He was putting efforts for this series. He just forgot to put good jokes.
The dil se bura lgta hai bhai boy was over used and was not required. Also the manager scene was too long. | 3 |
OK, this isn't the best movie out there, But its worth watching it for what it is. I find to believe that Oscar Issac played a great role in this movie. He was the perfect casting. Since i liked this guy in his other minor roles i figured ill check this movie out. He plays a business man, and just purchased a property for his business. Because of competition his business is getting robbed and hi jacked from other people. Cops are on his trail and he has to clean up whatever is going on to close the deal on the property in 30 days, or he goes bankrupt and pretty much canned. Check it out for what its worth. It kept my attention throughout the whole film, and supposedly based on true events. | 7 |
I absolutely love this show and season 2 started as eventful as was expected. Huge thanks for Netflix for this extremely entertaining and brilliant show 🙏🏻 | 9 |
Ethan and Joel Coen are at it again. Their masterful directing and writing makes this movie unforgettable. Snowy North Dakota sets the mood real well for this maliciously funny story of a botched kidnapping. William Macy is a car salesman in the need of some big bucks. He hires two inept scum buckets (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare)to kidnap his wife thus letting him cash in on a huge ransom to be paid by his father-in-law. Frances McDormand plays a pregnant police chief that takes charge of picking up the pieces of the crime that has come unraveled.
Strong violence and foul language go hand in hand with the awkward and hilarious situations. You will certainly be eager to watch this one again immediately. | 7 |
Some random adapted on the way scenery line... When something important is happening with one character they move the action to another character in a completely different hypostasis and so on... That's a stupid way to say "we ran out of ideas on how to continue this part" or "let's get the stupid viewers on another thread so we can come out of the blue with continuing the last stage by omitting how the f... X suddenly got into a bed being nursed when the last time we saw X he was going to die" | 3 |
Every second packed with intensity in this first episode - I'm flabbergasted! Ending of the episode left me yearning for more instantly! I haven't felt like this about a series since first time I watched True Blood (not that they compare in any way). Very catching! I certainly hope the rest of the series live up to this first episode! | 10 |
(DO NOT LISTEN TO 1 STAR REVIEWS!) First off, I don't like sitcoms, they just aren't for me. The first or second episode starts off the main plot and it's slowly taking up more and more run time of each episode. I was hooked since episode 1 cause I need to know what's going on, if you're trying this show, get to episode 4 or 5 before deciding to stop watching it, that's when things really pick up. All of the 1 star reviews are just impatient people or people who don't understand what's going on and they're mad over their own confusion. | 7 |
I've seen a bunch of comedy films produced by Judd Apatow, and haven't been impressed with all of them, but have found most of them funny. Before watching "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", I knew it was another production from him, and also knew that Russell Brand was in it. I had never seen him in any movies before, but first heard of him a while ago, hearing about his friendship with Noel Gallagher, who was then still in Oasis. Brand has become very famous in recent years, getting lots of media attention, but is also a very polarizing comedian. Many hate him with a passion, and you might hate me for saying this, but before seeing this film, videos I had seen of him online had convinced me that he was a talented guy! Anyway, I was expecting lots of laughs from this particular Apatow Productions effort, and I definitely got them.
Peter Bretter is a composer in Los Angeles who has been in a relationship with actress Sarah Marshall for the past five years. She stars in a TV show called "Crime Scene: Scene of the Crime", for which Peter writes the musical score. However, after five years together, Sarah suddenly announces that she is breaking up with Peter, as she is now in love with somebody else. The composer is devastated by his loss, and finds that one-night stands don't help him get over it, so he decides to go on vacation in Hawaii. He arrives at a Hawaiian resort hotel to ask for a room, but as luck would have it, he quickly discovers that Sarah and her current boyfriend, Aldous Snow, the lead singer of a rock band called Infant Sorrow, are also currently guests at this resort! Due to this inconvenience, it doesn't look like this trip is going to help Peter at all. During his stay in Hawaii, things do begin to look good for him as he falls in love with hotel receptionist Rachel Jansen, but the struggling composer might still have feelings for Sarah.
This R-rated romantic comedy begins by showing us Peter as he is happy at home, just before Sarah comes in and tells him the bad news. I didn't laugh much at this point until I saw the video for Infant Sorrow's "We've Got to Do Something" come on to Peter's TV. After this, it is memorably funny when Peter learns that his relationship with Sarah is over and we see his reaction to this. Many laughs quickly follow as we see the protagonist's struggles after this breakup and before he goes on the trip, which definitely includes the part where he destroys a screen when he sees Sarah's face on it! The funny gags keep coming during Peter's vacation trip, with his frequent encounters with Sarah and Aldous, his computer conversations with stepbrother Brian, some of the people he meets in Hawaii (such as Chuck, a surfing instructor whose beginning instructions are very hard to follow), a bunch of sex scenes and lots of sex talk, etc. The laughs aren't as consistent as I could have hoped, as there are some weaker parts, but there are still lots of comic highlights and well crafted characters. Jason Segel puts on a satisfying comedic performance in the lead role of Peter Bretter, and most of the other cast members are steady as well, including Russell Brand as Aldous Snow, who is funny in a number of scenes, one of them being the part where he helps the Darald Braden character with his sex life. In addition to the humour and characters, it also helps that this film also features some beautiful Hawaiian scenery.
Since this 2008 release is from Apatow Productions, it's unsurprisingly a very crude comedy. The swearing, sexuality, and nudity are the reasons for the film's R rating, and with all these elements, it's obviously not for the kids, but just like any extremely raunchy comedy, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" can also disgust many adults and make them think that anyone who actually thinks it's funny must be out of their mind! However, if you can take all the raunchiness and you tend to like these modern-day R-rated comedies, including the ones Judd Apatow produces, plus you're not one of the many who hate Russell Brand, who doesn't play the starring role here but still has a lot of scenes for this breakthrough performance of his, you just might get a lot of laughs out of this movie, just like I did. As much as I'm sure MANY would disagree, I do think this particular Apatow Productions piece is much better than "Superbad", a more popular comedy from the same producer, but one which I just couldn't understand the reputation of! | 8 |
One of the best movie in bollywood, i like so much. Nagraj Manjule is the best director and other who helped him to making this movie. I am proud of Nagraj Sir. | 10 |
This is one show that is so smartly written and executed by all its lead characters who are both sorted and have some conflicts ongoing.
Beautiful work by Danish Husain and Neeraj Kabi.
Loved the part where Danish injects simple philosophy into everyday life with ease. Lighthearted and well nuanced | 10 |
I feel like Del Toro rewrote the movie around act 3 to suit the current time's issues and agendas to be a part of the bandwagon and thus ruined what was originally destined to be a true masterpiece.
There are movies that were originally meant to be about a female group (sex and the city, the devil wears prada), a character or a relationship was meant to be gay or lesbian (brokeback mountain, gigli) and they fit, or even a love story of completely different worlds or species (beauty and the beast, casper) and it isn't forced or out of place. It isn't uncomfortable or vulgar, they were not made to jump on a bandwagon, to solely fit the current global agendas or issues, they were purely about the art and the story they told. They were great movies and depicted a proper portrayal and a true image of the concepts they told the stories of.
