Must be the most brainless action movie I've seen in years. It feels like this is made up out of preset story lines. The stunts are incredible and repulsive at the same time with to many limbs of innocent pedestrians flying around. Just another pre chewed action movie. | 3 |
It was enticing, at first, the intrigue was there, it kept my interest strong. But all of that began to crumble after the first few episodes. There was a lot of filler and dragging out, and that dragged the show down. Some people may have their justifications for that, reasons that make sense to them and make them like the show, even more, whatever. I am not one of those people.
Once the crumbling began to happen, I was just watching week after week so I'd know how it ends. The realization of that didn't register until later on. But while the initial enthrallment that made me subconsciously very excited for what was to come, when I watched the first episode, and the couple after that, had faded, I was still entertained by the remainder of the show, just nowhere near to that first-hand, inimitable sense of enjoyment.
At the same time, I'm somewhat glad that it is over, and I mean the first season, "the show", at this point. There could still be more, that adds to "the show." There was a slight feeling of weariness and boredom that wasn't necessarily that as well as this feeling that I had to almost force myself to continue watching that began to emerge, and that is where this subtle sense of relief has come from.
But by no means did I dislike the show. There were just moments that made my interest fluctuate back and forth to the point where it became unrecognizable, and perhaps not interest, anymore, at least not the initial interest that I had, well, that's the way I see it. My subconscious may be influencing me to think that's how I feel and see things regarding this show, and that's incorrect, who knows. I, for one, wouldn't know anything about that sort of thing. | 7 |
I could discuss the lack of plot, poor character development, acting, etc. but rather I'll just say it's really really bad. I'm done after two episodes. | 1 |
Hollywood, like the rest of society, has its own political correctness. This is one of those films that everyone is supposed to admire. Supposedly, the characters are deep and dark and very complex. Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the best actors working today, blah, blah blah.
Almost all of this is garbage. This film has the worst attribute of anything in the entertainment industry - it is not entertaining. Boring would be a better term. Dull, plodding and excruciatingly long. The moments of interest are few and far between, and far too fleeting to make this movie worth watching. One leaves the film primarily with a sense of wonder as to why Hollywood thinks it is so noteworthy. It is not, except perhaps as a example of the bad films Hollywood increasingly tells us (the public) that we SHOULD like. There is a growing disconnect between the films celebrated at the Academy Awards and those films that the public actually enjoys. No wonder the audience for the Awards dwindles each year. Continued celebration of boring, forgettable films such as this will ensure the Academy's increasing irrelevance. | 3 |
Hey, season 1 beautiful this is not a comic book series for the faint of heart, this is the way a comic book should be done, showing it's characters faults & irredeemable qualities and most of all unapologetic attitudes, this series is a keeper if they stay true too the source material. | 8 |
This movie was worse than homecoming- Peter acts like a 5 year old and is stupid all the time. Just because toby and andrew came back, doesnt excuse all of the plotholes and the bad storywritting. But fanboys/fangirls and hype is gonna push any movie thats mid at best. Peace. | 2 |
...But without the catchy dolphin song.
The level of idiocy increases the further you get into the film to the level where you wonder why they didn't just make an animated movie designed to keep little kids entertained while their parents get a short break from family life.
Eye rolling ad nauseam. | 3 |
Whach this movie if you hate musicals. You'll hate it even more )) | 2 |
Matrix meets kung fu husstle in the multiverse. Nothing was outstanding in the movie. I got the Jokes but wasn't actualy funny for me. The humor in the flight scenes wasn't for me allthough that was probably the best scene in the movie. The title is correct but another title could be one big mess in the multiverse. Maybe i missed something. The actors did a good job because i do think this was the idea of the movie . So If you like a big mess the actors will not dissapoint. Looking at the other reviews either you like it or you hate it. Good luck If you want to watch. If you don't you will never know. | 4 |
The Queen's Gambit is for sure one of the best limited tv shows ever. But, wouldn't call It the best. When I heard everyone's opinion about it I thought I was going to give it like a 9.5/10 which I didn't.
When people are explaining or giving a summary of the show, they often say it's about chess. But, I'm surprised that it's not all about chess, it's 40% about chess and 60% of the character Elizabeth Harmon and how she got to be a big chess player. It also discusses a bit about addiction and loneliness. The character development was great, from an orphan child to a huge chess player. The series showed us that development in a great way starting from the first episode that would grab anyone's attention and would make them continue watching the show, especially that it explained everything about Harmon when she was a child. Also, Isla Johnson as young Elizabeth Harmon was fantastic. Loved her acting so much and it really grabbed my attention.
I noticed that each episode is like a short film where we get to see one of Harmon's journeys. For instance, the 1st episode is just about young Harmon and how she got to be an orphan and how she learned to play chess. The 2nd episode was the shift of Harmon's life from being an orphan child to starting to compete in chess tournaments. And so on till the last episode which is a thing that I liked the most about the show because everytime before I watch an episode I ask: "where, how and what will her journey be like in this episode?".
Felt like there were some scenes that were there for an unknown reason or were just there to fill the episode with much time. They were sometimes unnecessary or added nothing to the story.
Hair & make-up were phenomenal because to have the same actress to play different age versions and to be able to convince the audience that she's younger or older using only hair & make-up is a huge thing. Hats off to everyone who worked in this department.
Production & custom designs were amazing as well especially that many were inspired by "chess". There were many shots and frames that were visually stunning because of the great cinematography & colors. But, the production & costume designs added a better taste.
The directing is one of the show's strongest elements especially that it's inspired by "chess". It was capturing everything around in a beautiful way from camera angles to different camera techniques & shots that would make the audience want to see more. The show also captured the 60s perfectly from the streets, cars, shops, hair & make-up to the customs.
Anya Taylor-Joy is unbelievable in the show. She for sure proved to everyone how an amazing young actress she is and how she has a very bright future. Cannot wait to see her in upcoming shows & films. Although Thomas Brodie-Sangster is 30 years old, he looks very young, he sometimes looks like a teenager which brings me to him playing the world champion Benny Watts. I first thought that Watts would look tough, solid, and strong not a person who looks like a teenager. Thomas Brodie-Sangster's acting was incredible but he doesn't fit that specific character that's why I don't blame him, I blame whoever chose him to play Benny Watts.
Finally, The Queen's Gambit is a strong, clever, and beautiful show that I recommend everyone to see it. But, from everyone's opinion about it, I was expecting more but wouldn't call it bad at all. It has great acting, directing, cinematography, and set design. A true masterpiece.
