This is possibly the most intricately plotted story told in the modern day. Just rewatching the show again everything makes an insane amount of sense and the foreshadowing for events that occur seasons later is mindblowing.
The show sets up mysteries, and pays them off in ways youd never expect, but make absolute sense. There are barely any flaws in this story whatoever, constantly delivering on action and story payoffs.
The only thing i can think when watching seasons 3 and 4 is how does the author continue to pull this off again and again. | 9 |
I came out of this film very frustrated at what COULD have been. As a Theatre student, I was sorely disappointed by the acting, especially Sam Worthington's performance. Now, sci-fi has never been my thing, and only went to see Avatar because my parents wanted to. I have to say, while I was obviously impressed with how lush and amazing the visuals were, that's all this movie was. Even though Zoe Saldana's performance as Neytiri was surprisingly gripping, as was CCH Pounder as her mother, every male performance in this film was sorely lacking. Stephen Lang as the "bad guy" was alternately painful and laughable, and delivered some of the worst movie dialogue since X-Men. I'm not sure what was so off about these performances, but it really let down the whole film. The plot was, of course, nothing new and the story played out predictably. This wouldn't have bothered me so much if the actors has delivered, or they had better lines - i'm not sure which is to blame at this point. Even though directors like Cameron are never known for dialogue, at least with Titanic you had two magnetic leads who pulled off EVERY line. Not so with Worthington and the rest of the cast. This movie was the equivalent of Cameron flashing a shiny new toy at us so we will all Ooooh and Ahhh over it.
Don't get me wrong, Avatar is worth seeing in 3D, but this is nowhere near Best Picture material. | 2 |
It's clear Netflix assumed the viewer was a fan of the graphic novels... bad writing, bad timeline, and bad acting. It is so hard to follow and none of the characters are charismatic. We have three episodes left and it's a struggle to finish. I cannot believe this show has a high IMDB rating. From someone who loves science-fiction and fantasy, if you are considering watching it: SKIP. | 4 |
I didn't know about the game , I just knew the hype and Netflix . Went sincerely through 3 episodes with the hope of getting better but the monotonous way of story telling is tiring to watch . CGI is not what we have been spoiled with like GOT . This is a eroes which is EVITABLE . One can easily skip this one and watch something else . The rating on the IMDB will reduce with the time as witnessed multiple times . Waste of Henry Cavils talent | 1 |
I have never watched the original Lost In Space and I don't plan on watching it any time soon. But you don't need to watch the original of something to enjoy a remake/reboot. However, Netflix's Lost In Space is just an unoriginal bore. It's very pretty and nice to look at and I can say that the CGI and cinematography are the best thing about it, but everything else is either alright or just plain bad. Even though in the 60s this concept may have been somewhat original, this concept by today's standards is not very original and plays out how you would expect it to play out. It's way too predictable. It's also just really boring, nothing different happens and I ended up losing interest within the first three episodes. They try and shoehorn in science to make you believe that the Robinsons are really smart, but the science they use isn't impressive and is pretty basic. I learnt most of this stuff in Key Stage 3/Middle School and seeing as how they make it some big deal I end up cringing each time they try to act smart. The characters are also just the most generic family members I've ever seen. The character development, interactions and dialogue are way too forced and cheesy which really dumbs down the entire point of having them. The acting is Disney channel levels of awful too and Penny just gets on my frigging nerves. The robot is the only character I could actually tolerate because he only has a few lines and rarely speaks only occasionally saying "Danger, Will Robinson". Oh yeah, and Dr. Smith's antics get repetitive and boring quick. While I think it looks gorgeous, the show is predictable, generic, boring and none of this is helped by it's dull and bland acting and it's attempts at trying to make you feel like you're watching something smart. Wanna watch something with decent CGI, good acting, a compelling plot and immersive world and lovable characters? Watch Stranger Things, another Netflix original that has actually EARNED it's critical acclaim and fanbase. | 5 |
Maybe only the sound on this film is up to par...everything else is drown in mediocrity... | 2 |
These days, great special effects are expected, even standard. Here, the remake does not disappoint. The CGI and SFX people, who have naught to do with anything else but their craft, could honestly expect an award for their work.
afa everything else? Danger, Will Robinson. I don't blame the actors; one deals with what they get. But I doubt that Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor could have salvaged this. Parker Posey could have been a gem. The (ersatz) Dr. Smith role is a hundred percent in her mien. But like Jonathan Harris, who had full control in rewriting ALL his lines, to great effect, Parker should have been given that permission. As it is though, she had to suffer being a hateful one-dimensional character. The greatest acting in the world cannot overcome that.
