a skill not even seasoned actors always possess) again falls flat, as it did in Epic.
The film presents absolutely no good surprises. The only deviation from the original is in seeing how much this new film lacks.
It's not unwatchable, but since you'll just be thinking of the other movie the entire time, I would just watch that one instead. | 4 |
Boring movie compared to hacksaw ridge and saving private Ryan. | 2 |
On the whole, Interesting scifi concepts put to waste becuase of mediocre story telling and acting | 6 |
This will always be my favorite MCU film for reasons highlighted in many other reviews. The top reason: it's grounded and real. It doesn't rely on fantastical elements and heavy CGI. The action is well-choreographed and tense. It's also very well-acted by everyone.
When I feel like watching a superhero movie, I'll usually think to turn this one on first. I'm giving it 10/10 for that reason. | 10 |
A classic but better , I remember watched when I was 10 y/o ... 40 years later still amazing | 9 |
Perhaps ew may have become jaded with the CGI and effects. We get the need to help the planet. Some scenes were way too long and drawn out. The plot almost felt like a rehash of the first one.
Thank goodness for streaming, so you can stop for a bio break. We were able to stop halfway for a snack and a break.
I think JC could have done much better and not have to resurrect the villains. It seems like a cheap publicity stunt. The pace felt slow at times. The character development was too drawn out as well. Jake sSully was being Jake sully.
Don't get men wrong, it still is a visually breathtaking movie. It just seems like we might be due for something with a different plot line.
Peace out - JP. | 4 |
Monica O My Darling (2022) : Movie Review -
Vasan Bala's Monica O My Darling has a freaking blasting cast of Rajkummar Rao, Huma Qureshi, Radhika Apte, Sikandar Kher and Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, but the film is even more blasting. This is an interesting mix of multiple layers of genres such as neo-noir, crime, comedy, thriller, and black comedy that British cinema mastered decades ago. Monica O My Darling is racy, splashy, sexy, humorous, comic, thrilling, and somewhat slashy, but as a whole, what a freaking amazing mix it is. There haven't been many black comedies made in Bollywood, and whatever we have is either mediocre or overrated (including Netflix's own material). Monica O My Darling finally puts an end to that wait. We have waited a long time for a modern-day black comedy for years, maybe decades, since "Jane Bhi Do Yaaro" (1983), which had a satirical angle overfilling the black comedy elements. Vasan Bala's medley does not surpass or match that, but it definitely ends up being one of the best modern works after that.
Monica O My Darling starts off with a murder that doesn't involve any of your main characters. This is where you should start hyping it because a smart director keeps all his aces hidden in the first round, and here Vasan had so many. Jayant Arkhedkar (Rajkumar Rao) is appointed to the Unicorn Tech board of directors, making his colleagues envious. He is engaged to his boss' daughter, Niki (Anushka Ranjan Kapoor), and has an illegitimate affair with Monica Machado (Huma Qureshi). He desperately tries to make it big with some unlikely allies and a dastardly, diabolical plan to pull off the perfect murder, but things only get worse. A quirky cop, ACP Naidu (Radhika Apte), takes charge of the murder investigation while Jayant and his colleague try to get away and hide their secrets from cops, their boss, and their love ladies. The race takes them into a cobweb that covers other walls too, and you'll have to see the film to know every detail because spoilers are injuries to the viewing experience.
Firstly, a big round of applause for the writer, Yogesh Chandekar. Man, you have done it like a pro! So many characters, so many goofy ideas with brain, so many twists and you alone handle it without spoiling the basic fact of the universe - Karma. Hail you, man. Monica O My Darling is not simple at any point. It's a very complex story with so many layers, and the screenplay covers everything, even if it's illogical, because that's what comedy is sometimes. It has a pacy screenplay with eye-pleasing visuals and grooving background music, especially the retro classic song "Monica," which will not give you a chance to move an inch away from your seat. While doing so, it doesn't forget to do some high-quality brainstorming at the same time, causing a wonderful viewing experience with the brain, heart, and veins all working at the right place.