My rating is: 8.5/10. | 8 |
I'll be short.
1. This movies suffers from the same issue as the first, where you're only tipped about the hows and why's of the murders and the other mob stories that take place, with the agravants that: a- A few scenes go by before an 'explanation' comes up, although it still just doesn't explain everything. b- The first movie at had more compelling acting, plot and action overall managed to get me tuned all the time, despite the hard to understand parts of the plot.
2. This movie could be made a lot better if it was shorter. It drags too much on useless scenes, displaying scenarios and expressions in the faces of characters. Which leads to the third point.
3. The pace is too slow and makes the movie boring.
Overall, it's a a somewhat decent sequel to the first movie, but at the same time it just isn't as exciting and requires some effort to finish watching, not like the first movie, where the movies takes you along with interest from the first minute to the last.
Definitely, I 100% overrated. | 5 |
An embarrassment for all involved. Don't waste your time. | 2 |
It was a fun watch. It was decent, at the very least. Not sure if my standards are just getting lower and lower these days or I just actually liked it. Although I'm pretty much sure I would watch season 2 when it comes out. | 10 |
First episode was strong and then it goes downhill. 2nd episode had a lot of really poorly acted moments and episode 3 was an utter bore. I will change my rating if the episodes increase but wow, there was so much potential that has been wasted. The show has become pretentious and is on its way to becoming a flop. I expected each episode to improve but it hasn't and it's been really disappointing. Please stop forcing emotions out of the viewer and just be genuine. Please stop using shock value to keep us entertained, just have good writing and a good story. Please stop with the teenage drama subplots. This has potential but it is becoming a bust. These next few episodes need to pick up or else the series will turn into dust. | 5 |
1. Animation was amazing. 2. Zero facial expression and emotions from the characters. Zazzo was a complete wreck. 3. Background music fit perfectly and was the only thing in the movie to give me goosebumps. 4. Beyoncé absolutely butchered "can you feel the love tonight". It was absolutely heartbreaking to have one of my favourite songs completely overtaken by so much wailing and "try hard-ness". 5. The first half of the movie was all too dark. There was a comple lack of comic relief in the first 50% of the movie. I only countinued watching because I was at a cinema. If I would have watched it at home I would have turned it off. 6. Timon and pumpa were perfect and the only thing that I can't complain about. 7. Beyoncé sucked. | 3 |
I'm a huge comic fan but never a big Daredevil fan. His stories were always formulaic and although none were bad, I cant say that they were amazing either. I am just glad they stayed away from Electra and Bullseye which is when the comic really got cheesy though I suspect we will be seeing those characters soon. Maybe they will do a better job in the show because the comics and movie did a horrible job with the characters. Anyway, this show is above average. I gave it a couple of extra points for good acting and decent dialog. There is a lot of back story in the show and sometimes it got boring but I felt that the characterization was needed even if it was not exciting content. I think the weak spot in the show right now is the Kingpin as I just don't find him intimidating at all, not physically and not intellectually. I think they need to focus on making him a bit more menacing. Im glad that this show is OK because I really hated Arrow and thought that Agents of Shield was also too bland to watch. I am looking forward to the 2nd season. | 7 |
As a fan of Harry Porter series, I feel this movie is very boring and over-rated. The story is very linear and predictable. The beast is worst than the main series. The main male characters still remind his role in "The theory of everything".

...and enjoy! Yes there are a lot why do they do that / how s that possible / seriously?! Moments in the show, but it s still an enjoyable show that I binge watched within 3 days. The only character that I find really annoying is Dr Smith...Can t wait for the final season! | 8 |
Hi My Name is Angela and Love The Show So Much. Thank you all to the Actors&Actresses and Crew and the writers you are all doing an Amazing Job! #BestShowEver | 10 |
I'm not much a review writer unless something should really shake me up. Something very different about this show is it leaves you with a mixed feeling. You don't know what the hell did you just watch ?! a very sad emotional series about high school a TV masterpiece or an average teenage TV show with extra sadness.
I loved the cast, every single one of them especially the school kids. and I loved how it rose from a whiney teenager story to something much more important. I love shows which contribute MUCH more than just entertainment . It is really a huge help to understand what kids go through in high school and how less they can be understood.
I'm not saying u r going to enjoy this, But definitely it will leave you wonder . | 9 |
From the Frances McDormand narrative and the Addams Family style theme tune onwards there's plenty of laughs and quirky entertainment to be had along the way. Michael Sheen as always is on fine form but in this production he's outshone by a fabulous performance by David Tennant as the demonic and not so demonic Crowley. It's a barnstorming performance worthy of an Emmy. There are some moments that drag a little and perhaps could have been trimmed but overall the performance of the two leads and their characters developing relationship together with some very funny scenes make for an entertaining and uplifting ride. | 7 |
Nothing new here. Mostly for younger ages(below 25 years old). Well made but nothing exceptional. I keep the good messages. | 6 |
Completely disgraceful series, I wouldn't recommend a waste of time | 1 |
I'll be honest; I've played the games but I'm not a big fan of them. When Netflix announced the series, I was not excited but intrigued. Then seeing Henry Cavill as the protagonist.. That was my first disappointment as he was not that much "masculine" to be a Witcher.
But later; episode after episode; the quality of the CGI, the dialogues and acting, the story and everything was so unexpectedly good (sorry Netflix) that it start catching me! Now, IMHO The Witcher is one of the best adaptations I've watched so far. | 8 |
Best show on 'TV' at the moment. I love the 80s and this is such a throwback. | 9 |
I ki d of liked the movie at that point when I saw the Swiss magnets on the fridge and he started talking about German people living there... I watched the movie with English subs, so I hope in the original language they weren't making this huge fail. | 5 |
Already hooked on this show, mystery is interesting yet still easy to follow, and the comedy aspect makes it easy to binge watch. All three leads did an incredible job on this, can't wait for the next episodes. | 10 |
Total fantasy story with serious Witcher, Yennefer, wandering Nilfgaardian army, and so on. Few episodes are full boring love scenes between Witcher and Yennefer. Unnecessary fights and nude scenes. The next level of drama (after Game of thrones). Only thing good is "Ciri". Ciri should have more presence compared to Witcher, Yennefer, and others. | 5 |
He makes an action movie without the actual movie.
This is a set of 20 min action/corky nonsensical dialogue/slow-mo/hot women shots from below in slow-mo scenes repeated like 3 times. I know this is all Bay does, but damn, he really outdone himself this time.