In contrast we now have movies that are solely created to jump on the bandwagon, to fit an agenda or forcefully incorporate them while uncomfortably out of place, all female reboots (Ghostbusters, Ocean's 8), gay and lesbian relationships forced into scripts with almost no true chemistry of love or affection between them in countless shows and movies, and movies such as this where interspecies relationships are depicted so out of place and distastefully, so vulgar and lacking true chemistry that it's simply uncomfortable.
I am all for LGBT rights. But it's very obvious this movie wasn't meant to be about that, but somewhere along the line Del Toro seems to have steered the movie off it's original course to be a part of that bandwagon and it's very obvious how they were forced. You see, your likelihood of winning oscars skyrocket when you fit the current agendas set by the industries involved.
That's exactly what happened here.
Beauty and the beast did it right, this movie did it distastefully and uncomfortably.
A potential masterpiece of art ruined by external agendas.
Shame on you Del Toro. | 5 |
This is one of the most unique horror films I've seen in years. The plot is relatively simple: teens get their hands on a mysterious embalmed hand that allows them to see and chat with the dead. Predictably, they do not use this ability responsibly, and they end up breaking the 'rules'. Hijinks ensue. There are a couple of gruesome scenes that aren't for the faint of heart, but they are thankfully brief. I wouldn't say the level of scares is very high, but it does a good job of delivering a few jump scares, being atmospheric, and leaning into its concept. Excellent, highly recommend to any aficionado of the genre. | 8 |
The music was enjoyable, but not memorable, the professional dancers were were excellent. The leads - OK. Gosling & Stone did a good job as far as acting, but singing & dance are not their talent - at least in this movie. The story line was pretty routine, nothing all that dramatic. I had a hard time keeping awake for most of it. The ending helped redeem it, but not enough to give it more than 5 stars - for me at least. The dialog was a trite. I still remember many of the songs from the old musicals. I don't think I will remember much of anything from this. If you are looking for a nice evening with a simple , sappy story line and pleasant music, you won't be disappointed. Just don't go in with high expectations. If you disagree and love it, great. You will be pleasantly surprised. | 5 |
Stumbled across this as I needed a new comedy to watch. Whilst this is funny in places I wouldn't class it as an all out comedy This is a drama firstly with a few comedic scenes thrown in, but it is definitely worth watching. | 8 |
Caution, spoilers below:
What bothered me initially about the film was that the dreams just didn't seem very dream-like. Most of the dreams were too detailed and clear, and seemed too strict in following the logical patterns the film set for them. Most of the dreams lacked the surreal touches, the dreamy fuzziness as portrayed in other much simpler films like "Dreamscape".
Also some important rules followed by the 'induced' dreams of the film appear to only apply to those types of dreams and not to natural dreams... I know this may seem obvious but I think the film unnecessarily blurred the line between the 'nature' of the induced and natural dreams leading to some confusion.
Another thing I had a lot of trouble buying into was that the characters involved in multi-layered dreams left behind some sort of 'ethereal' bodies asleep at the lower dream levels.
In other words, when their minds move on to another dream level I see no logical reason why they would be leaving behind some bizarre dream-sleep bodies at the lower levels.
They might DREAM that they are waking up from one level to the next but to say that they actually leave behind some sort of sleeping dream-body seems silly to me.
e.g. I can go along with the idea that the 'Chemist' might experience the others as being in a drug induced sleep while he's driving the van during that wild chase scene. But why would the others have any dependency-on the Chemist's perception of their sleeping bodies at the lower dream level?
One aspect of the film I liked a lot is that there are hints now and then that we are still actually watching a dream when the characters are supposedly awake...
Didn't the Cobb character say there was a danger in composing a dream too close to your real-life because you could no longer distinguish between the two? | 7 |
Scorsese and DeNiro took the story of Frank Sheeran and tried to force themselves into the film. Sheeran was known as an imposing figure due to his 6'4" frame. He was overly confident, charismatic, and sadistic. DeNiro's version of Sheeran was timid, unsure of himself, and below average size. Despite the CGI to make DeNiro look young, he moved like a guy in his 70s. Frank's vivid blue eyes came across like DeNiro had cataracts. The story line was poorly developed with important events barely mentioned. After reading the book I was extremely excited for this film. I was disappointed throughout the movie. | 2 |
Our nation has become more sensitive to all types of people; regardless of race, sex or religion. This movie reflects how far we've come in a very short time. Excellent blend of captions and transitions between Arabic and English languages. This movie is absolutely incredible!!! Pleasant surprise and quite enlightening. It drives home our nation's differences and what we all have in common. One man's struggle to be understood reflect our own personal conflicts as we try to communicate in a ever changing political climate. Lengthy in some of the explanatory scenes however, tastefully produced. It's beyond me why this movie didn't do well at the box office. Do yourself a treat and watch this movie! It's I MUST have in my collection! ENJOY! | 10 |
I fu*king hate when people starts criticising this kind of movies.Beside the political side the movie very well shows true aspects of Indian soldier's life and work. Just go and watch this movie for atleast VICKY KAUSHAL. Other than you can be the 'andha bhakt army' of stars with no acting ability and make senseless movies(RACE3) earn more than 300cr. | 9 |
This show reminds me of my childhood. The characters in this show have the best development out of any show I've ever seen. If you watch this show you will not be disappointed. | 10 |
Please keep in mind that this is just a typical action flick where the portrayal of Bangladesh, well, not even close to reality.
For starter, we Bangladeshis have way better curse words than the film showed. We do not speak 'Bengali' the way it portrayed, we do not have child soldiers carrying assault rifles and our SWAT team would have the hero for breakfast!!
Enjoy the movie, and if you want to try some authentic, mouth-watering Bengali food, contact me once this lockdown is over!
WALID A Bangladeshi With Love 🇧🇩 | 6 |
This is most emotional & funny relate to reality film i can't forget this movie till 2019 & swades is my all time fav movie srk do his best perfomances & other cast do very well job director ashutosh gowariker make this masterpiece for us we should be thankful for slice of life film. | 10 |
I didnt like this movie no sense! And bollywood 🤣 waste of time and money | 1 |
I was so hyped for the series since i'm a big fan of the Winter Soldier but unfortunately it was just ok, it is not bad but it's not great either. The cast is very good ( i loved Wyatt Russel as the new Captain America) but the plot is a problem it has many many gaps especially the villain part but it plays an important role in the future of the mcu so its must watch. In conclusion it's descent. | 7 |
This one really has people going at each other and declaring war on those not sitting firmly on either side of the fence eh? Ah well that's human behaviour but I'm gonna wade in with my thoughts if not for morale support for only a small handful of others seem to share the same.
The hype over this is something of a mystery to me and in the nicest way, I can only assume the majority that rave and can say nothing but good about this one are coming at it without having much prior knowledge or experience with musicals (or PT Barnum) but I'm from a musical / theatre background and later became well read and researched on all things related to the origins of the circus so can be accused of just being precious.
Thing is, I'm not being precious at all. It's a really bright, colourful, dazzling confused mess.
Starting with the good points about it - the aforementioned really bright, colourful and dazzling stuff which is what's so confusing and conflicting.
