There is very little "wow" moments in the movie. The theme of VR is already presented in Minority Report, it's disappointing after 15 years. The only thing I learned from this movie is why Facebook has been acquiring VR companies. | 6 |
Horrible. That doesn't come close to describing this mess. I only give it one extra star for Ryan Reynolds being fairly personable. The may be the worst action movie I've ever seen. | 2 |
So I finally went to see the movie Wonder women !! My expectations were high, but as great as the expectation the bigger is the disappointment.
Wonder women is indeed A good movie, but it is extremely Overrated compering the film to the Dark Knight it is just injustice !! as far for the main star Gal Gadot's her acting was o.k, it is clear that she dose not have a lot of range like her co-stars and she was given very little dialogue,and when she spoke she sounded technical and emotionless, but she is grate with the physicality part cant take that away from her. Honestly,the film is Overrated, maybe is because gender issues i don't know they keep saying "best film that was Directed by a woman" don't really get that. The first and second set were nice, but in the third act starting being messy and boring. overall its a fun summer movie, not the best movie i have ever seen but good. | 5 |
The plot is trash, the overall is trash, the cgi look like a video game, the acting was good. This movie is rush in the ending. MCU phase 4 is boring. Like No Way Home is too much fan service. People are just blind because of the nostalgia. | 4 |
I saw this when it came out. Overall it's a good film with an excellent story but music was constantly playing in the background and amped up way too loud at times, making it almost impossible to hear the dialogue. At the time I read that it wasn't just the theater, it was how Nolan decided to do it. He wanted to have the music to tell the story or something like that. That's my only complaint really. Had the sound not been a problem, I would have given this a 10. It's a real shame that something so simple was made complicated for a really kind of dumb reason. Hopefully Oppenheimer doesn't have the same problem. I'm planning on seeing that this weekend. | 7 |
Most appreciating thing istopic of this web series.Full family comedy show. There is no vulgarity, no violance, no bad poiltical scenes. Total classic Web Series with masterpiece acting of Jitendra Kumar, Rghuvir Yadav & Neena Gupta. Very short episodes can't irritate you. | 9 |
Honestly I skipped through a lot of parts because I was bored the whole time. I really enjoyed season 1 of daredevil It was interesting But this season seemed lackluster Point dexter was the best thing about season 3 And he wasn't even the main character That's basically the reason I continued watching it. He made it interesting at times
Overall nothing much has changed Been singing the same song since season 1 | 5 |
Rather watch a plain white wall for 2 hours. Some bits are funny and by bits i mean 2 minutes of the movie. | 1 |
Honestly, I was expecting more from Christopher Nolan. The man is capable of unique vision, of scope that comes across only every once in a while. Such as seen in Inception and The Dark Knight. But this? This is still a good movie, but that's all. It's not great, mainly because of limitations in storytelling, dialogue and style.
The biggest problem is that Nolan's faults shine through more than usual. His over-reliance on exposition dialogue, his longwindedness and tendency to linger too long in certain scenes. In most of his movies you get the sense that he had one idea too many. Well, in this he had easily two or three ideas too many. This could have been a two hour movie, without a doubt, and it would have been better for it.
It also seems to have problems deciding what it's trying to be. Is it a hard scifi epic along the lines of 2001: A Space Odyssey, or something more leaning towards drama and so called space opera. Certain scenes lean more towards the former, some towards latter, and they don't mesh at all.
That being said, it's a fine movie. First of all, it's absolutely gorgeous. I have slight problems with the designs of the actual planets, but every single shot of space is jaw-dropping. I also like that they went and paid actual scientists to figure out what a black hole might look like, among other things. That shows dedication and certainly makes for a very memorable visual.
The cast is also superb. The problems with the characters stem from the script, not the actors, and all of them have great chemistry together. One of the underlying themes in this movie is the relationship between father and daughter. Both Matthew McConaughey and Mackenzie Foy, as well as Michael Caine and Anne Hathaway make for a great pair and I have no complaints about their performances.
Alas, I just cannot call Interstellar a great film. The ending alone would ruin it for me, but the whole journey is so needlessly long and slow that I never got into it. The movie has a lot of good ideas - the dying Earth, the robots, the black hole's affect on space-time - but those ideas are poorly realized and the whole just isn't as good as Nolan's previous work. It's worth watching, certainly, and it's not a bad film, not at all. Just a deeply flawed one. | 6 |
On the 2nd episode now and im still bored. We need to see new things, something unexpected. So far everything is a typical action series. Wandavision didnt give me this feeling. I can pass the 3rd episode and watch it when the 4th is released. | 5 |
I must have missed this one when it came out because I didn't know what I was getting when I caught it on cable but I was greatly surprised by how clever and funny it was. The characters are great fun and the plot just seems effortless in it's ability to make you forget you are watching a movie and just flow with it. Jason Segel is convincing as a lovable loser and Russell Brand's character is just retarded funny. A great date movie with all the right pieces, the fake TV show Kristen Bell is on is hilarious and she is very cute in this too, but the show stealer is Mila Kunis who can be both beautiful and approachable at the same time. Do not miss this great comedy. | 8 |
I like the tension of this show. I feel like I was with them all the time . I felt exactly every emotion and I think actors are brilliant ! This whole show is just like a huge journey. Actually, I felt like Bonnie , sitting in the back seat listening and driving with them. | 9 |
Do you remember that feeling after "the red wedding?" The feeling of disbelief and anguish? This show made me feel the same way in many moments. Granted, the kid's acting is a bit awkward, but most kids are in movies and shows. However, the storyline is quite remarkable of a feat. I cannot wait for season 2! | 9 |
...and that's just in the first 20 min. I came to the reviews to determine if i should even bother continuing and was so surprised to see the high rating! The high star reviews are all pretty similar and the low stars, as well. Theres some films that are just too long and over rated, like Contact and AI; I think this might fall in that category. The soundtrack is this incessant, overbearing chuch organ music that feels more like it's interfering with the film than supporting it. But is it even sci fi? I think people confuse paranormal as only belonging to the realm of death, ghosts. But what is time travel? It's not sci fi unless we say that gurus in the 13th century were space men. I'm really just filling up the 600 character expectation now. Not sure why that's a thing. | 5 |
As a HUGE james Cameron fan make that fans my wife and i were let down it started out promising but quickly became boring and the story to us seemed to be basically the repeat of the original just not as good. Part 3 looks to be more of the same this will not be anywhere near as successful as the 1st film and it took him 13 years WHY?? It had some brilliant scenes no doubt but after the huge success of the 1st film he should have pulled his HUGE EGO head out of his ass and made the sequel with 2 -3 years TOPS lord of the rings BLOWS this trilogy away already and it didnt take 13 years for part 2. I believe his perfection or OCD or whatever is so way beyond where it needs to be its creating a limited amount of product and with only 100 percent of his visions. He needs to move on from avatar and do it quickly I can tell you this part 3 will bomb!! It wont do 100 million domestically. On a final note him giving the middle finger to fans that boied cause he left without acknowledging them or giving autographs shows what a pompous jerk he us if it wasnt for THOSE fans you wouldn't have the life you have and YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AT THAT PREMIER!! WHAT A JERK!! | 3 |
It's Boxing Day, the pubs are closed and the TV is terrible, so I found myself watching Dunkirk.