Nothing happens, nothing changes. I never thought that action scenes can be so exhausting. I genuinely felt tired. You can't have scenes that are not connected to anything. I appreciate some of the stunts and the action scenes but there need to be a movie behind those scenes. What is the point of disconnected action set pieces? What is the point of all this if there are no characters, no motivations, no real danger, nothing. It's like a 2hr video game cut-scene but worse.
The dialogue is mostly bad jokes, memes and random movie quotes.
Ryan Reynolds is playing Ryan Reynolds, as always. I mean, at least he's having fun...
This would've been passable considering Bay's involvement, but this drags for 2 hours and there is nothing to grab onto. I mean, I can enjoy Bad Boys, I can enjoy Armageddon, I LOVE The Rock for what it is, but this is too much.
Michael Bay has achieved the impossible, he made an action film that is such a bore I barely finished it. | 4 |
I saw this film twice at the Adelaide Her Majesty's Theatre screening and the following day at the Palace Nova.
Danny and Michael are some of the most talented and driven filmmakers on the planet. What they managed to achieve with Covid restraints and smaller end budget was incredible.
The young Australian cast gave incredible performances and DOP Aaron Mclisky created an incredible visual experience.
The YouTubers turned filmmakers have made a huge impact online and have proven they can take that talent to the big screen. The twins have a huge future ahead and will take the film world by storm.
10/10. | 10 |
The acting and direction were very good. The script was horrible. There were times that I wanted to scream from boredom. The movie could be 40-50 minutes smaller, too many "slow" scenes without any meaning to the whole story. Oh, what story..? | 2 |
The movie is about scummy Wall Street businessmen that make a lot of money. Except for the main character, almost everybody else is worthless: the men aren't interesting or funny or original or important or inspiring or good looking. They are aggressive, uneducated scum who spend most of the time snorting coke, falling over, and yelling YEAAAAH !!! and FUUCK !! The women, if in a speaking role, are gold-diggers. The rest are prostitutes.
Why do we need three hours of their orgies is beyond me. Who cares about these people? The aunt and the FBI guy are the only potentially interesting characters but they get very little space, I guess because the director needed to spend more time on depicting yet another senseless orgy or yet another detailed depiction of effects of drugs.
This would be a total disaster if it weren't for DiCaprio who gives a captivating performance of the main character. He's energetic and convincing. Too bad his talent is wasted on a character of a money- embezzling, drug-addicted salesman surrounded by human trash. | 5 |
Although Avengers have their fare share in the time travel agenda , that was in pretty small scale . With the new "Loki" , get back into the same time line as Dark. Congrats to the team marvel for the shows. | 9 |
Confusing plot, zero charachters development. Everything seems to be made fast. | 6 |
And the Oscar for the biggest Marvel failure goes to.....Black Panther. I watched it to the end because it was so bad. How could that get 3 Oscars? How can rotten tomatoes write so positively about this lousy waste of time ? How can that be part of Marvel ? So boring and foreseeable story mixed with non existing acting and wrapped into kitsch music and purple sky's. One day I will be held responsible for my time on earth and what I did with it. Somebody angry will point a finger at me and say : you watched this to the end ?
No really guys, something went all wrong here. | 2 |
If you like comedy dramas and care about social issues, you'll love 'American Fiction.' This Oscar-nominated film mixes humor, drama, and satire to challenge societal expectations. The story follows a colored author who, decides to make fun of being labeled as an Afro-American writer.
"American Fiction", available on Prime Video, follows a Black author who is tired of being stereotyped. As a joke and without having high expectations, he decides to write a fake novel that plays into racial clichés in order to make a point. But to his surprise, the book becomes a real hit! While it brings him financial success, it also forces him to confront the compromise of his artistic integrity.
"American Fiction" is an insightful look at how the environment you live in and the "market" can limit and label people...and in some cases, how easy it is for society to offer superficial solutions to complex problems like racism. Through the protagonist's journey, the film explores themes of identity, commercialism, and true social responsibility. So get ready to be entertained and maybe have your mind challenged! | 9 |
It was also surprisingly not bloody, despite the violence. It was much better than the first movie.
What disappointed me was the action, or the lack of. From the title and name, well you'd expect Carnage to be chaotic and destructive especially considering he was attached to an already violent psycho unlike venom, and he was but everything felt held back. The story is very short and doesn't really give any characters any depth. Carnage looked and sounded terrifying! The first scream of carnage definitely startled me not gonna lie.
When we came out the cinema, I could hear everyone talking more about the post credit scenes and its implications than the actual movie for the most part. Great visuals though.
All in all, I think it's a good movie, most definitely worth a watch but it just felt like they didn't let everything out the bag. It's a really fun and funny movie, just needed a little more chaos. | 6 |
Vou até assistir novamente enquanto não chega a próxima temporada!!! | 9 |
Boy, what's with all the whiny comments about this film? Either you like the Coen Brothers or you don't - no need to get personal!
I am a fan, and anyone who thinks they could sit down and write a Coen script over a few beers with their mates should try doing that some time. They are geniuses of the understatement and write the kind of observant blackly humourous dialogue I would kill to be able to write, (not-with-standing improvisational leeway with their always top-notch casts).
However I don't indiscriminately love everything they do. Films like 'The Big Lebowski' and 'O Brother' don't seem to hit the mark for me. But 'Blood Simple' and 'Fargo' are so brilliantly real and surreal at the same time I get a total high every time I see them.
'Fargo' is just great entertainment as far as I'm concerned. Frances McDormand and William H. Macy are amazing and Steve Buscemi is just always great. And by the way - it's not a true story - they were kidding. | 10 |
The word that best comes to mind when it comes to this series is amateurish. It's pretty obvious the writers and director do not have a lot of experience. This show would be a lot better in more capable hands. A lot of this dialogue is really bad and the fight scenes are an embarrassment.
It's a shame, because Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson are such amazing actors and they work really well together.
For those who praise the concept of this show, please watch the Umbrella Academy and Legends of Tomorrow. There is nothing new and interesting about the Loki series. It is just garbage that I only assume was aimed at young boys and incels.
Hopefully, season two is a total reboot where they just keep Wilson and Hiddleston and Wunmi Mosaku (she was good) and dump the rest. | 1 |
This is my absolute favorite movie of all times. It's the kind of film you can see over and over. It's the kind of film that can make you cry in unexpected places, like at the end, around the 3rd or 4th time you've seen it. Part of the greatness of this story is that it grows out of the location and characters where the authors grew up, around Fargo, South Dakota. The characters are another important part, because not only are they interesting people, but they represent a cross-section of common attitudes about justice. Jerry sees justice in terms of financial and personal advantages. Gaear understands justice as always doing what is necessary to survive, given his criminal life style. Carl defines justice as being in the right (probably like most of us). Finally, justice to Marge means no harm done so that tomorrow will be better.