The costumes, editing, choreography and music I can live with. Actually the music is pretty good I do like a fair few songs quite a lot and don't think they were badly placed or misplaced at all with the era as a lot seem to take issue with. It just feels like someone sat down and wrote all the songs, did all the choreography, sorted the costumes and props, got a shipload of coke for the CGI crew and then a week before its release they went "Oh no.. did anyone do a storyline or plot or anything like that?"
It really does feel like they had the best ingredients, the most lush recipe for a rich velvet cake and in the excitement someone forgot to put it in the oven.
There is literally nothing holding the whole thing together and I did start to lose focus and fade out a bit so had to skip back to see what I'd missed between Zac Effron and Trapeze girl. One second he was seeing her for the first time and immediately falling in love and then next thing they have this whole "We have come such a long way" thing. I have no idea how got from A - Z but they did.
Bearded lady is happily singing from behind a sheet hung on a washing line, Barnum rudely barges in all "Ah my good lady with the fine beard and boobies I must have you join my show!" and then next thing she's giving herself black eyes bouncing and dancing around with some strangely new found confidence that runneth over more than her top. It'd take some real bravery courage to bust out a routine with a beard like that but again - she found it and it comes from her hidden behind washing to leading a full ensemble.
Backing dancers we're given a speed dating introduction during the scenes were Barnum is dishing out wanted posters for "Unique Persons" written by HR staff way ahead of their time and that's it. No other character development or real storyline or plot or anything in-between the songs is going on. They had a week to come up with something I'm sure but a quick read of Wiki must have thrown a spanner in the works so they filtered out the worst, tweaked the little things like means of extinguishing the fire ("Can we CGI belugas or do we just grab buckets from the storage? Yeah let's go with buckets. We're already on thin ice with the elephants and lions and stuff...)
A huge disappointment and WTF moment was the scene where Barnum first hears and falls in love with the voice of Jenny Lind and I say disappointment because at the first chorus I went "That's not her voice..." and it distracted me enough that I paused the film to do a quick Google search and sure enough it wasn't. My issue isn't with her being dubbed and I appreciate the actress felt Loren's voice was more powerful and fitting than her own (agreed) but it showed and painfully so.
On the plus side although a tad hypocritical and contradictory I know, at least Hugh Jackman was and is much nicer to look at than PT Barnum himself. If you aren't familiar - Barnum in real life looked like a thumb. Google him if you're not familiar. An actual thumb.
I didn't expect much in the way of historical accuracy by any stretch but the origins of the circus and the individuals that formed part of Barnum's side show and freaks is fascinating to start with. I thought the whole thing about accepting people for who they are inside and celebrating the differences in all of us was going to be really told through the real life characters i.e. Bearded lady, Jenny Lind, General Tom Thumb etc.
Bizarrely it makes the people they're trying to celebrate crass caricatures of themselves which nobody seems to have noticed.
General Tom Thumb for example is depicted in this film as the wacky, crazy funny little guy struggling to stay balanced on the back of an elephant calf. In reality he became wildly rich, famous and even bailed out Barnum when he hit the skids and needed money. He married, had a family, had his own purpose built home made and like, love or loathe Barnum, the man did him this opportunity which would not have been afforded anywhere else at all.
The hate from people that take issue with "glorifying" Barnum to me is right out of the idiots pocket book guide on how to be offended and woke with all the other cool kids. Barnum never claimed to be much beyond a businessman and those he exploited he actually gave an opportunity to avoid being horribly exploited and abused as was pretty much standard at the time.
What I will say is this would have been superb if they'd taken it straight to the stage. It feels like it was born for Broadway and as a live production, would have more time to develop and been a strong show.
The same music, choreography and talented cast - even including some lighting trickery or puppets for the animals - I imagine it as being an absolutely superb but even bigger, better version of Circus 1903
PS. Seriously - Barnum looked like a thumb. | 5 |
I do not want to create controversies but we need to highlight all races which fight for the Allied Forces. I see very few of them with no rating in the film industry or I am missing something. In both World wars every race and ethnicity participated but the praise goes to one community is out of doubt. "Historians pointed out that 2.5 million south Asian soldiers fought alongside Britain in the second world war. Some 1,000 Indian soldiers were also on the beaches at Dunkirk, not to mention non-white soldiers from elsewhere in the British empire, or the multi-ethnic rescue flotilla, or a heavily north African presence in the French army - none of whom seemed to figure among the movie's 6,000 extras. When you watch Dunkirk, remember that it's a whitewashed version which ignores the bravery of black and Muslim soldiers" (A review of the Dunkrik) The same goes for all such movies created to highlight history of the WWI or WWII. | 7 |
Forget about Rings of Power, this is the show you want to see.
I'll be honest. I had some reservations about how well would House of the Dragon be capable to deliver the world of George R. R. Martin. And deliver it does.
Not only does it feel like Game of Thrones, but the cast is for the most part very well chosen. With most actors and actresses, delivering solid performances and being capable of pulling us into their world, their lives, their intrigues, their agendas. But above all making the viewer care about those characters.
Not that many shows can claim to be able to do that. But this one can. And it's good because after season 8 of Game of Thrones, the story needed to be focused on something else that makes us forget about that season.
And although the fall of House Targaryen is something we know it's going to happen no matter what, at least the show is being done well enough that even knowing that, doesn't really matter. It's a show that has proven to have what it takes to be seen and appreciated.
My only hope right now is that the success doesn't go to their heads, and they start making rookie mistakes. Game of Thrones lost the race in the last meters of the race, so I really hope that House of the Dragon doesn't make the same mistake.
Other than that three episodes in, and this show has come out strong and with enough fire to burn long and wide, instead of burning bright and fading just as fast.
This show is definitely a must see. And those that don't watch it will only lose. | 8 |
A high quality production from top to bottom, well done and thank you everyone concerned. | 10 |
Interstellar is not a bad movie by Hollywood standard but its a terrible movie by the standard Nolan has set for himself . It's also nothing great compared to any other Hollywood movie ...not even in special effects ...the whole movie experience comes to being an average viewing .But for the fans of Nolan this could be huge disappointment!! This movie at least confirms that Nolan is no 'son of Kubrick' and compared to "2001 A Space Odyssey" this is a massive failure . I did not expect the movie to make sense in every scientific terms but at least it should make logical sense within the parameters set by story itself ; for example 'Inception' was the movie which made perfect satisfying sense in this regards. 'Intersteller' is a gigantic failure; sadly with so many open plot holes (or potholes?) it looks a like Bruce Willis movie viz. why exactly human race shunned technology , what's that dust cloud all about , who done all this and why & how he came back from black hole etc. ; But even if one leave them apart ; as a movie there is no strong story to connect audience to , the father daughter relationship simply fades away in between , and all the action sequences has irritating jarring music in background which instead of increasing tension makes u feel dizzy with nausea...and some totally underdeveloped characters like spaceship crew members and many others unnecessary characters like Doctor Mann .
The biggest drawback of this movie is its hardly original at all , the story is something you have already read thousand times in any comic book or seen as a child in any space series or other such shows and of course shown so many times earlier in different format too. One may even call it a poor adaptation of Inception itself as main story line of coming back to family from abyss resonates to Inception but while you feel for Copp in inception you don't feel same way for Cooper!! The absolute lack of creativity even in special effects is biggest disappointment of this movie and coming this from Nolan makes it even sadder. Anyone could have directed this script and with somewhat similar result and such a typical Hollywood endings. Where is the Nolan stamp in this movie? I don't know if this is 'end of Nolan ' as we knew it but both TDKR and Intersteller seemed like a cut paste job of directing with many sequences of juxtaposition simply did not work . The movie fails to deliver as a singular object of artistic vision and fails to make any impact. This may be case of Hollywood studios overriding vision of director but if Nolan too has conceded to studio pressures it then it's the biggest disappointment of all .