Yes, the acting is pretty decent and yes, the cinematography is dramatic, but I couldn't help but find myself being angered by this patriotic borefest.
In a few days Brexit will happen and last week, our government was threatening to put warships in the channel to guard our fishing boats. How did we end up being so at odds with our neighbours again?
How? Because of the sort of jingoistic nonsense in films like Dunkirk.
Scroll forwards to 2020 and more people work in Tescos than are employed by the British Army.
Time to move on... | 1 |
Totally worth watching Unlike all the super hero movies it's abstract thinking I've never read the comic but good one | 8 |
Dull boring barely understand what theyre saying score way too loud
no idea why people marvel at this | 1 |

We are talking 20k years ago... Clean shaven hipsters did not exist then.
No to mention the plot, which would most likely embarrass a five year old - due to its overwhelming simplicity, naivety and complete lack of creative thinking. | 1 |
War – It's kind of funny (but not really) how the word "war" pops up and everyone gets a little on the fidgety side. It's like something is wrong every time when war strikes and all hell breaks loose. That's in our world. That's in our society. But we don't live in the fantasy mind of Stan Lee. We were taught that war or violence, for that matter, solves anything. (Yes, this is how I wanted to start out with this review.) In 2011, we were introduced to a young man who lived in Brooklyn with nothing more than the shirt on his back – Steve Rogers. All he wanted to do was to fight the bad guy. He got his shot when he was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. to become the first superhuman fighting machine, to bring down a ruthless enemy who was plotting an evil that could break the mold of extinction.
In 2014, (just 3 years later), Captain America was synonymous, in the very sense of the word in the hearts and minds of every American. That same evil that he fought as The First Avenger, has now infiltrated the government of the United States of America and corrupting the world system.
In 2016, we thought we got rid of Hydra, but we were dead wrong. The very existence of the organization was to wipe out the world so they can take over and plot against the Avengers. Over the course of a few years' time, Hydra has stopped at nothing to plot against the existence of mankind. In Captain America: Civil War, we see two sets of teams – the government team vs. the heroes. I am not going to say too much about this movie except this – WOW!!!! That's the word I am looking for. Led by an all star-studded cast – Chris Evans and Robert Downey, Jr. lead a cast of incredible talent that could make the world think twice of waging war against one another. It was all because of a little brainwash. (Oops, said too much already).
Joe Johnston who started all of this was just the beginning, but when the Russo brothers (Anthony and Joe) took over – well let's just say that they took this series to a whole new level.
Now, if you have not seen this new movie, then I will not spoil it for you, but I will say this stay a little after, because there is a post-credits scene that you do not want to miss.
All-in-all, Captain America: Civil War exploded! And it will continue to explode. | 10 |
What a brilliant movie this is. Each and every moment in the entire film was so gripping. They have portrayed the reality in the finest way possible. Phenomenal performances by the entire team especially Vicky Kaushal. A true masterpiece all the way and a must watch for ALL Indians! | 10 |
Overrated, contrived mess. This type of movie only exists for the stars that agreed to appear in it, they all play according to typecast. Jackman for instance with his fierce barking and stony face.
Making the bad guys "at war with God" is just lazy, clichéd writing. Very disappointing.
I suppose this is meant to be seen as a detective movie, but it doesn't have any mystery. Everything is simply given to the viewer. In the detective genre, we expect more. There's more mystery to a detective / comedy like "the hangover".
Much of the plot is directly ripped off from the far superior "The Pledge". There, Jack Nicholson shows how to extend one's range. See that instead. | 4 |
Disney tags their corporate brand onto Marvel's 14 year run of bangers, succeeding in ruining everything. The insistence on tagging a 'princess' (this time a barely tolerable America Chavez character that demands sympathy without earning it) into every iteration of their acquired IP, at the expense of story, stakes and relevance means at least another 8-10 years of crap movies enough people will pretend to like until they sell off Marvel and maybe we get some decent movies again. From the all-timers Infinity Wars and Endgame comes this worthless piece of movie-by-committee hot pile of garbage. I hated almost every frame of it. The upside? Thor: Love and Thunder is no longer the worst MCU movie. | 3 |
So many of my friends think this is a tv show for kids. And that is so far from the truth... Just because a show is more light hearted and doesn't have swearing or violence, it doesn't make it necessarily a kids tv show.
This series has iconic and unique characters and character arcs even for the villains, a fascinating magic system, very good world building, and great voice acting. My only regret is that they did not make more seasons of this masterpiece. But I believe that is because of the terrible movie adaptation, which I prefer to pretend doesn't exist... This shows that kid friendly series is not always a series FOR kids... | 10 |
Although the casual way it has been titled leaves it with plenty to answer for, 'Godfather II' rightly remains the only sequel ever to win an Oscar for Best Picture of the year.
With Brando out of the picture the focus has shifted to Michael and much more money was obviously available to spend on the movie itself (with plush production design and cool fifties cars gliding across the screen a recurrent motif).
Robert De Niro as the young Don Corleone brings a lean and hungry look to the part by then completely beyond Brando (by comparison Al Pacino looks much older).
The film is far more ambitious, both technically and thematically, addressing America's changing role in the world rather than just the activities of one family. | 9 |
It can be seen that the director and the screenwriter are not satisfied with simply completing a fairy tale, but the world view is too limited. The film was stuffed with too many dramatic elements, but the arrangement between the main line and the secondary line did not constitute a uniform style, nor did it have enough persuasive logic support. The over-functionalized emotional flow rendering attempts to use "coincidence" to compensate for the constraints of this play, but in fact has little effect. From this perspective, the setting of "Fantastic beasts and where to find them" is both gimmick and cumbersome. | 6 |
The new game of thrones, really enjoying it slow beginning in the first episode but by the half way mark it really picks up | 8 |
It's an okay movie but as a longtime fan of horror the plot was far too predictable and some shots just made no sense and some were far too dark. It also seemed like it wasn't original. | 4 |
The movie was OK. Not that special. With a cast like Henry cavill as sherlock, I started wondering his envolvement but it turns out he barely appears in the movie. Also the mothers part of the movie gets lost in the movie. The reason to her disappearance isn't obvious e the women's right movement also dissapears in the movie. The cast was good but a little wasted in this movie. | 4 |
I liked the show for the most part. It could have been put together in a more coherent manner. A lot of people have been complaining about the flashback scenes because they happen without warning, so you never know what time period you're looking at.
Season 2 will be in 2021, and if those flackback scenes aren't noted better I'm dropping the show. | 6 |
I did not like this film one bit. A tale of rich, bored Americans, wandering listlessly around Tokyo....ecch. Sort of a thin love story milled into a sort of cinema verite puree. Unintelligible dialogue, no subtitles, and often roaring noise (reminiscent of the buzz on my old VHS of A Bout de Soufflé). Truly awful music....Japanese bar jazz and terrible karaoke. People spending $1000+ a night to stay in a flagship hotel in downtown Tokyo develop creeping angst? Hard to buy into this story line.