The rest of the roles were little better. I cannot think of another recent TV series that so wasted great talent on such dismal assignments. The storyline was so dark and unrelenting it reminded me of Alien 3; I even found myself turning the brightness up at times. There were always threads in the plot that served some hope of interest, but they ended up inevitably falling flat. The science was puerile; come on script writers, give us viewers more credit than that: we are a more scientific bunch than we were in 1966. There were some truly glaring oversights here.
I will say that there was barely enough, but still enough, to keep me watching for a few episodes. But it was only my weekly dinner guests who wanted to see the whole thing that pushed me to the end.
The youngster who played Will was decent. Nowhere Bill Mumy, but he is new to acting whereas Bill was already an old pro at the ripe age of 10 lol. But his talent is obviously there. His siblings did their best, suffering from the same issues as Posey. Really, they all suffered from one-dimensionality, save Ignacio Serricchio as Don West, who actually had a meaty part, pulled it off well, and was a definite bright spot.
The only other bright spots were the Robot, not at all the affable and effervescent Robot of old, but nevertheless intriguing and visually captivating - especially that face of infinity it had, and the overall physical attributes of the set. All of it, from the Jupiter 2 to the planet and it's landscape and denizens, were enjoyable.
But the writing... I was an English/Literature major for a while, and while I could never compare myself to the Duffer Bros, I am sure that this series could have employed me to positive effect! There really seemed to be a disconnect between the basic skeleton of the ongoing plot and the final details that failed to enrich it.
But having said this, I do have great hope that the writers will have learned from their mistakes this go-around, and since the season ends with what is obviously a foray into another completely different gestalt, the canvas is brand new, and so can their palette be. There remains great potential here, and I remain optimistic. | 4 |
I just love the dialogues. great work. i think the screenwriter did a great job. | 8 |
I just searched this title and one review called it 'A Nerd's Delight' .
Why yes, it is. The series doesn't go as deeply into the biotechnology, genetics, string theory (quantum physics) or wines as the books, but yeah, it's still there. 'A Discovery of Witches' weaves modern science and folklore into a tapestry while discussing the future of humanity.
Add to that an exquisitely crafted production and superb performances that evolve and even de-volve as necessary with the characters, and well, you've got one of the best series I've seen yet.
I'm old, I've seen a lot.
The witches, demons and vampires of this smart story aren't for fans of the twilight pablum, but more for Trekkers, Trekkies and anyone who likes to think. So yeah, nerds like me. | 10 |
Season 1 was great but this new season has become nothing but lazy writing and cliche driven drama. Very disappointing. | 1 |
Yes, I just referenced the horrendous TV show from the 1990s that S.H.I.E.L.D's leading lady Ming-Na Wen starred in. After about ten minutes of watching skinny actors who look like models try to be badass and fail completely, I lost all hope for this show. Skip forward to the end of the first season and I have to ask, 'Why bother?'
Watching Wen scowl and try to look hardcore has become laughable, and the show's other leading lady, Chloe Bennet, has mannerisms that smack of teenage drama queen, which makes it that much more cringe-worthy when she has lines meant to make her seem super-intelligent.
Clark Gregg is the show's only redeeming element, and even he seems frustrated half the time, not the character, but the actor. His lines don't have any of the weight or wit they do in the movies, and it's hard to watch him try to make such boring writing interesting.
All in all, for me it was impossible to get over the forced and unbelievable acting. The show feels more like a b-reel from the 90s that would air on the WB, than a leg of the MCU. Wen, Bennet, and especially Brett Dalton's acting basically ruin any redeeming qualities the show might have gained now going into the second season.
Casting has always been a huge factor in Whedon's shows, and this show exemplifies a complete 'miss' in that department. Not only are the characters contrived, the actors who play them are almost always sacrificing authenticity in the name of trying to look tough on-screen.
I can't recommend this show to anyone, especially if they're a fan of Coulson otherwise. 4/10 | 4 |
Nothing in there to enjoy in this show except the first episode. Releasing each episode weekly didn't help this poor show at all. It could have been a small scale TV movie instead of limited series. | 5 |
"The Boys" is the perfect antidote to the flood of never-ending superhero films and shows. With its biting humor and gritty realism, this Amazon original series offers a refreshing reality check for fans tired of the same old formula.
In a world where superheroes exist, "The Boys" dares to ask what would really happen if they were controlled by profit-driven corporations. Say goodbye to the squeaky-clean heroes and hello to a group of self-centered, arrogant, and downright unpleasant characters. It's a delightful departure from the typical superhero tropes.
This series doesn't hold back. From intense violence and nudity to an abundance of colorful language, "The Boys" isn't for the faint of heart or the younger audience. But if you're craving a series that turns conventions on their head, this is the one for you.
What sets "The Boys" apart is its exceptional cast. Karl Urban's portrayal of Billy Butcher is a standout performance, and Antony Starr delivers a chilling performance as Homelander. The characters are complex and well-developed, making it easy to become invested in their journeys.