The problem with this movie isn't really that it does not make any logical sense but that it doesn't connect you emotionally to any of the characters in the movie. Its a very shallow movie experience which makes you feel somewhat jaded at the end. But the worst part about the movie is despite being the movie about space ; this doesn't really make you feel inside a space even if you are watching it in IMAX 70mm !! watching a documentary on space travel may make you feel more awe or just watch 'Gravity' or '2001 Space Odyssey' again ! | 5 |
The headline is pretty much the whole review, tbh.
Yup, great acting but so, so slow. Existential angst being a repeated theme with Murdoch and co coming to grips with being a vigilante. Every season. | 4 |
The only complain about this movie is that action scenes are too quick. Shaking camera and too much happening in seconds makes it hard to follow..apart from that it is a...Marvellous Movie)))
Streve Rodgers was not my favorite character from Avengers, until I watched this) I was always into Scarlett) Here... this is what they call an ideal action movie)) with impressive action scenes and usual Avengers stuff - the meaning and the message behind the action.
So..to put it simply - this is the best Avengers action movie and probably the best action movie of 2010s)) The joyride of watching this.. and two hours swishing like 15 minutes)) Battle music, Steve being the knight of the world and Scarlett breaking me heart again that I do not have such a marvel in me life)) this is what an action movie is all about))
P.S. There is a lot of praise to dramatic performance of actors in drama movies.. but still.. here.. to look so convincing in every second of action scenes like Chris and Scarlett did.. requires no less talent)) | 10 |
This is a real surprise - an effective horror movie coming out of Australia. I don't mean to offend Australians but the industry there is not famous for producing really good horror movies.
The story is logical, the direction very good and the acting is surprisingly convincing.
I especially liked the twists and turns culminating in a very effective surprise ending. (You won't see many better endings in this category.) All in all it is a very, very good horror movie.

Best thing about this movie... Oscar Isaac's English accent! Playing 2 alternative personalities. As a SciFi series goes, it kept me watching but could have been better. | 7 |
Except it's not Keanu and it wasn't any good. Too bloody and violent | 4 |
Very sad end to a franchise that could have if handled correctly been fantastic. Fox's 1st movie in this franchise was probably the best, it showed the X-men as a superhero team, after that each movie was woefully inept, including the Wolverine offshoot movies & the "first class" rubbish, now, Logan a depressing tale that descends into a hack slash gore fest, an awful end to an awful franchise. Hopefully Marvel Studios will eventually do justice to the X-men characters & storylines by creating a franchise that celebrates the characters as heroes & villains instead of psychotic maniacs. This only gets 5 stars because of the brilliant & talented Stephen Merchant & his portrayal of the mutant Caliban. | 5 |
This is a sensational series for all viewers to watch. The crew pushed themselves to the absolute limit when they were creating this series. The storyline of this series was strong held itself nicely throughout the entire series. The cast selection was excellent. They completely committed and connected to the storyline and to their respective characters. The chemistry between the cast members worked well with this series. This series reveals to viewers what the true power of creativity and imagination can really do for everyone. It also can help in the world of today to make it a better and safe place for everyone. This is a splendid series for all viewers to watch. | 7 |
Honestly, I love this series but I hate it when the story jumps back & forth between timelines without any indication at all. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHICH IS HISTORY AND WHICH IS CURRENT?!? It's so confusing... I had to read up about the story in Wikipedia just to understand what the hell is going on. I would have given a 9/10 if I could just relax and watch the whole series with understanding. Minus 1/10 because I personally don't like the fake voice Henry Cavill made in the show. | 7 |
I won't discuss or argue this with any of you, we have different opinions and fighting is pointless. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs and always thought that any of them has higher IQ than Ben Affleck and George Clooney combined but had my doubts. Not anymore. Oscar nominees are getting worse and worse every year. I was hoping that Lincoln would be a great film but come on, even great Day-Lewis could not save it. My daughter is pursuing an acting career and she has been being better than half of freaking Hollywood junk, will probably fail. My only comment is that great Alan Arkin and John Goodman are probably completely starving to stare in this movie. How sad! And yes, Casey.... Did you have to be there? | 1 |
WandaVision plays most of the time in a sit-com world comprised of sit-coms throughout the history of television. The idea is to show what it would be like to have Wanda and Vision as the leads in favorite sit-coms over the decades. This idea intrigued me to no end. I couldn't wait for the show to begin. Then it began and I couldn't wait for it to be over. Sit-coms are supposed to be funny and heartwarming and clever - this has none of that. The comedy is stale, the story is slow and the supporting characters have no significance whatsoever.
The interesting part of the show is the outside "real" world where they are trying to figure out what is going on but even these characters need work. As a Marvel show this is lacking any superhero qualities. As a funny show it is stale with no laughs. As a sci-fi show it is interesting for a few minutes an episode.
Maybe it will get better - I hope so.
Revision: After watching all shows my rating of 5 does not change. If they had started the show at episode 9 it would have been far more interesting. This is a shame since I have loved everything Marvel has put out before this. | 5 |
Extraction is not a video game adaptation - but it could have been. Nor is Extraction a spin-off from the highly-successful John Wick franchise, although if it is was, you wouldn't have thought twice. If anything, thinking twice is not why one would watch the Netflix original movie.
Resplendent with turn-yer-brain-off action and in-yer-face fisticuffs, Extraction is the perfect prescription for fun escapism this quarantined world needs.
Based on the graphic novel Ciudad by comicbook veteran Ande Parks (Capote in Kansas, Green Arrow) and Joe Russo (a screenwriter/director... somewhat of a newcomer in the field. Has a few little-seen, indie flicks on his resume...), Extraction is the straight-forward tale of a hardened-yet-weary merc hired to rescue a kidnapped boy. That boy, refreshingly played by Rudhraksh Jaiswal, whose wide, innocent eyes are more-than-reminiscent of Finn Wolfhard's Stranger Things teen exuberance, is the son of a ruthless Mumbai mobster. An equally-ruthless mobster, this one from Dhaka, Bangladesh, has the son kidnapped in order to finalize their gang war. Enter Chris Hemsworth and team whose muscles, grunts, and squinting eyes would make any paramilitary army quake in fear from their oncoming storm. In a fun little twist, once Hemsworth's team gains the child, they are brutally betrayed by the son's guardian, Saju, a former black ops solider, portrayed by action-star-in-the-making Randeep Hooda.
Directed by Sam Hargrave, who worked as a stunt coordinator and second unit director on a number of Marvel movies, he follows in the footsteps of Chad Stahelski (John Wick) and David Leitch (Atomic Blonde). Showing more than hyper-stylized fight scenes, of which there are plenty, Hargrave beautifully choreographs an 11-minute, single-shot scene that even Sam Mendes (1917, Spectre) would find impressive.