Rajkummar Rao is back! He hadn't gone anywhere, but that substantial work was missing in his last few projects (and to be honest, the projects weren't that good). Now, I can't say it any longer. Monica has done the trick for him. He is back in form - as an actor and as a good choicer as well. It's an open field for him, and he plays without any boundaries. Huma Qureshi has had a fantastic year, and Monica O My Darling adds another feather to her hat. She is sexy and greedy, but not a bastard. Radhika plays a hilarious part as ACP Naidu, which is an unusual thing for female cops in Bollywood. The style, attitude, and persona she carries in this film are really nice. One more surprise here is Akansha Ranjan Kapoor. She is a young, sexy, and stupid girl from a rich family, and she behaves like one. Those urban spoilt brats can relate to her character. The supporting cast is no less strong here. Sikander Kher's banger act shines, while Zayn Marie Khan, Sukant Goel, Bagavathi Perumal and Vijay Kenkre are phenomenal in their roles.
Monica O My Darling's technical departments will undoubtedly leave you with a lasting impression. The background score is absolutely enchanting and one of the finest works of art in this field for any Bollywood movie recently. What wonderful music Achint Thakkar and Mikey McCleary have provided! I was tapping my foot on every song, every beat, and how cleverly it has been put in parts of the narrative in different situations. While you admire the cinematography, Atanu Mukherjee's editing takes the cake. Was there any competition between the technical crew of this film or what? Like, all are gonna do well, but who's gonna do better or even better than that. A special mention to the somewhat underwhelming dialogue for not going over the top every time, while they still go so often. Those abuses and F-words are becoming quite normal for Netflix projects anyway.
Vasan Bala should write a book about how he created Monica O'My Darling so that other writers and filmmakers can learn how to create a true blue Neo-Noir crime comedy thriller in Bollywood style. Firstly, this mix of multiple genres was too much for one cinematic brain, then there was a huge cast, then there was a pressure to avoid cliches or use them in a new way, and the list goes on. You need multiple brains to handle multiple things, but Vasan Bala did it all alone. How? Do you have 3 or 4 brains there? He gets into the details of a small scene with so much care and intelligence. He knew where to use comic music and lyrics; he knew exactly where to use humour, thrills, twists, and other forces. It's not that he was doing something out of this world or that any scenes were like that. He was showing only regular, known scenes, but in his own different style. I can't reveal all those scenes, but here's one of them. Towards the end, Rajkummar is riding a bike, and he is going to get killed. As we all know, the hero never gets killed like that, so we know that he is going to survive, but how? That was the question. What's new from Vasan? Actually, it was just the same old trick of a group of locals passing by, but this time it was a Warkaris group singing "Vitthal Vitthal Mhana, Ha janma Nahi Punha." For the unfamiliar (like most of you are), that tone is from Humraaz (1967) - "Neele Gagan Ke Tale." Vasan has looked at such small details, and at the end, he simply follows the biggest lesson of Karma to leave you jumping on your seats. You wouldn't want to miss that fun, I believe, so don't miss Monica O My Darling.
RATING - 7/10* | 7 |
The title says it all.
What else should I say to make this review long enough to be allowed to post it? | 4 |
Love this reboot of the series. I love the family dynamics including their faults and conflicts, yet they still pull together. The plot is new, and it feels almost like a new franchise. I have to say I really wish they had planned to continue beyond the 3rd season, but I also get knowing when to stop before ruining a gem. It stands on its own. Just wish they wd get the whole series out on Blu-ray. I have been watching out for it. I have watched thru the series 3 times already. Just love it. | 8 |
Nowadays Bollywood needs this content, only new content (only entertainment purposes) can take Bollywood new highs, kantara and kgf takes new concept like, kgf is like live on edges and kantara is like old god story with right direction. Bollywood not taking risk and that cost, if someone does online platform take it in without any questions. Please take risk. Not only in big star cast or VFX. Take risk in story, concept and scripts.
If you want to waste your money,then waste on right, not on remake,not on big star, first of all please show the akshay kumar, canada great gate. Please tell him to settle their, and also tell him to take Karan Johar with you. That point is very important. | 10 |
Wow, Dare I say Netflix has successfully found a replacement for Daredevil?! This show is really well made - right down to the acting, cinematography and storylines. And not to forget the music; the soundtrack is half the reason I love it. Not gonna lie, this plot itself is quite depressing; definitely not a happy-go-lucky X-Men reboot. But they've established the characters really well, built in a lot of suspense and developed a good dysfunctional family dynamic, all wrapped up in a graphic novel vibe. I just can't wait for the next season. | 9 |
No idea how this can be beat. It's brilliant with fresh animation and plenty of humor and action. | 9 |
Kevin Bacon's character is so obnoxious & the acting so OTT it just put me off the whole show. And don't even get me started on THAT accent! Love Kevin Bacon, but NOT in this! | 5 |
This is really nice movie but i thing there are some thing was missing. Ex. Dhaka's really environment actually what is mean.something others.🙂 | 3 |
Expected more but movie ended being the worst one.