The snow is a metaphor for purity or perfection, against which backdrop, the conflicts of the world must take place. | 10 |
Me and the missus were hoping to enjoy the movie. Was just a headache waiting to happen. Scrambled and frenetic scenes, music and script. Like watching a heart attack unfold. Didn't find it entertaining but annoying. A visual and audible punch in the face. We left the theatre after half an hour as it felt like an assault on our sensibilities | 4 |
A feelgood movie as good as they get. You could watch this hangover as well as on a Friday night just chilling at home. The combination of actors is just great! | 9 |
While one should cut first time writer/director Cord Jefferson a moderate amount of slack for this being his initial foray into film making, "American Fiction" is still a most unremarkable affair. Struggle as hard as I might I just do not see how this combination of heavy handed satire and not very hard hitting family conflict is one of the best picture nominees, even with the extended format. Nor do I see how in any thespian universe Stirling Brown's good but severely truncated turn garners a best supporting Oscar nomination over Charles Melton's brilliant study of arrested development in "May/December". (Jeffrey Wright's selection over, say, DeCaprio is, of course, more defensible). Also not helping matters are undistinguished, HBO style cinematography, needless establishing shots of Boston and too many dull, interior spaces, all giving the thing a prestigious, TV movie-ish feel, kind of like Hallmark when it was the hall of fame and not the channel. If it were not for very good acting from the entire cast, for which i assume Jefferson made a contribution, it would barely deserve mention. Give it a C plus. | 6 |
My favorite TV show ever! It has great character development. It has a lot of meaning and morals that are useful. The thing about the morals is that the way they put them out there is not in a way that obvious but people will sill understand them. The animation is amazing. If you have watched the movie and didn't like it and think the series is the same, your wrong the movie is bad but the show is AMAZING! The story is great and always stays on track. From the first episode it just gets better and better!The problems in the show are real but yet is still has a funny edge to it. 15/10! | 10 |
In this movie you can see deep meaning sense of live, you need to know just little things before or to be open mind and the whole univers will show appear for you. Most of scenes have a hidden or deep mening, i am not going to write too much about movie because i am here to sustain Greta Gerwing and i am very grateful for her because she had the creep to made it. Maybe more director will do movies for our souls not just for action,adventure,etc...
For me it was the greatest movie who I saw it ever. Any people should see through rows and see the true meaning of the movie. All my best to the Greta Gerwig <3. | 10 |
I did not enjoy this at all. I found the music to be generic, bland pop that sounded like it was created by a marketing department, in fact the whole movie seemed like a cheap, glittery plastic bauble from an arcade game. The songs were completely interchangeable and after awhile I cringed every time someone launched into song. There was absolutely no narrative; it seemed like a music video. There was a lot of talent but the characters were like stick figures, with no actual character development, and no motivation. There was not a genuinely creative moment in the whole movie. I started looking at my watch after about a half-hour hoping it would end soon. | 3 |
Not sure if we can give rating to shows for each season separately. Current IMDb rating says this is a 9.3. I agree with this rating, if it is only for the first season. As the series has progressed, the show has become more and more clichéd, unnecessarily stylized and unreasonably coincidental. The only reason I watched all 3 seasons is in the hope that the show will get back to its original groove, which it doesn't. | 6 |
The title says it all. Barely An hour worth of story spread across nine episodes. Too much hype and too much disappointment. | 4 |
With a cast such as this, I was expecting more, but this film was a spit in the face to all 'Murder Mysteries'. Tricking the audience by spoiling what really happened in the mystery within the first 20 minutes is not a mystery! For a mystery... it was easy to solve, for an action thriller... it was boring to watch. The entire film was lazy, poorly written and predictable. All the twists were crowbarred in in an attempt to fit the surrounding mystery. It's like the writer/director saw an episode of Poirot and thought "You know what this needs... to have all the mystery taken out of it!" It remains the only film I ever walked out of the cinema! | 1 |
This movie begins with huge potential and thus raises expectations. Herein lies the problem and the reason for so many bad reviews. It fails to live up to the standards set in the first 10 minutes. Tom Hardy's acting skills have improved over the years. Michelle is okay, but alarm bells always start ringing when I here or am able to detect fake accents in a movie. Like when a black african woman speaks with a fake American/English accent in the laboratory. I let that slide & the directors didn't let her speak again anyway. Masking tape put to good use, metaphorically speaking/writing. But then comes the villain (Ahmed). His acting is poor. Where did they find this bad actor? There are better more credible actors playing villains in Flash season 1. Pick one from any episode. It's as if they were trying to......let me stop there. You figure out how he got the job.
In fact, I can't be bothered to go on with the problems littering this film as it progresses from the score to the inept script and why should I, if they can't be bothered to make at least a half decent movie?
I will say that the positive reviews of 8-10 are sooooo exaggerated they have either been bought, are from people under the mental age of 14 OR are from poverty-stricken countries where they're just so happy to get to visit a cinema they would probably give an 8 to a blank screen.
2 marks for a decent begining reminiscent or plagiarised from Terminator with the first "symbiot" (an asian woman) playing an extremely brief role. Most important survey questions: Would I recommend it to a friend? NO Would I watch it again for free on TV? No Would you be interested in a free ticket to the sequel? No thank you. | 2 |
I was hoping for a lot and expected a lot and above all a lot of fantasizing but unfortunately we arrived at the same point as at the beginning of the movies. it's practically the first part again just this time it makes less sense because of what we have experienced so far so many characters are suffering from flanderization. Almost all characters have become more stupid and can not notice the simplest connections and it does not matter if that is just funny it's just not tolerable for this movie. But what I find most sad is this film has neither heart nor mind.
The ideas that appear in this movie just do not fit the concept we saw before and everything is so stupid and so "... I just saw that" I did not felled anything the whole time, I just waited until it was over. After I did not felt as if I had seen a movie but as if just a fast train had passed me by. I did not even really felt that I saw a movie but that just just gave me access to it. The villain "Kai" is pretty generic and interchangeable his Kratos weapons have some cool abilities but that's the end of everything positive about him.