Hemsworth brings brunt physicality to the role as well as the requisite levels conflict. The twinkling Thunder God's eye has been replaced with a study of seriousness, which was a welcome turn following the depressing aloofness shown in his Endgame character. Most of all, Hemsworth is convincingly believable in a rather unbelievable role in a most ridiculous movie.
Extraction has all the tropes of an 80s action movie. Of course, if Ovi was a blond woman there would have been the obligatory romance scene. Instead, there is the all-too short bromance between Hemsworth and David Harbour, whose affable charisma deserved longer screen time. Extraction is R-rated theater in single-minded pursuit of a single-minded goal: thoughtless entertainment. With that, Netflix has extracted a win. | 7 |
Season 3 is a liberal agenda pushing, anti-man, mess. | 3 |
I have said time and time again that Tarantino is an extremely overrated director and this movie definitely doesn't change my mind. The first thing I want to say is what was the deal with the ridiculous amount of feet shots in this film. Was a bit weird to be honest.
I also feel this movies non linear plot really let it down. The movie was going on and didn't go anywhere and just kinda felt boring for most of it. And I believe it's runtime definitely didn't help it. Now all that being said the reason this movie is mediocre and not outright bad is because of the amazing performances from its all star cast. 5.8/10. | 5 |
I have already watched Season 1 and reviewed it. This review is about Season 2.
Season 2 ended with closing all the loops that were there except a cliffhanger in the last scene. This season is more gripping than the previous one.
This is a brilliant show with some brilliant acting by all the actors. Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Saif Ali Khan have put on a stellar show. Other than that each character got their own arc and have fulfilled their part.
A must watch! | 8 |
I just seen the first episode, but bored to hell * The Falcon character is bad * The actor as a Falcon is bad * The storyline of Falcon is terrible, unbelievable. | 4 |
It's actually 0, absolute abrupt chaos with no coherence | 1 |
I thought this would be better than the first, and in some respects it was, but in others it was the plot of Superman 2. He really has his powers on the fritz so that he becomes a regular dude and quits? The acting isn't as good as the first either. Doc Occ is pretty cool, but parts of the ending are abysmal. I actually think the first one is better. Even if Aunt May hits a villain with an umbrella. It's all a bit... extra... in a desperate kind of way.
It feels like it's trying to deviate from Raimi's horror aesthetic and shots, so much so it doesn't know what it is anymore. The poses are more awkward and there's more CGI, which now looks more dated. It's fine, just not as good as the first, which wasn't a masterpiece by any means. | 6 |
First off, I'm a 60 year-old white male and this movie wasn't even made for me.
If your at all interested, then go see this movie. It's funny. It has a lot of funny lines and scenes.
The recreation of the set is incredible, but maybe a little vidual indigestion. You adapt quickly.
The characters are really good. Perfect for what they are expected to be. Both the main Barbie and Ken are excellently portrayed.
There is a feminist overtone, but there is no lack of irony and mockery of both sexes. No one is asking you to be moved or to change your political or other persuasion. Just relax and enjoy it as a comedy.
The people who criticize this movie for political or macho reasons are way out of bounds and are too easily swayed by today's political environment. This move is a funny comedy that might actually open your eyes to a feminist point of view of you choose to absorb it. If not, you'll still laugh and call it a good time. | 7 |
I was surprised after watching this movie with A class level 😎 | 10 |
Harry Potter without the fun. It's like after 2 seconds you can predict every single plot point. And everyone whispers and speaks very slowly. Supposed smart people making dumb decisions. | 1 |
But it's still my favorite MCU Disney+ show to date.
This show has one of, if not the best acted episode and scenes out of all MCU movies and shows combined. And you know what episode I'm talking about. The writing in that episode was just near perfect.
But it also had fairly mediocre episodes that the writing lacked there.
First of all, the most noticeable bad thing about this series that anyone can spot, is the bad CGI it has in the first episode's chase scene and one particular scene in the finale. Other than those, this show had good CGI and some amazing scenery, but unfortunately those two scenes lowered down the quality a bit and I wish they worked on them a little bit more because the cinematography and overall CGI of this show is good. Marvel has been lacking lately in the CGI.
The main and most important positive about this show is how well-acted it is. All actors do a great job but Oscar Isaac is just on another level and in my opinion delivers the best performance in the MCU.
The music and cinematography are also top-notch and elevate the show.
But this show is ultimately disappointing because of multiple reasons.
First of all, this is a problem that I've had with the Disney+ shows, especially with Hawkeye. It's the 6-episode formula and time constraint they have.
There is so much potential for this story and character that I cannot ignore the fact that this show could've benefited so much from more episodes and more seasons.
They might make new seasons for it, sure. They haven't announced it yet, and they probably will. But that doesn't change the fact that they still worked under these limits and made the show this way and had to cram everything in just 6 episodes and rush everything especially in the finale, just like Hawkeye had to.
But, it's unfair to say that the director and writers didn't do a good job of giving us all these plotlines about this character from different comics under these limits and constraints. It's just that this issue is something that has bothered me about these Disney+ shows and is obviously holding these shows back from reaching their full potential.
Another thing that bothered me a lot in the last episode was the annoying clichés and tropes that I talked in depth in my spoiler review of that episode. Let's just say that the writing of the finale isn't the best.
There is also this quick-cut thing they do that you will know it when you watch the show, that was interesting at first, but made the finale worse for me because it was overdone and ruined and important moment.
Other than these problems, the show is actually good and a solid 8 for me because I enjoyed most of it and you can't ignore the brilliant acting of Oscar Isaac, and also that it was the most different - at least different looking - thing MCU has done and had little connection to MCU and wasn't a reference-fest to other shows and movies.
So it's a good show, but has some flaws and suffers from the same problem other shows have suffered. | 7 |
Make me feel like a kid on a Sunday morning but with much bigger budget. Spiritual successor to the original TV series. Make more. | 8 |
There is a difference between humorous and childish. Shazam has its fun moments, but overdosing the exploitation of Its Protagonist stupidity and ignorance, to the point I start dispising him. The last half an hour is definitely out of control. | 6 |

Who write this script? So climax... really bad! This movie can be the best but they need good script writers. Hope they will fix it in episode 3.

All the psuedu intellectuals will praise it. I'm a common man and I tell it like it is. This movie had not real plot or direction. I was not rooting for any of the characters. Dialogues were the only part that kept me hooked but I will be honest just because it was clever doesn't necessarily mean it had the greatest dialogues ever. Talking about direction, screenplay and cinematography. I found some things to be really unique. The way some things were done or shown. The acting was also great. And that's about it. The second half of the movie got a little tedious and I fell asleep. What I'm trying to say is it's a little too long which I think was unnecessary. My verdict - Dialogues 7/10, Acting 7/10 Camera work and direction - 6/10, Story - 3/10. Overall - 5.75/10 rounding it up to 6/10. | 6 |
'6 Underground' can't decide whether it wants to be another 'R.I.P.D.', 'Mission Impossible', or James Bond. It also can't decide whether it wants to be a comedy or drama. However, if you can subdue your logic thinking ability, you will have a lot of fun with this film. Just don't take it too seriously.