This film has nothing in it. A story about kids messing with ghosts. Jumpscares was predictable. Nothing much to say. Don't watch it cuz it has nothing in it. Skip this one ;) 3/10. | 3 |
I'm rating it one star less only because I can't watch this with family because of cuss words. You could have just beeped out those words. | 9 |
The beauty of the show has always been the interaction of the characters with the mystery and creepy stuff in the background. In this season they brought the creepy stuff to the foreground without any mystery and simplified the character interactions... 9 out 10 for show overall, but this season knocks it out of the 10 out of 10 range. | 9 |
Why do they have to make Kim such a pathetic character?? | 8 |
I didn't expect much going into Extraction. Since it's directed by stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave, I had a feeling the action would be impressive and indeed it was but everything else was lacking in comparison.
Extraction follows Tyler Rake, a mercenary who goes on a deadly extraction mission where he has to rescue a huge crime lord's kidnapped son.
The biggest enjoyment you can get from Extraction is the action sequences. I have to give a huge amount of credit to everyone who worked on the choreography of the action. All the action scenes are brutal and look very realistic. There is this incredible 10 minute sequence that looks like it's done in one take which is any action lover's dream. The camerawork and stunts during that scene are really well done. I can't imagine the amount of time that would've been invested just on that one scene. I wish I could say the same for the script.
If you're going to watch this film for the plot and characters, then you will be disappointed. The Russo Brothers, who made films like Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, wrote the screenplay and it's pretty bad. Apart from the action, there is nothing else to it. We barely learn about Hemsworth's character and the relationship between him and Jaiswal was extremely underdeveloped. This made it so difficult for me to care about them especially the end where it mattered. David Harbour is in the film but he didn't get to do much. He was completely wasted. There wasn't much to the villain either. A movie like John Wick has great action scenes as well but at the same time there is a good amount of character development within it.
Extraction is very forgettable. The action is commendable but I've seen better in films like John Wick and The Raid. Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda were good but the material they had to work with had a lot left to be desired. | 4 |
The first season was decent, in fact mostly enjoyable to watch, although it could get a little frustrating at times, so hence the fast forward comment. Season two is not decent, it's hard to watch and the fast forward gets used a lot more, which is a shame. The reason for the negativity of season two is simple, Amy Schumer, she just does not fit, in fact I'd go as far to say her character and performance is cringe-worthy. For the love of me I can't understand where the idea came to put her in any part of this show, sorry but the proof is in the viewing. Selena Gomez is actually the star of the show, she holds the balance of the three main characters and makes it work, Steve Martin plays to his strengths and you get what you expect from him. Martin Short can be frustrating at times, and at other times he can be really funny, but he fits into the chemistry of the show. I honestly think "Only Murders In The Building" could be a real winner, it needs a little help with the storyline and script but it has real potential. Also some of the other characters could come into play a little more, Bunny was a great character but unfortunately season two kind of put a crimp in that idea. There are others though that could be capitalised on such as Howard, Teddy, Detective William's (I really like her) plus the Podcast Critics are all really good characters to play on. | 7 |
Well written. Much better writing than falcon and the winter soldier. | 7 |
Love this movie whenever i watch this. Spclly the cute liil grl n AB chemistry. | 10 |
Game of Thrones or not, this show feels an unnecessary waste of time. The characters in the show have very little depth. The acting is mediocre at best, except for a couple of characters. I can't say much about the storyline as that's still evolving; however the storytelling itself is very poor quality. Most of the things that the characters say just feel uninteresting and unnecessary.
The only good thing about the show so far is its imagery. There are a lot more dragons and they are more magnificent than Game of Thrones. You also get to connect a few more dots that were left for the viewers to interpret on their own in Game of Thrones regarding the larger political landscape.