With a healthy dose of dark humor and unexpected twists, "The Boys" keeps you entertained from start to finish. It's like Watchmen meets Breaking Bad, with a touch of sarcasm and a big middle finger to the Disney superheroes. Amazon has hit a home run with this series, and it's a must-watch for anyone craving a fresh and entertaining take on the superhero genre.
"The Boys" proves that Amazon is capable of producing top-notch original content, and with this show, they've firmly established themselves as a contender in the streaming world. So grab your popcorn, buckle up, and prepare for a wild ride with "The Boys." Just remember, it's not your typical superhero show, and that's what makes it so damn good. | 9 |
I started watching a couple of months ago, and stopped because of the immaturity of some of the characters, and slow progression of the cool sci-fi/time travel stuff.
I decided to burn through the rest and was surprised to find that the mundane activities at the beginning of the series actually play a much larger role than the writers let on.
The characters become a lot more likable later on too, most notably Okabe, since he has to deal with a lot of difficult decisions related to time travel.
The latter half is surprisingly pretty emotional, and the series as a whole takes some interesting plot turns. If you like sci-fi and anime you should at least give it a shot. Things really start to pick up around episode 10. | 6 |
The latest installment in the Barbie movie franchise takes an unexpected turn, veering away from the child-friendly themes that fans have come to expect. In this new adventure, Barbie finds herself navigating the complexities of the real world, facing a stark realisation that men rule the world - much to Ken's delight.
While this plotline may spark debate and offer an occasion for intellectual discourse, it's crucial to remember the intended audience of such movies. Given its 12A certificate, this film should not be regarded as a children's movie. Parents expecting lighthearted entertainment may be caught off-guard when sitting down with their young ones.
For those who are able to appreciate its more mature themes and humour, moments of levity can be found. However, with a slow beginning that only picks up halfway through, some viewers may struggle to maintain interest. Furthermore, the film's rushed conclusion leaves much to be desired and falls short in satisfying fans' craving for a cohesive storyline.
Potential audience members should weigh whether the departure from traditional child-oriented content is worth viewing or not.
In summary, while this unique approach to a Barbie movie has its merits, it should be approached with caution by parents of younger children due to its mature themes and occasional tedium. | 6 |
The pinnacle example of a perfect superhero movie. Not too cheesy, not too serious and overall the motive of each character is clear. Definitely a classic to look back on. | 10 |
When I thought of One Punch Man I thought that it was just a spoof show making fun of other anime. However, after giving it a chance I came around to find out I was very wrong. This show is amazing, definitely a top 5 anime for me. It's funny, action-packed, and you will always be on the edge of your seat. Saitama is one of the most badass characters I have ever seen, the fight scenes make this show perfect. Some may find this show un-interesting because of how powerful he is, and this may be true. I think the underlying goal of Saitama's character is that he is ultimately trying to find someone strong enough to give him a challenge. I think this show is an example of "you'll either love it or hate it." Give it a try I promise you, you'll be hooked in an instant. | 9 |
LUDO Hilarious!!! Must watch!!!! Don't miss the perfect direction and spectacular acting. Congratulations to the film and everyone who made it possible, Abhishek, Raj Kumar Rao, Pankaj Tripathy, and all the actors are outstanding. Joy Sengupta(Executive Producer)❤❤ such a proud moment seeing her name in credits. | 10 |
I lost the perception that I was sitting in a chair in a theater, riveted to the screen. 10 out of 10. A rarity...in which state of the art special effects are actually complemented with solid effortless acting. No wonder...the cream of unmatched British thespians are in control of this franchise, which in any other case would have simply been a sterile FX romp. What a once in a lifetime opportunity for the film industry to pull of a success like this. It doesn't matter if the screenplay leaves out significant parts of the original book. The film stands firmly on its own merit. And what a feather in Warner's cap to have this one in its vaults. What creativity and film magic. It makes me want to drop everything and go to film school. There has been nothing remotely like this film. A masterpiece right out of the blue...like magic. | 10 |
Totally ridiculous violence fest. Jackman and the girl just scream and kill everyone in their path. | 2 |
A great first part with minor errors, the second one it´s just not good, they tried to keep the feeling of the beginning unsuccessfully. | 7 |
Sadly this is more like a highschool movie than a marvel universe sequel.
I totally understand the studio's need for a reboot for the new generation of fans, but this is closer to a spoof than a restart.
Maybe THIS is the real "edbgame".
Disappointing. | 3 |
I have not watched one more serial animation since 2009 .. This anime series was the best animation I saw, but when I watched this anime series, it was almost 8 years old ... When I was watching this anime series on TV, because we live in Iran, the animations are all censored and I watched this complete anime series almost 4 times and it was great, but ... But once I could not watch this anime without censorship It was a summary of the best anime I saw Thanks. | 10 |
This serie is awesome for a multitude of reason.