'6 Underground' blends so many genres into one film, so much so that the dramatic - and emotional - moments are not really taken seriously due to the constant humor. Rather view it as an action comedy and you will be satisfied. The action sequences are incredible. The stunning visuals and photography are unique and I'd probably watch this just for these action scenes - and the awesome soundtrack! Every frame is beautifully shot. Fresh from the latest 'Transformers' series entry, director Michael Bay is once again pushing action to the limits, with incredible stunt work. From a collapsing swimming pool on top of a 90-story building to magnetizing an entire yacht, the film offers scenes we've never seen before. The future of action movies has arrived.
The film suffers from numerous inconsistencies and lack of character background and development, but as I said, if you don't take it seriously, this is one hell of an action packed thrill ride! | 6 |
...becomes agenda driven. A rare whodunnit movie where you know what happened early in the film and then wait to see if they get away with it. Problem is that after the reveal it turns into an agenda movie about immigration that works...but isn't what the audience really wanted. The guilty party is obvious in today's world but by the time you get that reveal...you no longer cared about whodunnit. | 5 |
I love a car chase. This movie starts with a car chase, so I figured that I'd be on to a winner. What seemed like hours later (which was actually about 20 minutes), the car chase was still happening and I was bored.
The action is punctuated with a near constant stream of flash-backs and needless exposition which is I think, the reason why it was just so boring. The constant back-and-forth is required to fill in the gaps that are created by the incoherent storyline and an near absolute lack of a plot.
Normally I'm happy to let an action movie just wash over me and to enjoy the action, but with this it was impossible. | 2 |
Unfortunately this show feels like the "Saint Seiya" of the new generation in the sense that it was innovative for it's time but unfortunately like Saint Seiya after the power 1, there is a power 2, then a hidden power 3, then one that nobody knew of power 4 and so on, it gets boring and no longer follows the physics of the anime and instead its science fiction of science fiction.
At this point as I watched season 4 part 2 I had hoped they would end it but I found more of the same non sense and unfortunately I have to leave it alone at this point as it is no longer entertaining because they keep coming up with new impossibilities.
The first season alone I would have rated 10, season 4-2 a solid 4.
7 Average I think, hopefully they will end it on the next and not go the path of the Walking dead where it was extended just because there was nothing else to produce. | 7 |
A step up from iron man 2 that's why I am giving this movie a 4 iron man 2 I gave a 2 rating the story in this movie I thought was better than iron man 2 the first 35 minutes of this movie was the best then it slowed down but it didint slow down to much still kept its pace just enough I'm going to start collecting all the marvel films now but I will leave thor until last because it's not my favourite | 4 |
Well I went to the cinema to see The Matrix. Everybody had told me that it was one of the best movies they had seen. Well it has some great special f/x but nothing more, The acting is terible and the plot has more holes than a bowl of Cherrios. Soo if you wana see a good movie with f/x see Jurassic Park.
2/4 Stars
Tank you Very Much | 4 |
For a 2 hour movie I did not expect a whodunit reveal to happen so soon, which killed the vibe for me. I was less interested in the way of which the truth will come to light. The psychological thriller of investigators closing in was lost on me. I'm not yet sold on detective Blanc, he gets the job done but he's nothing extraordinary. That final explanatory sequence was pretty convenient and over the top.
All in all it's a murder mystery, it's following the necessary steps but it's nothing outstanding or unique. Bunch of people with motives, bunch of mistakes resulting in unfortunate events and one keen observer with a particular way of speaking. The base is there, it just needed something more to be better and more memorable. | 5 |
Some shows are just better then they have the right to be, this is one of them. A funny and entertaining whodunit. The characters, pacing and a surprisingly great performance by Selena Gomez all come together to make this one of the best new shows in a long time. The mysteries are engaging, funny, heartwarming and sad, all at the same time.
The three unlikely wannabe podcasters placed against the backdrop of NYC is a delight. I can't wait for season three. | 10 |
After going to the theater and watching this movie, I have come to the conclusion I should have stayed home, saved my money and watch paint dry on a wall, anything would have been better than that flop. | 1 |
The movie has a very nice direction throughout, it however gives a wrong message to society. The Park family was not doing any wrong to kim family , they have earned money by their hardwork and luck. The kim family did all wrong means to enter the house and slowly slowly they became careless of their responsibility. Mr Park and his wife were decent people, but the movie did not talk about it, rather it tries to justify the murder of Mr Park by Kim family. | 3 |
The story so extremely well told, with excellent acting and directing. Just a pity that the science is so disgustingly wrong. Like, not even close. I get enhancing for the drama, but stories like this is the reason why we have to argue with people whether the world is round. I encourage you to go read the actual story and take this series for what it is is; mindless entertainment. Do not trust the science. | 4 |
Extremely lighthearted to the point I was never concerned about the wellbeing of any of the main characters. The plot was a typical origin story, new powers, adjusting to his new role etc..as recent as this movie tries to be, the jokes are very dated, as is his lame dance(very 2016). This isn't a movie I'd recommend and definitely don't need to see a sequelz | 4 |
This has to be one of the most boring unoriginal films I've ever seen. I was so angry I felt like getting my money back. The plot was something a 10 year old could think up and the acting, if you can call it acting was so bad I thought i was watching a low budget improv schools last effort at acknowledement before it closes down. Daniel Craig's accent, what the hell was that supposed to be. They should all be very ashamed. | 1 |
I am not a big fan of SRK but this movie has something that every fan should watch, i couldn't believe that SRK can act this kind of role too, he is a complete genius , Standing ovation to SRK for his brilliant acting, movie is well directed and very well written. this is the best movie of SRK till date , action is superb, background score is very good ..this is story of a fan and superstar .. must watch for all the movie lovers, earlier years SRK didn't delivered good content movie but this time he nailed it, he steals the show, he is playing the role of Gaurav which is villainous , extreme villain. Movie released in dubai, it was houseful , after watching first show i came here to give review. thanx. hope you like the movie and watch it with your family. | 10 |
I see a lot of people are unhappy about the historical accuracy of 'Argo'. As someone who knows little about the story behind this film, I feel unable to comment on if or just how inaccurate it is. What I can say though is that, as a piece of entertainment, 'Argo' is well-made and interesting.
I liked the informative start to the film - I assume that bit was accurate at least? It makes for a refreshing change to the many biographical films that give little or no background to the events that occur and instead rely on the existing knowledge of the audience.
'Argo' is a well-made and, at times, unexpectedly funny film. Historical inaccuracies aside, 'Argo' is solid is every department, with some especially impressive acting performances. | 7 |
The opening 20 minutes is full of dialogue. But unlike your average Tarantino movie, this dialogue is loud, fast and above all, utterly pointless. Without subtitles you struggle to keep up with what's going on, who's who, who wants what and who's doing what. It's just a complete mess. It eventually calms down and we start to learn a bit more about Sandler's character and his life. Unfortunately Sandler's character is not very likeable and you end up not caring about his journey or outcome and are instead gripped by some of the other characters. There are a few tense moments but it isn't enough to save this ultimate mess of a film. Having endured the film for over 2 hours the ending leaves you feeling quite disappointed and wondering what the point of all of it was. Contrary to some reports, Sandler's performance is not worthy of an oscar nomination. There will be far better films and performances to grace our screens this year. | 5 |
Nothing happens in the movie. I have no idea why some of the characters from the previous film appear in this one, they just appear, say hi, and continue appearing during the rest of the movie for no reason. There is barely any story, and the little that is, makes no sense and at the end of the movie, it has like 3 plot twists that make even less sense. They introduce like 7 new characters, and no one does noting nor appear for more than 10 minutes only to do exposition. What the hell happened, this first one was kinda decent, but in this one, everything just went to hell. | 4 |
This is definitely one for the fans of the franchise. If you have not read Moonnight previously you won't have a CLUE what is going on. No flashback scenes, back story etc just straight into chaos.