A secret panda village where the pandas are withdrawn and sheltered from all other people's life is actually a nice idea but sadly destroyed is both the world building and the dangers that were built up with the last two movies. the character design is quite uninspired and repetitive so I am sorry for all voice actor and animators because you can clearly see and hear that effort has been made.
And with all the fat, stupid, constantly eating pandas, we get the stupid idiotic children's movie that I expected when I first heard about "Kung Fu Panda". I do not know what to think of the film of which I thought he is super dumb was super cool and the film of which I thought he is super cool what super dumb. At least I can say that these films surprised me from start to finish and that I definitely have to be more careful. | 3 |
it has been 2 years since i seen this movie, i've been writing reviews lately so i wanted to review this movie also one of the best movies of all times where do i begin we are made enemies of each other we see a group of people but not the individual this movie shows u a glimpse of what we Muslim felt i cannot tell u the movie u have to watch it to understand the journey of khan from his hometown to America his journey to America u have to watch him sell love an loose his loved ones his despair to be "as his mother said "khan there are 2 kinds of people on this earth good people and bad people" "his journey to find the president to tell him that HIS NAME IS KHAN AND HE IS NOT A TERRORIST" after seeing this movie my heart cried out and i wanted to see the movie again for people who loved the blind side of sandra Bullock remember the titans i recommanded if u are full of hate u might watch it to to get some insight about people u do not know | 10 |
Basically, the only interesting part of this show is when the main character transforms into a Titan and fights back. The rest of the time the show mostly consists of 'flat' banter or backstory coupled with 'so-so' dialogue. I'm a few episodes into the second season and technology still does not really make any sense or have much consistency, and the characters seem to only be introduced to die in some overly graphic way that involves them pleading while suffering immensely. It's a dark show (which i usually don't mind) but the dialogue and the overall 'torture porn' narrative leaves me unsatisfied and kinda bored. Additionally, most of the time characters are behaving so stupid or slow i find myself rooting for them to be eating so the scene gets over with quicker.
4 stars for the quality of the animation. | 4 |
Didn't like this one. Maybe it's just me that don't like this kind of movie, but was hard to watch it.
Fell like it's a movie for kids only.
I sincerely didn't enjoy. | 6 |
Super good-looking and super angry, buy a car will never buy a Ford, so Ford is how to agree to the release of this film | 7 |
Jennifer Lawrence is certainly one fine young movie star but somehow her performances have always struck me as kind of lacking in heart - at least after becoming really famous in "The Hunger Games".
It's partly but not mainly about that she comes across as distant or emotionless (although some of her characters have asked for that). It just feels like something in her as an actress has not developed or opened up yet.
I like everything about her - the acting range, the role choices and how she looks - but then again I never feel like she's really authentic and putting herself out there for the movies. Maybe it's just me?
Nevertheless, Lawrence's constant state of guarded-ness works well for the role of Russian spy in "Red Sparrow". She's also not shy about sharing her "bodily charms" on screen which even helps make it more memorable than it is.
I'd argue that the physical attractiveness part is so important here than if the movie had been released 20 years ago, it would have become famous like Sharon Stone and "Basic Instinct". Too bad that it's 2018 when naked bodies and sex are everywhere, so Lawrence's confident and cool sexy role will not gather that much attention.
It's also difficult to gather much attention in spy movie world these days, because there's a high number of those being produced constantly, including action, thriller, drama and comedies.
If one has to place it somewhere, "Red Sparrow" would fall into thriller category, although it has some drama and action, and the action scenes turn surprisingly and stomach-churningly violent indeed.
Another relatively rare thing about the project is using Russian spies and spymasters as central characters and letting the known actors speak with light faux Russian accent all the time.
What would probably feel laughable with lesser cast and director turns out just such fine using actors as Lawrence, Ciaran Hinds, Charlotte Rampling, Jeremy Irons and Matthew Schoenarts.
(There are also solid supporters such as Joel Edgerton and Thekla Reuten, so not everybody sounds the same.)
Thanks to confident actors, this approach works well enough to avoid falling into camp category. There's no joking around, everybody means business both behind and in front of the camera, and you will buy it because they seem to believe in it themselves. Which is good enough.
There's only one notable problem with the movie - it's such a mainstream endeavour that doesn't really stand out from the crowd of all kinds of good enough modern spy movies which have been released during this decade.
Almost nobody in the genre wants to concentrate on proper character and world building, and the result is they all feel kind of same-y.
"Red Sparrow" would probably win by being a bit shorter too. There's not too much filler content (although almost the entire final act feels like one) but it's still long at 140 minutes. And we don't even get enough interesting backstory for the she-spy and the world she's living in, including the relationship with her powerful relative.
The biggest letdown is the titular heroin who remains beautiful but bland as any successful spy should. But anybody who has seen more than a couple of recent spy movies will probably yearn for some depth, realizing that there's not much point to care about her. Just watch and be moderately entertained.
The character development remains limited and whatever one might think of her during watching, the authors will try to twist it into something "surprising" in the final act, making the previous journey together matter even less.
Thus, the emotional stakes never reach particularly high and one can just hope for some passable entertainment. But there's a lingering potential to be more than that in this otherwise well-made thriller. | 7 |
There's nothing to complain about. This show exceeds in every category. Truly the blueprint that all future fantasy shows should follow the example of. | 10 |
Looking past the Gal Gadot appeal, Is there anything that Wonder Woman brings to an overcrowded table?
This is the same origin story as everyone else in the Marvel and DC universes. The character has a quest hinging on a romanticized destiny...check, a love interest...check, a nemesis...check, the bad guys have a secret weapon....check. More bewildering is the praise of feminism that has elevated the film to greater acclaim than it deserves. This is nonsense.
The hero is a heroine; that is pretty much it. Gadot has enough conviction to command the screen but she is not a great actress, Fortunately she doesn't need to be. The script doesn't give her much of an inner life. In particular, her romance with Steve Trevor is fairly staged and seldom organic. Her claim to understand the power of human love by the end of the movie is no more earnest than Trump's claim to understanding the problems of America.
Wonder Woman is unusual in its structure. It has an enjoyable middle section bookended by a fairy cheesy first and third act. Diana leaves her home in the over green screened Amazon world and enters WWII Europe with Steve Trevor. The film handles her displacement in the real world with some good humour before allowing her to shine on the front lines of the battle. The action scene are fine, although there are a few too many kicks and punches in slow motion. Watching this effect in 21st century cinema is like watching a sporting gear commercial. The climax is disappointing because it is dull. Diana exchanges gimmicky banner with her nemesis Ares while engaging it a relatively lifeless fireball fight.