For me, the most moving parts of the film were a flashing neon sign near the beginning, and a run through a Pachinko parlor somewhere in the middle. The least moving (and a good example of what was to follow for 2 interminable hours) was the lingering opening scene: a fat, stationary American butt. Not my kind of hip. I want my $4 back! | 1 |
For all those who actually have a clue about Sherlock Holmes, this desecration proves that Hollywoood is a dangerous bio-toxin: it kills what it touches. How could they possibly cast an American who doesn't even feel remotely English as Sherlock Holmes (anybody can spell Jeremy Brett?)or Jude Law for the slow-witted Dr Watson? The inane plot, probably whizzed up in a night of Californian fake "champagne" and some controlled substances, has nothing whatsoever to do with any Conan Doyle story, and is seated in a heavily steampunked London, which is a past of not our future, with a number of anachronistic details (radio is mentioned, guns look Far West improved by Luger Corp., pocket watches are of at least 50 years later build, etc). It also exhibits a number of holes the size of a whale. You will be delighted to learn that the finishing touch is to mix in a vaguely Masonic evil secret society à la Angels and Demons. Steer absolutely clear, put sandbags and barbed wire on your DVD player and refuse to get involved with this reinvented chemically pure drivel. | 2 |
OK. I do not get the praise this movie is getting. In short - it has no plot (get from point A to point B), the characters are unbelievable and cliché and have totally unrealistic relationships with one another (eg. they work together as astronauts - which takes a lot of time of working and training together and a lot of team work - but Clooney doesn't even know where Sandra is from, or has she any kids), the acting isn't awful but it's not really good either, Sandra's monologues are ridiculous, the physics are way off, the scenario is ridiculously unbelievable...I could go on and on.
The one thing this movie has going for it is the visual effects which are some of the best I have ever seen, ever! If you must see this movie see it on a big 3d screen but leave your IQ at the door.
I just think it's way, way overrated and dumbed down! | 5 |
Avatar the Last Airbender is one of the finest animated shows to air on television. The characters are engaging, and believable. Constantly evolving, its ongoing plot has depth and intrigue that's simply not available on any other kid's program. The animation is beautiful, the backgrounds gorgeous. Avatar has often been confused for an anime cartoon, because of its high quality animation and Asian theme. It is, in fact, an American cartoon.
When developing Avatar, the creators visited several Asian locations and did considerable research into the culture to make it feel authentic. Each nation (Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, Air Nomads and Water Tribes) is based on a different Asain culture, and have different architecture and fashion. Also, each "bending" form is based on a different martial art form. The animators all took basic martial art classes in the different styles so they could draw them correctly.
An amazing amount of thought and effort went into the creation of this program, and it shows its quality. Avatar is a superb cartoon, enjoyable for everyone. | 10 |
And by "horrible" I mean extremely stupid. Everythig started as a good mistery story but by the time they got to explaining it the things got so phantasmagorical it became unwatcheable. You better stick with the first 5 episodes and try to imagine the 6th yourself, I'm sure you'll do better than the screenwriters. | 5 |
For about 20 minutes, and then it got me good. This is a high quality production, and with a little more means, I'm sure this will be a 10 star show.
Playing the game is not needed to understand the show, but it is fun to recognize characters and monsters.
They did a great job on the first 8 episodes, i hope to see it improve in the next season.
Enough reading stupid review's with spoilers. Go watch the show, it's worth it. | 9 |
Midway through the fourth episode, I'm trying hard to hang on because it's so, so boring.
The series is built upon one simple central idea, but it's actually sparsely featured over the running time. The rest is filler.
More mortal sins impair Devs:
The casting is just terrible. Offerman is very good, the others are bad, the lead girl is just laughable as an actress.
The script is uninteresting and amateurish. Everything seems mechanical, even the twists. The dialogues are often ridiculous and stunningly flat or expositive. Sometimes you have a feeling the lines are written by a kid who's so much proud of his work.
The direction is very millennial-style, along the lines of "let's put a pan here, that's so artistic!... let's have poetic moments of silence, that's crazy! yeah right!"
The worst thing is the pretentiousness that radiates from every single aspect of this production. Direction, script, scenographies, acting, editing, awful artsish music and artsish cinematography (you'll notice some terrible backlightings that strive for atmosphere, but they're just plainly bad lit). Add that badly drawn surreal setting with those characters inside the Devs, and it's clear someone wants to be an artist. It just seems Garland aims for a masterpiece of something, but he's light years away from understanding the tools. So it ends up being irritating, and I mean very irritating. | 2 |
Quick-witted and obnoxious, it's a brilliant little universe-bending tale with a mildly confusing mish-mash of cultural allusions. | 7 |
I really liked this film was backwards and forwards all the way through between stark and Steve Rogers 🤙 | 10 |
Despite having a big dislike for Part II's ending, having a mixed reaction towards the casting of its two lead actors, and the fact that this is a videogame adptation, HBO's The Last Of Us has broken away from the long tradition of mediocre videogame adaptations by being both a faithful and innovating retelling of an iconic tale.
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey shed new light on Joel and Ellie's relationship bringing both more emotion and depth to these characters. Ramsay especially feels like she did her homework. The same way that we now see Robert Downey Jr. As the definitive version of Iron Man, Ramsey is videogame Ellie brought to life. She's that good and her role deserves all the recognition.
It took me 4 episodes to get a feel of what Pedro Pascal was bringing to his own take on Joel. Instead of the strong silent hero type stereotypically portrayed in most videogames, Pascal chose to focus on Joel's humanity and deep anxiety which illustrated a whole new side to the character that couldn't have possibly been portrayed as well in a the game. That's not to say that Joel is not as able or as violent in this version, he's simply portayed in a much more realistic fashion.
The supporting cast is also terrific and I appreciate that they didn't just cast actors based solely on their acting abilities but also took the chance to cast minorities. Standout performances incluse Lamar Johnson, Keivonn Montreal Woodard, Storm Reid, Nico Parker and Scott Shepherd. These actors were able to bring the characters in the game to life and, in my opinion, delivered masterful performances, which is quite a feat.
The scale and the sets of the project are insane. It astounds me that HBO was able to allow these guys to do whatever they wanted, and it paid off. The locations, cinematography, costume design and lighting are gorgeous masterpieces. Most Hollywood productions would kill to be able to work on this kind of project.
All in all, The Last Of Us is a win win. If you're new to this story you get to experience it for the very first time. Lucky you. If you are a fan of the games you will be eagerly anticipating how the show will adapt your favourite moments. It's must watch tv. | 8 |
To say the least, I was pretty excited for this film. I knew what I was going into, so I was able to manage my expectations a bit and because of that, the film met and just passed those. It's good for what it is. What is it? It's a silly yet fun thrill of a good time. It may get a little too silly at times and that may put some people off, but it didn't bother me. The mid credits scene though is a sight to behold and basically makes you forget the faults of the film. Should you watch it? Yes! I just can't promise that you'll like everything about it. I still don't, but I enjoyed it and surprisingly a little more than the first film. | 7 |
Nothing was added to the original. But much emotion was removed. The dialogue timing, the passion, the facial expressions were all dulled. | 3 |
It's deals with what a aspirant suffer in the way of preparing and what after success. | 7 |
Judd Apatow may only have produced this movie, but you feel his influence at every moment of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", and not just by looking at the cast. The comedy derives from absurd situations and bawdy dialog. Again, most people love the movie, it gets a stellar IMDb-ranking... and I am deeply disappointed by the whole thing.