The trailer looked good but I've just watched the first episode and was left scratching my head.... not a clue.
I'm sorry, I can't get pass the very poor English accent ( big fan of Oscars previously work). | 4 |
An unmitigated pile of crap!
The most irritating music I have ever been subjected to in a movie and a lame plot that never gives people the chance to get to know any of the characters.
Soulless and boring are two of the more positive things I can say about the movie.
Shot on a minimal scale this does not do justice to what was an immense undertaking that saved the British army from complete annihilation.
A waste of 106 minutes of my life that I will never get back.
Do yourself a favour, don't bother with this piece of junk. | 1 |
Evelyn Wang and her husband Waymond run a laundry. Times are tough and they're in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service. There's also some niggle with their daughter and her father is a constant source of belittlement and scorn. Now Waymond wants a divorce. Could things have turned out differently for Evelyn, maybe in a parallel universe?
The plot summary for this movie intrigued me immensely: the idea of exploring how things might work out if you'd plotted a different course or, more broadly, the idea of parallel realities. The actual product, however, is far less engaging or coherent.
The lack of engagement begins immediately. The Wangs' everyday life is a manic, unfocussed existence and just following this for the first 20 minutes or so was fairly annoying. It doesn't get any better once the multiverse concept is introduced, this just being an excuse for random detours and well-choreographed but meaningless action scenes.
It's like a typical pretentious concept-driven sci fi/fantasy movie: paper over the lack of plot with a concept and developments that are so radical and in-your-face that viewers are fooled into thinking there's something clever there, when there isn't. Then, to make it seem even more important, have the movie go for 140 minutes when 100 minutes would have been sufficient.
Every now and again there is a profound moment but due to the preceding scenes being all empty random action there's no context and the impact is diluted.
Disappointing. | 4 |
If you want to make Sherlock Holmes, why not showing the original story. I am sure original story would have been awesome.. Again, you are a super genius writer/producer. Why not creating a new story with a new name? It's all about business! Using the famous Title, and twisting it in every possible way. Taking the main story from book then mocking it and changing it as they wish. The writer and producer should be treated for mental illness. It doesn't have any originality. It failed to follow the original series. Sherlock Holmes is a private detective, not a police. In book, He loves to solve complex cases.But, in this show, he is targeting Moriarty like a police chasing a criminal. I mean,almost every episode is connected to Moriarty!!! This show is a disgrace towards Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They should have changed the name of this TV series.. | 1 |
The story of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner Doctor John Watson who begin their adventure in solving mysteries in the modern century.
Season 1: Famous detective stories that appear differently. It has a time set in the 21st century, which of course the story refers to a more modern case. Sherlock started its premiere season with three pretty good episodes. Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Martin Freeman as John Watson, they seemed to perform superbly and fit into their roles. Cumberbatch style capable of perfectly displaying and bringing the role of Sherlock to life. This series has a different story from the general Sherlock story. Featuring Sherlock who lives in modern times but does not forget the characteristics of the original story. This season has a unique and interesting story in its first three episodes. Able to display a good and simple but elegant mystery story. Have complicated conflicts in solving problems. It was the first season that directly introduced Moriarty as Sherlock's main enemy. However, in solving the case or the way Sherlcok reveals the truth, it is done with a quick dialogue so it is necessary to repeat what was said. | 9 |
I will start by saying the acting is phenomenal. Oscar Isaac always delivers. Ethan Hawke is great and the supporting cast holds their own. However, if this show was named something else, I would give it a higher rating. I feel like the show has almost nothing to do with Moon Knight and just highlights the personal disorders and mental instabilities he has. For this to have only one season, I would have liked to get to know Moon Knight a little more. | 3 |
I rarely give low reviews but this film is really terrible! Don't understand the 10/10's it's been given at all. I guess full marks for ingenuity and trying something new - whole film on a laptop, but the acting is terrible - especially the female cop not believable at all. I made it just over half way then hard to turn off, not wasting any more time on it. | 4 |
I enjoyed season 1, a few episodes into season 2 and it just got old. They were also pushing some political crap in season 2, which I normally tolerate for a good show, but it was no longer worth it. | 5 |
Just when I thought we'd be through with these never-ending Deniro, Scorsese, Pacino, Pesci mob movies, we get one more.
It feels like another one of these annual, stupid Diane Keaton attempts to make a movie.
Y'all are too old, too trapped in your stale characters, and no longer interesting to watch. It isn't cute.
Deniro plays his only character he's always played, which is tired and worse now that he's so darn old and feeble. Pesci is the same charter as any movie he's done. Pacino as well but he is the most believable via CGI.
This "story" has been filmed about 50 times. When is it enough??! We get it - there were a lot of shady losers in our east coast history. Dear Hollywood and Scorsese, the rest of America is tired of these stupid NJ/NY gang movies. Find another genre and leave this one to its death, puh-lease. | 2 |
This has to be one of the big disappointments of the year - a 2.5 hour conveyor belt ride to Snoozeville. It had none of the high-energy excitement and pizazz of the Avengers, and none of the depth of this year's Spidey film. Instead, it just hovered somewhere in the middle, kind of like a flatline on a heart monitor. When are some Hollywood bigwigs going to the get the fact that packaging together the top 20 macho clichés from the past 50 years does not make for a compelling story? When are they going to realize that it's disappointing to go to a big budget film in 2012 and find out the whole thing is essentially a remake of Rocky III (the Clubber Lang one). Honestly, I half expected the villain Bane to turn to the camera and say, "I pity the fool!" Only, in this case, the fool was me. | 5 |
I am so tired of shows and movies where the "heroes" are dumb as ****. What goes on in the heads of the writers when they let the main characters act like they are literally the dumbest people on the planet. When you do that you basically assume that your audience is equally dumb.
How about coming up with an actual clever story, make the evill guys actually smart, so that your heroes face a challenge and need all their wits and their actual super powers to win.
At some point I began to cheer for the bad guys. I wanted them to kill those brain dead super heroes, because they cause more damage to the world with their combination of super powers and stupidity than the worst villain could possibly do.
This show could be so much more. | 6 |
This is highly stylized movie and if you like fantastical realism, you might like this. Because it was such a quirky, fantastical style, it failed to pull me into any real emotions, but for the genre, I think it was probably well done. I would have preferred a more serious, dramatic version of this story. | 5 |
Well, if you see a movie that only a few days after it's release, go into Top 250 and is universal acclaimed in Metascore (96/100), the first thing you think is "this is going to be a masterpiece". I went today with a lot of expectations for this film, but pff, sometimes it was boring. Only the character of Clooney makes you laughs sometimes, but when he isn't anymore, everything it's not great. I must say, the acting was really great. The only problem was the screenplay, it was pure and boooring. I don't think this is the best space movie or the best movie of 2013. Sometimes, I just could't wait to end. Anyway, I must say: The use of 3D was the only great thing. It was really awesome because all the movie is in space, and it was a great experience. So, if you gonna watch this movie, see it in 3D, 2D will be more boring than it is.