The movie succeeds in making you want to see more of Gadot in the hope that maybe a sequel will have more imagination in the writing. However, that seems unlikely. | 5 |
Minor spoilers for one joke in the movie: This movie is fantastic. The music, acting, art direction, cinematography and twists are top notch. I don't understand some of the negative reviews here. This movie had us laughing and smiling until the end. We love the script, callbacks, and the amazing visuals of the movie. There are so many unexpected fun bits here - like a Serena Williams training app where she is actually sitting in front of a camera in real time waiting for someone to ask for a lesson. This whimsical take on idiot billionaires makes for an unpredictable and visually pleasing backdrop to this fun murder mystery. | 10 |
Please god add some indication of a time line. Episodes jump decades in time between in-episode story lines, as well as from episode to episode. It quite disorienting at times. You can do this without taking down to your audience. | 8 |
It was totally unrealistic, slow and the action between the wolf and the boy took way too long to start. The fake/animated animals were awful. I just expected spectacular scenery and decent acting. Not there. Similar dog helps boy movie. | 3 |
Yesterday I saw the film and planned to give it 8/10 and that's because of the length but I'm giving it 10 just cause I saw people asking to rate it down on twitter.
The movie is totally worth your time and really funny with a satisfactory ending. The length could have been less but overall it's good.
Ignore these 1 star reviews as they were asked by Gems of Bollywood twitter account cause according to him the movie is hinduphobic which is not true and you can watch it and judge for yourself | 10 |
This movie is 75% VFX and 25% plot (and I'm generous). Good family-friendly jump scares and horror vibe, not bad fightings and useless cameos. If you are a Marvel fan-boy, a less than 15yo kid or someone who never watched a well done movie before, u will be able to appreciate this movie.
But for me it is a big NO.
4 stars are mainly for the amazing VFX, more blood and seriousness, and because the plot is so useless and stupid that probably they wrote in on the toilet during the morning poop. | 4 |
Begins brilliantly, as the ensemble begin to show their acting abilities. The uncommon opening interviews are a nice change from the genre formula and contain some subtle humour and entertaining ham-acting. One feels in comfortable, yet somewhat novel and exciting, waters with the family of suspects, the isolated manor house and the eccentric private detective.
However the novelty is somewhat its undoing, as we are aware very early on of some of the fundamental facts of the crime. From that point the subsequent reveals and deduction, combined with Marta's 'can't tell a lie' contrivance, become a little tedious and drag out the move beyond an appropriate run-time.
Fun to start, slow to end. | 6 |
Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman wrote the wonderfully surreal 'Being John Malkovich', and he's at it again in 'The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', a similarly bizarre tale. To classify (wholly unfairly) it as genre, it's a romantic sci-fi (and how many of those do you see?), set in a world where disillusioned lovers can have their memories of each other erased. There's plenty of natural material in this concept, but unfortunately, Kaufman and director Michel Gondry are arguably guilty of trying a little too hard: the middle section of the movie takes place inside the characters' brains, for no real purpose in terms of plot: the film fills this logical vacuum with some evocative cinematography, but its impact is lessened because the film-makers have first licensed themselves to show anything they want. What they do get right, in combination with the leads, Jim Carrey and Kate Winslett, is to show real (positive and negative) chemistry between the protagonists; if anything, at times they appear almost too adorable, but at least there's a spark. And although daft, the film is wholly watchable and actually not bad at manipulating the viewer's emotions; but perhaps Kaufman didn't need to make his script jump through quite so many hoops. | 7 |
Only 3 because the songs. I was wishing for this movie to finish. So bored is not funny. My God! | 3 |
I mean, Margo Robbie as Barbie just made perfect sense, but I really wanted to see the movie when I herd that Ryian Gosling was going to be Ken, I just thought that would be hilarious and I was right!
I was a little bit nervous when I heard this was not going to be an in-universe thing and that Barbie would enter the real world, but that was a great story.
The real-life story did give the art direction the purpose of making a "BarbieLand" with life size dream houses even I wanted to live in. The film just looks really good.
Give praise to director Greta Gerwig because this movie is fun but there were a lot of deep life cuts and the balance between the two was perfect.
It was good hands down. | 8 |
This movie is a perfect blend of Amazing picturization and On-point music. In some way I felt this movie was ahead of it's time, because movies back then in 2009 only made their way to people through big screens, which were majorly dominated by love story, action genre films by the same famous actors.
This movie does not disappoint you at all.
The main lead, Dev is more shown as the bad guy here, and the ladies are shown to be the driving factor of the whole movie.
The actors all did a fabulous job in their respective roles.
This love story is a unique one and I felt people can learn something from the mistakes of the characters. | 9 |
Panchayat (Village Council) is a pleasant watch with frontman Kumar's usual style and characterisation but it still depends on the tropes involved when you put a man from city into a government job at a council in a remote village. In the pilot season, you can predict what's about to happen in almost all episodes. But there are still some novelties in here which will bring a smile to your face. Nod to Raghubir Yadav and Neena Gupta as well as the other supporting actors for a good showput. TN. | 6 |
I'm not sure I've ever seen a more mind numbing so-called movie in my life, and I'm pretty darn old. | 1 |
I could watch this all day and never get sick of it. One of the classics ever. Super creative and intense but still funny. | 10 |
I knew it was based on a game, but I've never played it. I'm one that thinks the whole Zombie Apocalypse has been utterly over done through the years, weather it's in Drama or Comedy form. With this show I was hoping for something different, but I didn't get it.
I'll admit, some of the stories of the first season were very good, and it kept me interested just enough to get to the end of the season, which was rather disappointing. It was indeed the final episode of the season that got to me. I don't think I'll spoil anything for anyone, but that episode left you with no hope. None. The previous ones at least gave the impression that something could be done, and hope survived from that premise. But at the end? Nothing. Too depressing for it's own good.