I just don't get everybody's love for Apatow's humor. The jokes are hit-and-miss. There are some scenes in this movie that are completely unnecessary, slowing the pacing down to a point where you keep checking the watch. Some characters are annoyingly unbelievable, like the smoking hot receptionist who just happens to be the nicest, most down-to-earth girl and falls in love with an unattractive slob such as the main character.
Seriously, I'm not asking for much when it comes to comedies, but when a movie gets as much praise as this one, I'm hoping for a little better entertainment. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" does have some good scenes, but all in all it is slightly amusing at best. If you liked "Knocked Up", you're gonna love this. If like me, you can't understand the buzz, wait for the movie to come out on DVD and rent it when nothing else is available. | 3 |
First of all I'd like to state I'm a long time Batman fan... I've seen all the films in the theaters throughout the years and followed the character at least in passing since the about '87. I hated Batman Begins, for the casual movie goer I understood the appeal. It was a big, stupid action film full of poorly conceived pseudoscience and nonsensical plot contrivances. For my taste it deviated far too much from the source material and the nature of the characters(with the notable exception of Johnathan Crane)and I quickly dismissed this often light action show. That being said The Dark Knight is a step in the right direction. Ledger is very good in his portrayal of the Joker. Borderline outstanding. Is he up for the Oscar for his role? Well, given his untimely and unfortunate death its possible. Aaron Eckhart is also fantastic in his role. The film was indeed a necessary darker tone than Begins which I truly appreciated. However, there were still some fundamental flaws to this film that keep it from being anywhere near as great as the Michael Bay crowd would tell you it is. Rachel Dawes, while not as annoying as the self righteous crusader she was portrayed in the first film, is an utterly pointless character and only served the purpose of being a trite plot device in a forced love triangle. She really lacked any real substance or evoked any empathy. None of this was Gyllenhaal's fault, it was merely a poorly written character. The main problem of the film was Bale's Batman though. I was pulling for Bale to play Bruce Wayne since American Psycho hit. I thought he was born for the role and the disappointment I felt from Begins when he failed to live up to my expectations I immediately attributed to Goyer's fluff script. But I acknowledge my mistake now. Originally I thought,upon the announcement of casting, that Ledger couldn't play the Joker. Ledger can play the Joker, its Bale who cannot play Batman. The character was a complete non-entity in this film without confidence, strength, or passion. Essentially this is Bruce Wayne trying to ditch his Batman persona to the first good knight who steps into the public spot light because he can't bag his ex-girlfriend while he wears the cowl. It was borderline sickening and even more so now that the masses have swallowed this up as an accurate portrayal of a beloved character. Even Bale's Batman comes across as a one dimensional parody of a bully. Bale's voice hasn't much improved much in the sequel, bouncing between a slightly more hoarse version of Bruce Wayne's voice and an incoherent growl which leaves the audience wondering how, in the heat of the moment, anyone can really understand him. Those negatives aside one ends up with a solid outing that is slightly better shot than its predecessor although action sequences are still inconsistent and poorly choreographed. It is very much a villain driven piece that left at least me rooting for the monsters of the film to clean house on some of the more annoying "hero" characters. The final act of the film does leave a sour taste in the viewers mouth as it once again relies on a poorly contrived dues en machina scientific machine to save the day and a rather insignificant sacrifice out hero makes in light of the mass anarchy in the streets around him. This sacrifice is rather perplexing given that with the abundant confusion created by the Joker I, and the group I was with, were completely mystified why this character made this "sacrafice" and didn't blame events on the anarchy around them. Anyway, worth seeing for Eckhart and Ledger's performance and really rather good at points... but never that good. | 6 |
Very suspenseful and thrilling. Made very good quality use of the theme of the enemy within. The fighting action, which is rare now, was very good and great. The recent Marvel movie felt like everything was connected, but it was just fun to watch this one movie. I enjoyed it. | 9 |
Because, much of the movie has been made by using of "one single shot" (very linear plot) approach (like in the Birdman) for me, after an about one hour of its runtime "1917" became little bit too much and dull experience. There are long stretches without dialogue, while the movie which is treating one of the titanic events of modern times is largely conventional and intellectually shallow. Actually, the uncomplicated screenplay retreads classic war film themes without anything new to say. At the same time, while watching "1917" there is a sense that you are waiting for an interesting point but that never comes, mostly because audiences really don't need "1917" to tell them in 2020 that war is hell. In the movie, there are two real stars - one is cinematographer Roger Deakins and the other is George MacKay. As much acclaim Dean-Charles Chapman and director Sam Mendes are gettin, it's MacKay that is the break out star. Ultimately, you get the idea that the basic script was one hour long. "1917" is a decent war film, but after all the buzz, I was disappointed.
Rating: 7+ Just because of the first 60 minutes of almost perfection | 7 |
Not sure why they bothered. Not exactly a horror movie and too similar to the original | 3 |
What was there in show other than how to run the show and gain popularity throw marketing and it was not at all funny or exciting or nice dialogue or anything. TVF has gone useless | 4 |
Great show and great cast including those two blokes and that chick and a few other people. | 10 |
Love adventure, superheroes and Marvel, but this movie was awful and completely booring. This should have been made into a 15 minute ending of the previous movie. Don't understand who this appeals to. We were a mixed gender group and all of us just waited for it to finally end. Don't except anything exciting or interesting. The plot is easy to see through and they fail miserably to create any emotional connection with the audience. | 2 |
I am a big fan of Michelle Yeon. In fact, been watching her martial arts movies and other movies that she starred in over the years. Here too she is doing a great job. And her screen husband, Ke Huy Quan is a gem in martial arts. And Jamie is unrecognisable and amazing in her role.
But that is where it ends. The story, utter rubbish from Marvel garbage. The screenplay all over the place. The visual effects, not sure if there is any.
Yes, I endured it for 43 mins as I felt guilty to switch it off earlier due to the nominations and the great actors work.
But this is unwatchable. I really hope the makers take a hard look next time. | 2 |
This is obviously not as good as Game of Throne but, at the same time, we can see something that remind of it. It's not a bad product but I think that everyone can easily predict every single thing in every single episode. There is nothing that surprise about the plot or the characters decisions. It seems that the screenwriters didn't care enough to make an effort to develops something near the greatness of GOT. I'm a little concern about the way this kind of products are developed today. It seems that nobody cares about the coherence of the plot and the characters. The only thing that matters is making money. | 6 |
Just simply terrible. Horrible writing horrible acting absolutely no point whatsoever in this new character who comes out of nowhere and within months knows every single secret they all swore not to tell. Just lazy writing and no reason this went past season 1. | 6 |
I am no fan of typical romance movies. I am no fan of cheesy comedy movies. And I fully despise the traditional romantic comedy. Yet, the Judd Apatow company has succeeded for the third time (following the THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and KNOCKED UP) in getting me to appreciate a romantic comedy. But let's be frank here: calling FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL a typical romantic comedy is doing it a great disservice. Apatow has specialised in merging the male raunchy comedy with the female romantic comedy to create something that is quite watchable, by all audiences.