7/10 only for the 3D :/ | 7 |
The umbrella academy is so bad. It's a trash, a garbage, a ton load of crap. I hate the plot, the characters, the music, and everything else. I really hate the fact that I've finished all 10 episodes of it. Worst series I've ever watched. | 1 |
This was entertaining enough. Just short enough, not overly long. Fairly humorous at times. Wasn't great, but wasn't awfully bad. I don't regret not seeing at the theater, but I did enjoy it enough. The mid-credits scene was a treat. | 7 |
Make no mistake, this is a kids movie- there is absolutely no way that this was targeted towards an adult audience. I say ages 10-15 are likely the intended audience here and with that in mind, it's not a horrible movie. There are a lot of moments that as an adult I have a hard time appreciating, mainly because the writing is so dumbed down (see "kids movie") that there are many things in the script that force an eye roll. Besides it treading dangerously into Power Rangers territory, it can be rather entertaining at times. I didn't hate it, but I definitely wouldn't watch it again. 5/10 | 5 |
I love Daniel Craig. I did not love him in this movie. As a Southerner with a thick accent, I really resent a Brit trying to use a southern accent. Another issue is a mystery without surprises. The plot was a little predictable and irritating. | 5 |
A cheesy parody of video games. This entire movie is unnecessary and overall shallow. The only good thing happend in the real world but guess what, the protagonist is an AI. How are you supposed to relate to him if his existence is debatable and has like zero feelings.
Ryan Reynolds is brilliant but the character and the writing is awful. Taiki Watiti is perfect but Antwon's dialog is terrible and his motivation is purely money. | 4 |
Can't praise this slow burner enough, until the end!
Script is on point, story on point, come to think of it, this film is on point, right up to the point when the credits roll!
Some of the plot lines could have been give a little more depth, substance and better dialogue to support them, but overall I enjoyed myself whilst taking it all in.
The location and videography all deliver, their new house left me scratching my head a little!
Now the WTF moment, that ending!!!
You know when you're listening to your fav rave choon and some idiot knocks the deck and the needle flys off into an alternate universe, that look on ya face, that's when i got with the ending of this film. | 6 |
Fanboys are ruining the movie industry. 9,1? Really? This movie is far from the best movie of all times. It's insane and sad. Disney is cancer. | 4 |
Ok. So I'm now 42 minutes in and bored out of my gord. Clearly we are going to see lots of impressive 'real' shots of jets flying, pilots doing dramatic shouting etc. But really? The first one was cheesy crap but it was the 80s so somewhat excusable. But for 2022 this is very poor.
Tom gives it 100% in every film and I've enjoyed most of the Mission Impossible films but this is drivel. It really is. It's aimed at 12 year olds who like the idea of being a fighter pilot? Maybe. Don't know. Is Tom supposed to be in his 40s in this? Clearly lots of cosmetic work done which on a Captains salary is impressive. Drivel. I give it 4 for the amount of flying effort that clearly went into it. Edit: for the big mission, could they not have used unmanned drones? Just saying. Drivel. Chr1st on a bike. Just got to the end. Drivel. | 4 |
Level 1: You are stuck in ice, and air is running out. How do you get by this level ? < bleep >< bloop >... I played more engaged and sophisticated games on my C-64 in the 80s. Parker Posie is a GREAT actor. But, holy crap, give her a script... Better direction... better editing... And sure, I will suspend disbelief like any audience member, but please do some BASIC reality checks like how ice freezes etc...That same sloppiness is everywhere :( had hopes.... | 2 |
I'm fed up with modem shows looking like a brown/grey visually blurry mess, with garbage post-processing filters plastered over the image making everything look super dark and super bright. Do these directors and visual directors even know how illumination and colour works in the real world?
The acting is over done, the drama is pathetic. Oh look everyone is a miserable and a disgusting wretch, does that make it enjoyable to watch. No it does not.
On top of the pathetic visuals, the characters mutter and swear curses every second sentence. Personally, I'm fed up with the amount of swearing and God/Jesus related cusses and other foul pathetic language written by the completely mentally devoid script writers of hollywood.
What on earth has happened to HBO. I just did a rewatch of the excellent 'Chernobyl' and it was masterfully made, and script wise was perfect.
I've had enough of this utter ugly dross and I won't stand and witness it any more without stating my opinion on it.
1/10 miserable garbage, try again and cut out the filters, the foul language, the disgusting grey/brown visuals, and the miserable over-dramatic story writing. | 1 |
A trash spin-off where time & money could be spent in better use. The "dragon" family is uninteresting, predictable and shallow in development and except for the dragons the whole show felt broken, sputtered along, and a snoozefest.
It felt at times more like a boring docudrama and if some stuffy scientist came in with talk over narrative I wouldn't have been surprised.
Even the fight scenes were half done, though if there is anything good to come from this dismal yawner was the acting by some of the main cast.
Sadly the writing, the world, the painting out of Martin's masterful novels, was shockingly unappealing & disappointing. | 1 |
The whole story is made up. Sure, there are female chess champions, There is no Beth. Harmon chess champion. Anya Josephine Marie Taylor-Joy does a fantastic job of making this character historically believable. But there is no 1950s US female chess champions that took the world by storm.
I have to point this out because I've run into several women who've seen this series and believe this character is real. She's not. As an amateur chess player they had me fooled too.
Good characters, great lead actress, good production, Not a lot of action. Anna Taylor-Joy's performance carries the show. | 8 |
In a lifetime of watching movies, the hardest I had getting through a whole movie was one called "The Sicilian" (1987). That was until I saw "Inception." The 148 minutes of sitting in my seat during its showing was worse than when I had a 16 hour flight to Australia with needles and pins running in my back and legs the whole way. Cillian Murphy is fabulous but our local high school could have supplied a better ensemble cast.
The story was conceptually all right. But DiCaprio's headlining the movie helped to make it a disaster with his all of his excessive, over-dramatized, wide-eyed looks and theatrics. He's neither a sympathetic or interesting character. Put him in a suit, slick back his hair, and grow a little facial stubble, but he still looks like a teenager pretending to look like a grown up. | 2 |
Great show. But you can tell they get the budget scraps after stranger things lol.
Very unique storyline with every episode ending in a solid cliffhanger. | 9 |
I was very aware that I was watching a film. I couldn't buy into the things that were happening, it all seemed a bit too "Hollywood" for me, especially the scene involving the British troops. Why were they so disorganised and useless under fire compared to the mighty US? They weren't even wearing uniforms!!! They had drank all the water and seemed to do absolutely nothing while the shoot-out took place. I was glad to hear REAL soldiers slate this film as my suspicions were vindicated. The idea that there are guys recklessly disarming bombs when they can be safely detonated is a joke. I think my criticisms were summed up by another review that praised the film for its "realistic story", they proceeded to say "I felt like I was actually in Irak"...yes, "Irak"...maybe this film is exactly like Irak, but it shares little resemblance with Iraq. | 4 |
Absolutely rubbish movie. Waste of time!! Poor direction and a bad storyline filled with unnecessary songs. | 2 |