And again, the whole Zombie thing is over done. | 5 |
Guys come on.....don't declare it best by just seeing 1 episode.....lets see the whole series. And this video is quite predictable and un-flavoured at times but this has more budget and a story line and hard work done is respected. | 5 |
For such a cast and an oscar nomination this film is too plain, boring and too much predictable. | 5 |
If you like this movie, you have a sick taste. Literally. You light laugh and be surprised during the movie, sure, but the "message" in this movie is given to you in the first three minutes. Poor people are evil leaches trying to lure the rich. What a fantastic message. And this film was given four Oscars? Laughable. | 2 |
I just finished Black Mirror and the first word that comes to mind is...wow! I've never seen anything like it. The stories are all shocking, disturbing and thought provoking. Most of them are about how technology is changing, has changed us, and not always for the better. It's almost like a satire of how media obsessed we have gotten. Each episode really makes you think afterwards and will make you want to talk about what happened. Every episode is like a mini movie, there're stand alone episodes and every episode has an incredible cast filled with A-list actors. While everyone will have their own favorite episodes, every single one of them will make you think and there's not a "bad" episode in the entire series. | 9 |
My friend, Sergei, wasn't surprised by the revelations because he lived there when it happened, but, he can count on one hand at least 9 inaccuracies. | 8 |
Let me be straight. I watched every eps. I enjoyed the thrills, the edge of your seat action, the 'will they make it' moments. But then, after the umpteenth time it became an expectation that of course they'll make it. All will be well. And that's where it really grated. The episodes are so formulaic it's like the writers have paced it on the heartbeat of a jogger treading their same daily route through the park.
And nothing bad actually happens. I understand the moralistic schmaltz is part of its brand but there were times, many many times, I just wanted someone to utter an occasional profanity, kick someone in the nuts or just die for gods sake! Even the chicken survives. Well, that I'm relieved about. Wholesome fun. Just a little too wholesome. Like plain humus on rye bread. Give me some full fat cheese dammit! | 7 |
Tries so hard to be a smart classical black&white movie but comes off as a pretentious Kubrick wannabe that makes no bloody sense. What a waste of time and great acting. Not to mention the moronic dialogue. | 3 |
Classic example Of how cash is burnt by big directors and how netflix is fooled | 1 |
I've got to admit this is one of the most disappointing films I saw this year. It was nothing more than a two hour pantomime, featuring some credible acting talent. Has Depp been watching the BBC's "Stella Street", as he has an uncanny likeness to Keith Richard's character in the show. He's probably the best actor in the film as well. Bloom was wasted. Rush was surprisingly not evil or nasty enough. The supporting cast was decent enough including some stand out performances from the British actors. The only people I can see enjoying this sort of tosh is children and underdeveloped adults.
Can they be making a sequel. Please God no save us the pain.
a generous 6/10, mostly for set design/costume and special fx. | 6 |
In the books, Enola is a bit younger, her relationship with her mother is more complicated, and she is truly alone. The books are more historically accurate, and she is much more clever. Enola faces some true challenges as she is learning to navigate on her own and values the freedom her mother has procured for her. She eludes her brother Sherlock and does not have a boyfriend. So sad that they compromised and dumbed down the movie. | 2 |
Wandavision is Marvel's first outing into the streaming world (if you don't count the Netflix stuff) and they take a bold risk with their mysterious series built on sitcom homages throughout the decades that mostly pays off. The series is well made with impressive visuals and recreations of classic sitcom sets to painstaking detail, giving the show a unique flavour and look from other Marvel properties. It is also extremely well acted, especially by its two leads, which is accompanied by strong writing in regards to a character study for the two, often sidelined heroes, especially Wanda, serving as the series strength. Unfortunately the show suffers a lot due to the constraints of weekly released episodes, that are far too short to be completely satisfying and pacing is a glaring issue, and can often make the viewing experience feel sluggish with the seven day waits. The series starts slow, but gains traction towards the middle, peaking at episode 5 and 6, before falling into a formulaic and somewhat unsatisfying finale. Also re-watchability is not very strong here as there are not many details to be picked up upon a series binge that you wouldn't have noticed the first time around. | 8 |
I usually don t leave many movie reviews unless they;re very very good or very very bad. For this one is the latter. THere s no story. A dumb plot, crazy poor acting and nothing but NOTHING scary at all..
I think these days the horror genre has gone down and down ...and down. I don t know how this has 7 on IMDB, when 1 star is ....more than enough and that's only for the cinematic part.
See it on ur own risk and time but dont spend money or time in cinema. Thank me later . Also to name it best horror or 2023 it ;s just plain silly but as i mentioned this horror genre today it's.... a joke like this movie is. | 1 |
Although it is called the "Glass Onion", it really doesn't qualify as a REAL "who did it?" onion for a real detective onion throws you clues to test your deductive prowess and then the good ones surprise you logically as to who the real culprit is. This one is too quick to tell you cluster by cluster all the mitigating logic and how things are before speed rushing you to the next plot point to do pretty much the same thing all over again. Given that, I had already second guessed who is the real villain is two third into the show and just sat back and wait for it to come. Meanwhile, what was interesting to watch was the Mardi Gras like production (the art direction, especially the set design). It does have a real fun opening that perked up my expectations quite a bit. All in all, quite entertaining as a whole. Good if you want to sit back and just take in the ride. | 6 |
In times when TV shows are written on the wheels of political correctness, this show delivers some much needed oxygen to our almost collapsed lungs. Not only was this a TV show I truly enjoyed watching, it is filled with gems of jokes that make you lough out loud like there's no tomorrow. I suspect my neighbors think I'm on "something" and I don't care. I applaud all the creators for this great, very human piece of work. | 10 |
There is a good show here, one that probably takes itself a bit too seriously. I don't remember the original movies or the cartoon trying to flesh out the goofy Addams Family world with so much world lore and characters' backstory. The more serious tone and its infrequent goofiness are not entirely unappealing. But to me, it does not feel like an Addams Family show. It feels more like Tim Burton's take on Lemony Snicket's A series of Unfortunate Events with a hint of Netflix's Sabrina. That's a compliment, as strange as that sounds. I liked it more than I thought I would. Is this particular story something I believe would occur in the Addams Family world? Sure. After all, it is a strange, supernatural world centered around a weird family. As for the characters, Gomez, Morticia, and Pugsley sadly do not behave like their comic/movie counterparts. Their personalities have been trimmed and updated for "modern sensibilities." It's not great, but it doesn't hurt the show much. Thankfully, Wednesday, the titular character, is very likable. Also, the music in the show is okay. Nothing spectacular. I wish they had used the iconic Addams Family theme song more generously. The show's opening barely hints at it.