The story is a rather good one, following the fortunes and misfortunes of a man trying to get over a break-up after a nearly 6 year relationship. While the story is pleasant overall, there are moments that feel rather cheesy, tacky, and over-done or superfluous. Surprisingly that does little to take away from the film. The acting is rather top-notch, as Jason Segel (who also helped pen the screenplay, and is a name to watch for in the future) does a brilliant job of portraying the 'lovable loser' protagonist. Mila Kunis was the standout for me, not only because she was easy on the eyes, but she demonstrated a comedic range and timing befitting of her character. Kirsten Bell is also quite good, as is Russell Brand, who infuses his own brand of humour into this vehicle. The supporting cast is also decent, and there are no discernible weak links. Kudos to Paul Rudd, who has to be one of the most dependable, yet under-appreciated comedic actors today.
The main selling point of this film is its humour. Where typical male comedies go to great lengths to be vulgar and derisive, FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL takes the higher, less disgusting, less raunchy road. That's not to say there's not much for guys to laugh at, as I found that this film was quite hilarious. The other big selling point was the romance, and Apatow made sure that the romantic elements in this movie felt real, and not overly cheesy. The balance between the romantic aspects and the raunchy aspects was almost perfect.
For the third time in a row, the Apatow gang has made me appreciate a 'romantic comedy'. If that's not genius, I don't know what is. 8/10. 3 stars. Will garner a spot on my 'Honourable Mentions' list. Recommended. | 8 |
I don't understand how the original twisted metal story wasn't used. They either didn't research the game's history thoroughly or thought they could do better...either way it's sickening to see what can happen when untalented and out of touch "creators" get their way. It's obvious they don't care about what you like or think. It's all about the right demographic, the intellectually disabled test audiences and of course..MONEY. This garbage streaming service boom we're experiencing just throws money away for content. Quantity over quality should be the new slogan for entertainment today. It's insulting. It's lazy. It's cringey. It's a corporate middle finger to twisted metal and all other original content that started it all. It's all cheap garbage. RIP Jurassic park, little mermaid, Pinocchio, point break, matrix, Ghostbusters, snl, comedy in general, sarcasm, music, and free speech. | 1 |
Season 2 is better than season 1? That's rare for TV series. Season 1 was so-so but season 2 is brilliant! To those who are new to the series, whatever you feel about season 1, don't stop watching the show because you'll be very surprised when you watch season 2 as it is extraordinary and superb! | 7 |
Reviewing this one is pretty much walking on thin ice. Let's start with pros: excellent cast performances (with outstanding Mr. Eijofor towards the end, Mr. Fassbender all the way, Miss Nyong'o and Mr. Dano, whose destiny is to play psychotic maniacs). Let's continue with the mediocre: direction, cinematography and editing. Now let's finish with bad: writing. The story is simply mixed up: writers could not decide what was important and what wasn't. The movie is simultaneously too long and too short. It has some unnecessarily extended scenes (probably symbolic but with no meaning in context), which should have been cut out, and lacks character developing. The final product a superficial portrait of an American antebellum era, even today looking almost as bad as the Nazism. To think that the capitalist economy has been built on theft, robbery, slavery and hypocrisy (justifying it through the Bible) and almost all the guilty got away with it! I guess that's why today white Americans are so patriotic: they not only took the land from the native inhabitants, but built their welfare on slavery and exploiting anyone who was not white (Chinese building railroads and so on). But, this film barely touches any of those problems as it should. It's just an excerpt from one man's (and his book) life. Nothing too deep or truly emotional, almost cheap like the articles in tabloids. This is not a good movie. It could be far more better but it isn't. It has moments (mainly main characters performances; therefore 6 stars) but as a whole fails to deliver an important message on humanity (as well as some political and moral messages) and be a movie that makes sense. And it seemed that director's intention has been just that. Well, he missed this time. | 6 |
Stranger Things (Season 1 and 2) is brilliant. It is a clever combination of elements of Stephen King's "it" and Spielberg's "E.T" as well as combining elements from some of the most recognisable pieces of pop culture from the 80s.
The story is interesting following the disappearance of Will Byers where Winona Ryder plays (arguably) her greatest role in a while. It also follows a girl who has escaped from a scientific facility where people have been experimenting on her.
Without spoiling it, both series are brilliant. They both have there ups and downs (notably S2E7) but overall the story really carries it and the build up is perfect. Effectively there are three stories running alongside all the way through. Joyce and Hopper trying to find Will, Eleven and Mike doing the same thing but also exploring Elevens background and a bit of a teen story with Nancy, Jonathan and Steve.
It takes a push and a few episodes to get you gripped but by the last two you'll be so glad you stuck with it. Eventually, all the stories combine powerfully and to awesome effect.
The brilliance of ST is how its able to utilise the "80s nostalgia feel" in a way other films (like 2017s "it") couldn't. It doesn't focus on it or let it take up screen time, instead letting it sit in the background. The Duffer Brothers truly know how to helm the production.
The one biggest flaw it seems to have is that it doesn't trust the audience enough to let the actors speak for themselves, annoyingly ruining the greatest moments of acting with silly unneeded flashbacks to events that have only just occurred. I wish filmmakers would trust audience members to grasp simple visual storytelling and emotion and not do that. Although this is more of a bad directorial decision than a writing issue.
Stranger Things is well worth the watch, I absolutely love the tone of the show and the music is outstanding as well as perfect for the ambience. I feel it is a prime example of how we are living in the golden age of television. However, I'm only giving it a 9/10 because I feel the show hasn't yet reached its full potential and a few better directorial decisions and writing clean ups would make this show perfect. | 9 |
Amazing spider man for me is far behind raimi trilogy in basiacly every way,starting with garfield version of spiderman,for me garfield was to good looking and to unnerdy for peter parker and in some ways even popular,which peter never was in comics and never acted that way,contuining the film has to many expocition and explaining almost everything and not leaving to audience to figured out themselves,and some cgi effects look prety weak and sloopy,the best thing is peter and gwen chemistry and their relationship,but in the end was little ruined by decisions and breaking promise by peter | 4 |
Cast was phenomenal. Acting was wonderful. Visually it was fantastic. It just had no climax or action until the last 10 minutes. So incredibly disappointed. The writing was just poor in my opinion. | 6 |
It's a pretty good movie. You'll be immersed in the visuals, the graphics, some mystery, and a review on quantum physics in space, and you will enjoy the mysteries contained in it. However, the acting and casting are almost embarrassing at times and poor. The narrative and script suffers greatly from a lack of focus and pointless plot tricks. There's a sequence toward the end that while engaging, is some of the most over the top dramatic, just-for-effects senseless filmmaking you will ever see. It worked in Inception, but not in Interstellar. Overall, it is a "pretty good" film, but it falls short in so many categories. The visuals are worth the ride, and the best part is the presentation of the new planets. If only they would have spent more time on the water planet (that was the best part of the movie), but then if they did, every hour was worth 7 years on earth, so the story had to go elsewhere. The other graphics were good too. But there are some senseless plot turns that will frustrate you and it will lose points immediately from its' current 8.7 rating. For example, was Matt Damon's space crazy Dr. Mann even necessary? The answer when you think about it is no. It had no point in the overall story except to add more drama and intensity to an audience who already had plenty to begin with. What a waste of top level talent. | 6 |
Based on a true story, Sandy Grimes (Jodie Whittaker) is a CIA officer trying to cultivate assets in the Soviet Union. Little does she knows, there is a mole in her office she sees every day. Aldrich Ames (Paul Rhys) has been selling CIA secrets to the Soviets.