Overall, feels like a big waste of time. | 4 |
This is the best movie so far based on Indian army story.Very good direction & screenplay.Vicky kaushal nailed his role & others did their job perfectly.I will give 10/10 for this movie,as it touched my mind | 9 |
Is it me or is this Just playing racist. they are biggin black people up.
While i think that it is a fair eford. I also think that the emphasis is too much on the black empowerment. So that basically makes it a political movie rather then a superhero movie.
As in this Day and age. Being political isn't the best way for Hollywood to move on. Giving equal opportunity is a good drive. but that doesn't mean necessary to use White gold to make a movie like this | 4 |
At 200 minutes, the second installment in the timeless "Godfather" saga is the longest. And it just isn't quite as good as the delectable original. That being said, it definitely ranks right up there. With a broader, more epic storyline showing the parallels between father Vito (Robert De Niro in his best performance yet) and son Michael (the always, in these films, spot-on Al Pacino), GP2 fascinates audiences with its ingeniously undetectable staging and darker story (Kiss of Death and all).
It looks and feels only slightly different from the original, but the difference is good. This is not an attempt to capitalize on its predecessor. Nor is it an effort to repeat that classic. It is simply an expansion of the saga, another bookmark in the great tome of American cinema. And nothing any nay-sayer can... well, say, can change that. | 10 |
I Know there are probably worse super heroes out there. But Captain America is probably my least favourite of the more well known ones. A Superman rip-off who throws his shield at people? Ye, great. I almost gave this one a miss. But when almost everyone recommended it too me. I was nice enough to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Now I haven't changed my mind about the first movie. It was still fairly lame, rushed, and had a lot of poor decisions in it. But they really tried to up their game in this one. I have to say. As Much off a goof-ball as Captain America is. The More straight forward, yet action packed approach this film takes works more in its favour. I was entertained by a movie that I thought was going to suck. And I always love when that happens.
"Captain America – The Winter soldier" is a stand out "Marvel" movie, in that its rekindled my interest in the series for the first time since "The Avengers" was awesome. These guys are making so much money now, and they've got most of their origin stories out off the way. That I guess they can just get on with making some great movies. Onwards and upwards I say! | 7 |
I read the book by Jay years before the show was made, and it had always been a book that I still thought of from time to time, because the story and concept were so interesting. I think the first season did justice to the book in the way that it can haunt you for a long time. I loved the first season, though it definitely had some scenes that were very hard to watch, which was the point.
It made sense that they would make a season 2 given its success (purely for the money only though, probably). It was okay, it gave more look into the lives of those left behind (which the book didn't have) but it truly should have ended with the second season. I dind't even bother watching the third because it had moved away way too much from the original intentions of the first season.
I definitely recommend watching the first season! Watch the other 2 at your own leisure, but I don't necessarily recommend it. | 7 |
So many of the reviews below seem pretentious wanting something this movie wasn't offering. Glass Onion is great, as it takes your typical murder mystery and makes fun of it. The character Miles believes that he is smarter than he actually is and is an ass.
I believe that people who are watching this and posting such low reviews either don't like a movie with twists and turns, layers like a glass onion just as the movie describes or they take themselves to seriously to see what a fun movie can look like.
I say, give it a chance to win you over. Don't watch it with the intention of it being a sequel. It's a mystery novel as a movie. It's going to have twists and turns and red herrings. | 10 |
Not everyone will love this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised at how hilarious it was. I was not expecting anything really that good, but it had me entertained all the way, and there were parts of it that adhered to classic moviemaking formula. It was a just slightly too silly at times, but it just worked for me. I think this is one I could watch again, but time will tell. | 6 |
I have never understood the love for this movie. It is just so overly contrived, silly and sappy. It tries way too hard to milk everything from the audience in a way that just isn't honest. And, really, what's with the running? | 4 |
I knew going into Barbie that I was in for a visual feast. The trailers showcased the wonderful set design, costumes, and performances already. But I was not expecting how affecting this movie would be.
Greta Gerwig proves for yet a third time that women's stories are worth telling with Barbie. Only she could look at the plastic empire and find a story about what it means to be a woman in a society that hates them. What's miraculous is she does this all while also proving that men still suffer in an unequal society as well. It's such a careful examination of the culture we live in, but it's also absolutely hysterical and includes some of the hardest laughs I've had at the movies all year.