Netflix's Wednesday can be a fun show when its writers allow it to be. To clarify: the Addams Family franchise is satire. Getting preachy with satirical works is detrimental to the 'satire' part of the works. Netflix writers have a bad habit of writing insufferably preachy dialogue. So naturally, there are a lot of cringe-worthy moments in the show. Fortunately, Tim Burton does a fantastic job directing the first four episodes. Coincidentally, those four episodes have the least amount of cringe. The other four are entertaining, but you can tell the difference between the first four and the latter four's pacing and direction. Season 1's finale is weak but not entirely irredeemable despite its cliffhanger ending. I hope Tim Burton can direct more eps in season 2, possibly the entirety of season 2. That would certainly give him more control over the show. | 5 |
Slow! Apocalyptic doomsday movies are getting old. Sandra Bullock is a great actress but this vehicle did nothing for her career. | 2 |
This is the best movie of 2020, after so many unnecessary trial of bollywood, in the whole year. Finally a movie to watch in this pendamic. | 8 |
This is how sequels should be. Sam Raimi has remembered the most important thing that made the first film great, the story. The action almost blends into the background as you get caught up in the turmoil that Peter Parker is experiencing. You find yourself (or at least I did) routing for him as a person and cheering as he defeats his own inner enemies. His (non)romance with Mary-Jane in this film is heartbreaking but ultimately leads to an amazing climax that had me jumping up and down in my seat.
The special effects were a treat as well. They have ironed out the cartoon look to Spider-man himself with his web spinning acrobatics looking less comical this time around. Doctor Octopus looked fantastic (if the reason behind his arms was pretty lame).
This is the best superhero film yet but I feel that Sam Raimi still has more to give. Spider-Man 3 anyone?
8/10 | 8 |
Amsterdam is the odd experience where the sum of the parts is less than the parts. A counter intuitive waste of talents great and famous (though not necessarily both in many cases).
Christian Bale is doing his best to channel Kosmo Kramer physically and a passable American accent. Margot Robbie tries to do an American accent that doesn't sound like Harley Quinn and is about 50% successful half of the time. Chris Rock is Chris Rock doing Chris Rock (although I found myself wishing Will Smith would show up to give the performance a boost). John David Washington is the best of the cast and offers a nuanced performance that is much better than the material. The rest of the cast is there, hitting their marks and delivering their lines to little effect.
The script is a hot mess that jumps all over the place and never finds a functional narrative. The direction is even worse.
So what works in this movie? The costumes are great. The soundtrack is good. Taylor Swift's character is killed off...and not for the amateurish acting which would at least give her death meaning. The best thing about this movie is the end credits are in focus. That's it.
One star only because zero isn't an option. | 1 |
Season 2 and season 3 are awesome, it's a great show. | 9 |
So far, the expectation from Iron Man films was that of mind numbing, explosive action with superb effects which more than made up for their lack of any further substance and it is precisely because of this pattern, I found the latest instalment to be a disappointment.
So much of the film was wasted on unnecessary dialogue, as if the makers were trying to convince us that such films can incorporate elements including character development, personality, emotional attachments etc... When you have a story that is pure fantasy/fiction and tying to make it look more like a conventional film then you have a problem, because no matter how work is put into maturing the persona of a metal covered super hero, he still is a sci-fi character, plus it will not get you any more fans.
As a result, there was an overload of mumbo-jumbo, which could have been reduced, and lesser of the impressive action sequences we have come to like about movies like this.
It thus ended up looking more tacky than a brilliant sci-fi/action movie. | 4 |
There's plenty to like here. And for a few episodes, it looks like "Mare of Eastown" actually has something to offer outside of clunky whodunnit clichés. Mare's casual trauma makes her a cool candidate for the cynical life of a murder police, and her fear of her own illness hangs over everything. But after a while, you realize the show isn't really interested in the filial complexities it flexes in the opening hours - and queerly, it doesn't seem particularly interested in the murder at the center of the narrative. By its midway point, the series feels more like a weaker entry into "True Detective" than it does a fresh deconstruction of crime drama clichés. The show feigns compassion for its characters by way of a lot of sobbing and screaming and tired therapy scenes - none of which end up being very deep or interesting outside of Winslet's flat petulant line readings. Instead, the narrative is cluttered with ridiculous plot twists and filler.
There isn't much left in the tank for the show's closing arguments. It sputters and meanders through multiple clumsy stunts and ample bloodshed. Ultimately, you start to question which narrative threads were supposed to land and which were window dressing to the thin plot. For all of its grandstanding, the death of a teenage girl doesn't count for much. The performances can't overcome yet another hollow entry into HBO's "dysfunctional family of the month" sweepstakes. The winners here are Smart and Pierce, making the most out of their screentime and easily the only two characters that register as decently banal - no secrets, no fuss. | 6 |
Thank god for swades. Its been ever so often that as Indians we have lamblasted the mushy, one track nonsensical movies that were being churned out by bollywood and yearned for something slightly honest and celebral. And now it seems that the moment has arrived. Swades has finally reached the next level of Indian movie-making with the help of ashutosh, srk and rahman where the execution, the concept and the treatment of the film is at least (i can safely assume) close to world standards. There is no point comparing lagaan (the directors 1st movie) to this movie as his earlier venture was purely fiction with no semblance of realism in it. However this movie has so many ingredients of being a pathbreaker for Indian cinema that its almost scary. The feelings and expectations of an nri set aside, it tells the story of middle and upper class India losing touch with the harsh realities of the sufferings of the less fortunate ones all around us (and the fact that we can do very little to change the ongoing scenario is even more glaring and painful). Besides this the movie also deals with the desires and priorities of humans inspite of the trials and tribulations of daily living.
The maturity of the script, the actors and the score makes it a journey of epic proportions without it looking epic at all. The normalcy of the movie is something which might (and hopefully will) change the way cinema is seen and made in India in the future. One can only hope. | 10 |
Science Fiction is just that, fiction, and when you put it into serialized form, it's gonna be even less real - as I see some reviewers complaining about - It's a story. It could be the Wild West or whatever. I like the twist of how/why the robot is included in this version - no spoilers from me - and I love to hate Doctor Smith - as I did with the original. Also, there's Toby Stephens, Molly Parker and Parker Posey! Along with Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa - can't beat that line up. | 9 |
I have to admit it, I don't know where this show came from but I'm Hooked! Fascinating story, fantastic actors with real chemistry, beautiful photography, gorgeous castles...I mean what more could you want? Well lots more, as I've already watched Season One 3 times & have ordered the books to supplement the time between Season 2 episodes! Thank you for this!! Love it!!!!! | 9 |
There is nothing good about this movie. Bad cinematography. Bad acting. | 1 |
Why blow all that money on fabulous sets and costumes and props only to sink the show with horrible writing? Nothing in it makes sense at all. | 2 |
Subsets and Splits