It's obvious that ABC had no confidence in this show/mini-series. They put it out at the end of the holiday seasons with little or no advertising. It's meant to be nothing more than cannon fodder going into the Winter Olympics. Nobody was paying attention, and nobody watched. It's not a surprise that they canceled it after 2 episodes especially considering the anemic ratings.
I did like the realistic (read not flashy) spy craft. But that's all I found interesting. I like Jodie Whittaker in some of her work. The problem is that we know from the start who the mole is. There isn't much mystery in any of this. Without any mystery, there isn't much driving this show. The audience is just waiting for the CIA to catch the guy. It's probably better as a shorter mini-series. It just doesn't have the flash bang whiz pow of modern TV. | 7 |
I was very surprise as the film turned out to be a very hollow matter. Why did they stretch the "Hello Barbie"-"Hello Barbie" joke all over the movie. Running gag? This film was so boring, the jokes so unadventurous, the characters so flat. The film was the look and feel of a 20 minute-TV-show stretched to infinity. Ryan Gosling was cool, but in the wrong movie. Margot Robbie is beautiful. That's it. She squeezed exactly one characteristic out of the puppet. After watching the film a would have assumed it would make 20 bio at the box office. What was I wrong.
A very painful movie experience. God save us all if there's a barbie cinematic universe on the horizon. | 3 |
It's a mid show. It's boring. If you're looking for comedy, watch The Office. Community is unrealistic, things like this could NEVER happen in real life. That's not inherently a problem, but the characters are not thought out and extremely bland. The Office looks more realistic and has more thought-out characters. Apparently, Season 4 was terrible because Harmon left. And then there is clearly a lacking of actor retainment with Season 5 losing Glover and another, and Season 6 losing two others. If the show was actually good, why would the actors be dropping out like flies? The Office never had any actors drop on their own terms and it ran for 9 seasons. Only the first 3 seasons are semi-worth watching, but at the end of the day it's a wannabe "The Office" and it falls short. | 6 |
I will keep this really simple one of the best TV shows my wife and I have ever seen this is an absolute must watch!
Highly recommended! | 8 |
This movie was too much information, too much noise, too much mess. I didn't feel anything: I didn't get emotional, didn't laugh and I got bored. My ears and my mind were already exhausted and bored by minute 45. This is one of the very few times I've hated a movie that is so well rated everywhere. Why did it get so far? I just DON'T GET IT. This is my first review on IMDb and I just wanted to do it because I was so pissed off at this movie.
The only reason why I don't rate it with 1 is because I did laughed/smiled a couple of times with some dark humor (which I'm very fond of, but which in my opinion was not enough to save the movie), and because the scene with the stones was worth something. | 3 |

This is how you make a movie! I watched this again and I never left a review but thought I would log on because I am tired of people trying to placate to certain demographics for profit. Look how that turned out with other countries who now wont even play these films! So ha! Do what you love and be creative and stop trying to chase TopGun taught us to just give people what they want to see and stop trying to create you're own narrative. This film makes you realize that the stakes can be raised even in a film about super heroes. I enjoyed seeing the different dynamics and love the pacing of this film. | 8 |
One reviewer stated "Eye candy that reflects the emptiness of American culture". What if the director wanted us to feel disgusted about the movie...like Toby's character did. Like a dark joke. It's the only way I can understand why such movie was created. No. I'm not in shock. In trance - maybe. I just FINISHED watching the movie, but I'm still waiting for it to begin. Really, the characters and scenes were so shallow, that I caught myself laughing in disbelief at a few scenes. Like the one when Gatsby was contemplating the happy moments with Daisy. Wtf. Contemplating what? -You throwing clothes at her from the balcony? There is no connection, no depth. Just ADHD. I don't know... take some medicine, or drill a hole in your skull to rewire it before watching this movie. It might help you make sense of it, or feel some empathy for the characters. | 2 |
OK, I saw this movie tonight. Alright, not really anything new than others I had already seen. A few things bugged me.
1) There were too many references to her time when she almost died... this implied something later in the story would be related, which it wasn't. 2) Was not real enough. After they had met, there next months were almost perfect with a trip to Europe (when the doc said s*** no) and free meal with champagne etc.
I was expecting something a lot more twisty at the end than what happened.
If I could re-write the ending, this entire movie would have been a dream of the girl after she closed her eyes on deaths door in hospital when she was 13 as she went into a coma. THAT would have been a great ending, dreaming your last days of an amazing love experience that you never got to have and then slipping away into the ether. | 4 |

First of all, I didn't dislike the movie. The cinematography and acting is amazing and I like the characters. What I don't really like is that the movie doesn't really have a plot. It's basically just a movie, that is a love letter to the 60s. I didn't really have a problem with the pacing, but i don't think the movie needed to be 2 hours and 40 min. There are scenes that goes on for to long, to the point that you kinda get bored. Overall an Fine movie that is worth watching once on Netflix or something. | 5 |
What to say about Christopher Nolan's space travel blockbuster? Well it covers very familiar ground, and in some ways is a pastiche of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (with more than a touch of Yukinobu Hoshino's '2001 Nights'). But it's 2001 with Cliff Notes and endless explanatory voice-overs. Which don't help one bit. And despite some great visuals and set pieces, its as much mawky melodrama as serious science fiction.
The script is terrible: flat, bloated, uber-hokey and at times laugh-out-loud. The four (four!) repetitions of Dylan Thomas' "Do not go gentle" don't help. Characters are thinly-developed and white, middle class stereotypical. There are more teary goodbyes than a full season of Teletubbies. There is almost nothing in the way of character agency or development. Matthew McConaughey is forgettable, despite playing the all-American everything who saves the universe (or does he?). Anne Hathaway impresses, doing a decent job with terrible material. Michael Caine features as himself.
Matt Damon appears in an interlude that is both jarring and confused, a (necessary?) concession for the action crowd that adds to nothing bar the running time.
The worst thing about Interstellar is the science. Now as a Kubrick tragic, I thought I'd long ago covered all the superlatives for 2001, but after watching Interstellar I came up with a new one: Integrity. Kubrick and Clarke totally respected the science. Interstellar's plot is based upon 'the science', yet abuses it absolutely. I mean, it's *Star Trek* bad. No mere law of physics is going to stand in the way of a good tearjerker. Black holes, degree of relativity, radiation, gravitational tides? Who cares! For a movie that pretends to set the bar high, it's a fatal flaw.