I know Greta's next project is a massive IP blockbuster, and while some might be worried that she's selling out, I'm not. She'll find new meaning to add in whatever she does. | 9 |
Better than most of the movies I've seen lately and the acting was superb from just about everyone. When big names like Brad Pitt and Paul Giamatti give you some of their best stuff, even though they're in minor parts, you know you're watching something good. It's hard to get your head around the fact that this is pretty recent history and it's still an open sore in America. The acceptance by the majority of white society at the time, of the concept of ownership of a human being , is something that still mystifies me. Mind you if you watch a few episodes of Downton Abbey and see how the staff were treated even up to the 1940s you will get a good idea where it came from. Can you believe that a Naval Architect from Liverpool was given an award for a design that allowed for more slaves to be jammed in at the prow of a slave ship? But I digress. This is raw and emotional stuff and it hits you right in the solar plexus. With that in mind, you don't really need to linger with shots of extreme anguish such as the scene with the rope, or the close up of Solomon Northup's despairing face. It's only a minor flaw but you would think that somebody would have whispered in the director's ear that these key scenes could have been shortened for more effect.
To say you enjoyed a movie like this doesn't seem right but there's redemption in the thought that those days are behind us in North America (only to be replaced by wage slavery in many cases.) It's important to remember too that real slavery still exists in many other countries and we shouldn't get too smug when we point out the shortcomings of other nations... we've still got a big bill to pay! | 7 |
This movie is terrible and weird. I hated the characters and performances. All around artsy garbage designed to push the approved Hollywood agendas. Cinematography was interesting and shots were interesting but overall the story was so corny and riddled with cliche and common tropes. | 2 |
I was hooked to start with but then the "supernatural" stuff got in the way. I am not a Stephen King fan though so if you like his stories then this might be for you.
Good acting from a few good British actors. | 5 |
The ending ruins the entire story. To make a comparison, the first film was much better. The positives: breath-taking cinematography, awesome setting, strong acting. The negatives: the movie feels like a money grab and a weak sequel to the original. This sequel doesn't have the same impact as the first and is quickly forgettable. The Mona Lisa part of the movie is actually annoying. The cameos and Easter eggs are hilarious and help add some personality, but they are obviously not enough to carry the film. The screenplay is abhorrent. The mystery was dumbed down to the point of being ridiculous and insulting. The big twist was so deflating. | 5 |
I tried to get past episode 2 but it's shocking. Pointless | 2 |
Good Series, many good characters! Incredible story | 9 |
Come on Aamir, enough already! You know you are not a good actor when you keep playing one dimensional characters with similar sketches and motivations throughout your career with some patriotic and social messages so that people will get distracted and not pay attention to your mediocre acting performances film after film. Garish tight clothes? Making a fool of himself? That hairstyle? : Raj from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. That hairstyle? : G.One from Ra.One Funny? : RNBDJ, Chennai Express, Baadshah, Yes Boss, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani.. Not afraid of small roles in which women are central to the story? : Shakti the Power, Dear Zindagi, Gaja Gamini, In which Annie gives it those ones. Self-aware? : I hope you use words knowing their meanings, ma'am. Amitabh Bachchan and his successor Shahrukh Khan are the most self- aware superstars our country has ever seen. Intelligent, witty, and can talk about any topic in the world keeping the atmosphere light. Unlike the fake, pretentious hypocrite and boring Aamir Khan who is not even an above-average actor when pitted against Akshaye Khanna, Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Saif Ali Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and many, many others. Vulnerability? Has been? Teary-eyed? : Kabir from Chakde India, Aryan Khanna from FAN. Manipulative? : This can be said for every single Aamir blockbuster post 2001 barring Talaash, Dhobi Ghat, Dhoom 3. The mediocre actor that is Aamir Khan is the least versatile and goes on to play characters with similar arcs and sketches his entire career..while the REAL world's biggest superstar is a million times more versatile and has played characters which are dynamic and that have a wide arc/development through out the plot. He has even played variations of Raj/Rahul which are different from each other.. Give credit to those who are worthy of it. Aamir's emulation of ideas which were ahead of their times: Rang De Basanti- Phir bhi dil hai hindustani Dangal- Chakde India PK- OMG Fanaa- Dilse.. Haven't you figured it out yet? Are you that naive? Choosing patriotic, social-message laced overrated preachy scripts is the cause of his Box Office as well as critical success. Imagine the average Aamir pulling off complicately layered characters in Raees and FAN..he couldn't even have done a better job in Dear Zindagi and Jab Harry Met Sejal, forget about world's biggest superstar's other layered characters...the last four films are a clear indication of who is the most versatile actor in Indian film industry after Amitabh Bachchan..