It's a Nolan film, so the gadgets are great. The dust bowl blight background is well thought through. The cinematography is stylish and the restrained CGI extremely effective. Other characteristic Nolan foibles impress less - dialogue has never been his strong point, the on-screen philosophising is banal, and the music - organs swells and vibrant cello stringing - often drown out the scene rather than supporting it.
I'm still thinking about Interstellar (a good sign in itself). I'm now offering it grudging respect, Respect for its coherence in the face of the multiple conflicting demands it faces as a blockbuster. Respect for the bits it does well: the human loss involved in space travel, the tensions of family versus greater good, even its cheek in criticising the dumbing down of American culture while contributing to it. What really stands out is how it is all bathed in a retro futurism: a longing for a lost America of pioneers and visionaries, that mythical age when science mattered as the film describes a farmer-hero, tech-hating proto-fascism.
The weaknesses of the script are its undoing, however, and its sad to think that the relativistic tragedies and three planet problem could have been portrayed without ludicrous deus-ex-singularis anti-science.
So. There were some great bits. There were some terrible bits. Its messy, poorly plotted, and three hours long. On balance though, I'd recommend you see it. Once. What saves it from a fate worse than Prometheus is the overall coherence. There is lots of discussion to be had over plot holes, ontological paradoxes, and (of course) how we'd do it better. Just know what you're getting yourself into. | 6 |
Look the I know it's been a slow 2 episodes but the foundation's have to be set. Not everything in the show is obvious and on the surface. A true fan would have noticed a lot of hints where this show is going. You just have to have an open mind. I think the 1* reviews are a bit over the top as is a 10*. The trailers suggest a lot of action and excitement, you've just got to give it time to build up. I think it's a very clever layered series that's going to deliver as an MCU feature expects too. (Watch the Easter egg reviews on YouTube to know what you missed in the first two episodes) | 9 |
The acting and cinematography are excellent, but they're about the only great things about the series.
The chess, that's supposed to be so well presented, is reduced to a few quick camera shots per game and sudden mates.
In the longer important games, the board is rarely shown in it's entirety, especially during moves, so you can't even follow and appreciate the apparently great games.
The plot is very predictable and the characters feel like caricatures more than real people. Harmon's struggles are ridiculously romanticized.
Very dissapointed after reading so many glowing reviews. | 6 |
Man...I m DC fan but what the hell happend to DC? Where is the action? Almost every scene is a comedy and It start boring. And dialogues are just for kids... I don't know man...I don't know..I just miss Christopher Nolan really.He need back asap. | 5 |
Marvel movies are about sci-fi and action. Love these characters, but I have no idea how race became a main focus in this show. Stop already trying to use race as the reason anything happens in life. Sam gave up the shield, no one said the black man couldn't be the next Captain America. SMH. | 5 |
..but also absolutely forgettable *yawn* A boring movie about boring movies that noone remembers or cares about, and I'm not even from the youngest audience. This won two oscars, what the heck for?? Just confirms that oscars are overrated or the jury consists of a bunch of boomers who love themselves some "good old days" nostalgia.. | 5 |
The mockumentary style of sitcom gained popularity over the last view years, mainly due to shows like The Office and Modern Family.
This show started out great. Especially Ty Burrell and some of the child actors really did an convincing job. I also enjoyed the dynamic of this family and the "modern" way they live.
Unfortunatly this show was doomed to fail, because its idea was to accompany a kind of strange family through the years. Their children all were at a different stage of their life and therefore they went through different problems at the time, which often connected to other family members problems. Thats what drove this show. But humans do age. The loveable children turned into teenagers and adults, which isnt a bad thing necessary. But obviously it changed the shows style and tone.
They still managed to make up decent plots and character developments but it just wasnt "what you signed up for."
Another point i like to mention is the lack of really emotional and contradictory episodes, which are a big part of sitcoms. Of course there are some with rather sad and meaningfull themes but they dont compare to those episodes of How i met your mother, Fresh Prince or Scrubs, etc...
Overall this show is defentely a great sitcom, but just not enough to be a part of the very best. Id still recommend watching it. | 8 |
The movie was too long for this story , its little fun in the beginning and then the boring is come . This movie just wasted my time , I thought its great because i saw the rate , but for me , this is what i felt !!
I give this movie 3 star only. | 3 |
I shouldn't be surprised that this show is rated so high. First, it's based on a video game by the same title. Second, is is perfectly timed to coincide with the end of The Walking Dead.
Though I've only seen the first 3 episodes, it's not very hard to guess where the series is going. Man and girl traverse zombified United States and since she is immune she is the only person who can save mankind.
In case you forgot, the comic book and TV series Y: The Last Man already covered the immunity plot, and the walking Dead literally beat to death the zombie apocalypse.
While I understand those that have played the game are naturally more inclined to like this show, for the rest of the audience it's just more of the same. | 6 |
Why are people going mental over this Matrix/Paprika wannabe? It's undeservingly credited for way to many things. Maybe I'm being too harsh since it's the best blockbuster in the last two years, but lets be honest. The first half of the movie is drowning in clichés and the rule 'show, don't tell' is not being utilized at all. Am I the only one who finds those tedious dialogues when they explain the whole plot (as if we were ten year olds) - really annoying? The real people in those situations would talk and react completely differently. That makes the character interactions and conversations barely believable and just empty.
Also, actors who play Saito and Mal are really destroying any credibility of the drama and tension movie has. Saito (besides being a Morpheus wannabe) always talks as if he was simply happy he remembered the lines. And why, oh why do they have such unnatural, bad and forced accents? Ellen Page was a bad choice too (another cliché - younger student learns everything sensei has to say in 2 min and then teaches HIM a lesson). DiCaprio wasted his talent here, his powerful acting was ruined by the forced tension of the movie and a lousy soundtrack (which apparently never stops).
The second half of the movie was better and combined with the end gave a certain satisfaction in terms of mental food. Nolan really is a master of plot and king of moments - unfortunately this is obviously becoming his biggest weakness. The overall impression is: it could have been a LOT better. It's not awful, but giving it a 10 and calling it a benchmark is just ridiculous. | 6 |
I had a huge review for this movie for this movie I wrote when it came out but it was too long for Imdb. If I ever get a blog or a YouTube channel this will be one of the first things I talk about. This movie is annoying, pretentious and you should never ever watch it. Let's leave it at that. | 3 |
Hands-down one of the most boring films ever made. An amazing achievement given the quality of the actors.
Unless you enjoy watching the intricacies of union politics, don't bother watching it. | 2 |
It's more a fictional tv show, it questions your logic all during the show there is no police technology to use to catch the Hannibal, it hurts how much they akip catching or killing Hannibal just for the show to continue.