Could you watch again Chakde India, Swades, My Name Is Khan, Dilse.. ,Devdas, Veer Zara or Om Shanti Om? I hope you liked Fan which has a magnificent double lead performances like in Stephen King's Misery and Martin Scorsese's King of Comedy; and Raees which is like Indian Narcos where the lead character dies for the crime he didn't commit. You will also love Chakde over Dangal, Dilse.. over Rang De Basanti, Swades over Pk and Taare zameen par, My Name Is Khan which is as classic as Forrest Gump and Rainman over 3 idiots. You should check out DON series for some good action and psychological thrill. There are martial art techniques like WING CHUN, TRAPPING, KRAV MAGA in Don series. Extremely realistic fights. If you have watched The Notebook, you will love Jab Tak Hai Jaan over it and Om Shanti Om over La La Land. Paheli is a fantasy with women empowerment which is like a live action Disney- Pixar movie. Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani is a comedy satire on media and journalism and politics which was way ahead of its time and similarly Oh Darling Yeh Hai India which is on Netflix is the first bizarre musical thriller and a parody movie of Bollywood, Maya Memsaab is a adaptation of the classic Madam Bovary and a researchgate paper is written analyzing the implications of western influence on Indian women titled "Colonization of Madam Bovary: Hindi cinema's Maya Memsaab".You will love others like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Josh, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Dear Zindagi, Kal Ho Na Ho(you will love this over Fault in our Stars, A Walk to remember). Asoka is a wonderful historical fiction and also a biopic on a 250 BC ruler. You will enjoy it because it was actually made keeping international audiences in mind but unfortunately Lagaan got selected for Oscar nomination instead because of bias. The lead performance in DARR is an actual realistic portrayal of a disturbed obsessed person in love. It is a great psychological thriller and doesn't become a parody like Robert Deniro's Cape Fear. You must absolutely watch Baazigar and Anjaam. You will love the laugh in Baazigar, it is more reminiscent of the Joker and Anjaam is a true blue psychopath movie with no scope of rooting for the lead character. Like American Psycho. You didn't know Ra.One is an cross-cultural Indian superhero movie with an advanced futuristic virtual reality technology which is not explained similar to technologies in the Black Mirror show and musical dance numbers? The chase scene of Captain America Civil War seems to be inspired from Ra.one, Also Electro's look in Amazing spiderman 2 and Adam Sandler's Pixels ripped off Ra.One...you will find many pop culture beauties like very different and realistic VFX and H.A.R.T which is like Ironman's arc reactor. And sense of humour is similar to Deadpool's. It is better than its Enthiraan and Krrish counterparts, with a futuristic advanced virtual reality technology that goes haywire. I think you should give them a chance rather than being biased towards specific film makers and actors. You talked about how you love feelings-driven, light hearted, hangout movies. You should watch Jab Harry Met Sejal. It is made in the style of European slice of life romcoms. Like the Before Trilogy. Have a great Diwali! | 1 |
Disney+ put together some awesome trailers, some great cast interviews and good background material. The series starts with a bang, but fizzles out very quickly to a slow, boring and almost snail pace and I felt like I was watching so much setup, fan service and nostalgia that Disney+ forgot to make a TV series. This seems to be a problem with Disney+ series which include Wandavision or The Mandolorian, they're so busy hyping up the lore, canon for avid comic / book fans they forget their casual viewers lose out. This is why reviews seem to be divided, hardcore fans love it, casual viewers are like - meh! I feel other streaming networks are nailing the TV formula - maybe why that's why Star was introduced because they needed good 'already proven' TV franchises on the platform. .....this really needs to change, you can't use your properties like this, they'll need a good 'all-rounder' (that serves everyone!) film / TV show soon or else they'll be losing subscribers. | 5 |