First season was the only season worth watching, videography and scenes were amazingly good but it's just hard for me to see how many opportunities have been missed to catch the Hannibal and stop its murders but for so many absurd reasons it's not happening also no tracing no camera's nothing is catching or taking him under control when he is suspected. When something doesn't make sense with new technology I just feel I'm watching a fictional crime tv show. | 1 |
A Slavic tale where there is no Slavic actor, where are the Russian and Polish actors? Are they just for being maids and mobsters? The ridiculous miscast cast, the poor plot and writing, the cheap cinematography and the lousy acting make this show unbearable there's a total misconfiguration of Sapkowski's acclaimed work, this show has nothing of the witcher here besides the name! It's just another generic netflix and hollywood fantasy. | 1 |
Excellent movie... must watch... the reality of Indian Society... Every Indian must watch... of course director Nagraj Manjule's films are Always awesome. | 10 |
Okay, enough with the ULTRA dark digital filters. Back when horror movies were good, dark meant they used a fast film with a wide aperture in a dark shooting environment. This would result in rich detailed dark areas, high contrast and crisp shadow lines. They don't use film that much anymore so what we get is a regularly exposed video signal, in a normally lit environment that is then subjected to a digital filter that darkens the image uniformly. What that means is when you are viewing the movie EVERYTHING is dark. There is no contrast, no detail, just MURK. I thought that Slenderman movie would've drove a dagger in the heart of this school of cinematography but apparently not.
Aside from that the movie is incredibly dull. It has a bunch of retread scare attempts that don't work at all. Actually not a single frightening scene in the entire movie. The actors were good. They just had nothing to react to. This should kill the Annabelle franchise. I know I won't be going back for #4. | 3 |
This movie pretends to be all anti-war and anti-hate and yet it praises in many shots how Americans liberated Germans from the Nazis and made it first to Berlin by showing their flags and not showing any Soviet flags when we all know and it's a fact that Soviets made it first to Berlin. They show "ruthless" Soviets executing the Nazis and Americans being all full of joy and freedom. They didn't show the Nazis shoting, executing anyone, showing them silly and not serious at all. They obviously tried to make us feel sorry for the people of the Nazi Germany and yes, obviously by far not all the people were followers of this people-hating ideology, especially young people. I understand that it's a satire but why Soviets are being portayed like this then? Soviet Union lost the most amount of people during the Nazi occupation and war. It was Hitler's official orders of exterminating people, slavs in eastern Europe just like Jews or making slaves of them at best. Americans and people in the Western Europe often tend to forget this or simply ignore this horrible fact Now they dare to blacken Soviet achievments once again of not only liberating a good part of Europe but also defeating the Nazis at their very core while being one of the main targets of genocide without declaration of war and not being ready for war which was the reason of Ribbentrop Molotov Pact, to delay the war. The Nazis didn't plan on exterminating people of USA, Great Brittain, France, Norway and Etc. Americans and Brittish didn't have the Nazis on their land doing atrocities towards their women and children. Soviets had more than enough reasons for revenge and yet Stalin banned lynching and looting and punished own people for such things. So again, this movie is about anti-war and anti-hate, about love and friendship of peoples and yet it hypocritically shows how it doesn't apply to Soviet and Russian people. Double standards as always but I am surprised anyway that they did this again. I can't rate this movie higher than the minimum score for obvious reasons. I'm frustrated. | 1 |
This series is really dark and also haves good humor (perfect combination). The characters are just to perfect and some episodes are just to good. You can also see so much character development wich I really like. | 9 |
To be totally honest, the writers of this show of such thoughtful attention to detail, they know their characters, voices so well, that everything in it works. Even when I am feeling like some plot point or character, quirk might not come together, the writers figure out a way to have, it work organically. Steve Martin and Martin short, after all these years, still have it. Martin short seems right at home in this role and provides the most laughs for me personally. Selena Gomez is also killing it throughout the show. She represents generation Z quite well, but also has , a wink and nod to some of the funnier aspects. I really enjoy the interplay between her and the "olds" as she calls them. Well worth your time! | 10 |
Bottom line up front: For those that like spy thrillers and are not put off by the use of sex (and weaponized sex/sexual violence), you will like this one. This is an original film for the most part but I am not likely to watch this film again.
This film is very original and well through out. It is very cerebral and you have to pay very close attention to keep up with what is going on. While the film does explain everything in the end, I felt the plan was just "too perfect" to actually have been pulled off (nothing comes off that perfect in real life).
Due to the fact the plot is very exacting, the film seems to move along rather slow and the character development seems to be slow as well. It was refreshing to see a film with a mix of good and bad characters of both genders. There is an even distribution of bad female and bad male characters in this film but also good female/mail character.
A word of warning to those who have not seen this film yet, this film is gritty and holds little back from the viewer. As other reviewers have noted and mentioned this film has a lot of sex scenes in it or scenes in which sex is the instrument of power. There are even a couple of rape scenes. While I usually dislike (really dislike) rape scenes, these are passable as they are necessary to the plot/story line. They are just hard to watch. So, viewer beware! Additionally, nearly all the sex scenes in the film are also necessary to the plot line so the amount of sex is arguably not gratuitous as without them, the plot may have a few holes in it. This film does blur this line though! | 5 |
Is it a good show? No. Does it tell a good story? No. Is it an awful show? Absolutely. Anyone who even remotely has a good taste would not like this. This show destroys everything it was trying to stand for. It makes depression look like edgy teenage phase, with unrealistic stuff. Only one out of 13 reasons is valid, others are problems people face everyday.
A girl commits suicide because she has no will, but she'll take a fair share of time recording 13 tapes and designing their covers. Then she'll establish a system of distribution and then die. It's cool right, except it really isn't. The people she blames, who were close to her at a point are just mildly inconvenienced by the news. Just leaving one who actually cares, yeah yeah you need to make a self righteous man protagonist in a show about mental illness. People won't even notice.
Bad direction, worst dialogues, too cringe and too fancy. Everything in the show happens conveniently and there is nothing valuable you can take out of a situation.
I recommend you to watch it just so you know what's the worst set of footage all across the world. | 1 |
I don't get the hype for this film.. I've seen it a few times and never remember what it's about just vague shots. Travolta & Jackson in a restaurant... Travolta saving girl with bob hairdo from overdose. Never got the hype and not memorable for me.

Watched without any expectations but it was a great thriller ride without any flaw It was crisp... Actors justified their roles obviously it was Ashok Selvan and Sharath Kumar Background music was great No unnecessary songs and distractions Some comedy worked out... Twists was not forced Even had a good message Antagonists backstory was good So everything was perfect A good treat for thriller genre fans I liked it for sure you may also like give it a try... My rating to this movie is 9/10 Some disturbing scenes but family watchable... Don't miss it in theatres and regret it later... I hope it was helpful. Thank you... | 9 |
Youve gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth.William W. Purkey | 10 |
Cracking TV show, and definitely what would actually happen if humans ever got super powers! And how good is Urban as the Butcher! I can't keep the grin off my face when he's in a scene! Only just started season 2 but loving every minute! | 9 |
Just saw the trailer of season 2. After that, I watched the trailer of season 1 again. Well, changed my rating from 9 to 10. Yeah, things can be better of course but if you look at the complete package, ambiance and look&feel of the series...I just love it! Beats all other Marvel series easily!! | 8 |