One: the premise is great. Yes it's similar to Groundhog day but this series has more time to develop the story and the way the story evolves is great.
The characters are interesting people who actually develop themselves during the show. The humour is great, the rest of the cast is solid, and the music and cinematography are both outstanding. I don't want to spoil to much but the ending is kind of surprising and to be expected, but it definitely makes me wonder how they will handle season two.
My verdicht: Please go and watch this show. | 9 |
I was hesitant when I put it on but WOW! I never imagined it'd be as good as it is! The acting was on point, beautiful sets, and an amazing storyline & plot! 👏 when I first attempted to watch it, I thought it wouldn't be worth much so I was doing other things, caught myself several times stopping to watch until I finally paused it, finished what I was doing and sat down to watch it from the beginning and I'm so glad I did. I've already recommended it to my friends. Glad I was able to take advantage of Amazon having it to purchase as I hate movie theaters. So it worked out well being as I can now watch it whenever I like. Which I'm sure will be often. | 10 |
I was looking forward to this film, hoping it would be in the tradition of great pulp fiction novels from the past. I was disappointed; it has nothing at all to do with pulp fiction novels of the past. Instead, we have a hip, slick, and obviously lowbrow attempt at gangster humor and behavior at its very lowest levels. The music is good, at least. However, the mundane plot and sequences are likely to put most adults to sleep. Teens, on the other hand, will believe anything, so the film might be highly entertaining for them. I found the dialogue to be trite, and the performances not to be genuine. John Travolta is not really an actor; he is more of a cartoon character, like Scooby-Doo or Yogi Bear. The other authentic actors in the film, such as Jackson, Keitel, and Roth, play their roles as satirically as they can. And I guess satire is ok for an overly violent film such as this, but most adults prefer more realistic scenarios. Teens, once again, will believe this is the way it really is in the world of crime. Please. | 5 |
The only reason I started watching Avatar was simply because I had to babysit my six year old sister that night and she was so set on watching this new show. Well I was hooked. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm 19 and throughly enjoy the show. In fact all my siblings enjoy the show too, ranging in ages 20 all the way down to six. We would watch new episodes when we were all together on Fridays and stuff like that, and joke around in the pool about how we could water-bend. But this show provides deep characters with backgrounds, faults, and dreams, a rarity in Nick shows. It sorta reminds me of old school Nick. And trust me, i am not a big fan of anime, but I hardly notice it with this show. i find myself so drawn into the characters and the plots, wishing and hoping for the characters to succeed as I do in a show like Grey's Anatomy. And this show teaches so much in terms of life lessons, that one race isn't better than the other, that even the smallest person can make a difference. And personally Prince Zuko is hot. Yes I do realize he is a cartoon character, but he is hot. | 9 |
The story is nothing. Everything was made to make the movie look like it was one shot. So because of this everything else was sacreficed. Sadly..
But the point is that, why on Earth do you think the DP has anything to do with this?????? The cinematography was nothing. A guy was following the actors and that's all. There was one shot that looked amazing. The rest was nothing.
What you saw, how they recorded the whole thing was made by the director. It's not cinematography. You're terribly mistaken.
The cinematography is (in very basics), the angles, the way the camera moves (I said basics!). None of it was special at any point of the movie!
Making it look like it was one shot was done by the director and not the DP.
The director deserves an Oscar for making this movie. No doubt about that. BUT the movies and it's creators deserve no awards.
Every other nominated movie ever in this theme was better in every aspect! Almost every nominated movie is better than this one.
Just because you can't see, it doesn't make it better. | 7 |
(2014) Two Night Stand ROMANTIC DRAMA
Megan (Analeigh Tipton) yearning to move out of her sisters apartment getting away into with someone in chat lines. She ends up with Alec (Miles Teller) and after an one night fling, and as soon as she tries to sneak out to leave she then becomes stuck in his small NY apartment as the door has been blocked out by the snowstorm. Forcing Megan to stay with Alec as they learn more about one another and of course fall in love. Two Night Stand did not offer anything new to the genre whatever it was supposed to be be. Co-executive produced and written by Mark Hammer. | 2 |
It was watchable but I didn't love it.
I'm not sure just how involved Burton actually was with this project, it doesn't feel like he was massively involved because this series really didn't scream "Burton-esque" to me. He supposedly directed the series, but a few different directors' names pop up in the credits?
I was excited to see it when I found out Tim's name was attached to it, but it ended up being far too "teeny high school drama" for my liking.
I did like Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, I thought she portrayed the character well and made it her own. Uncle Fester was okay as well. And Thing, but, ya know, he's a hand. The casting for the rest of the Addams however, I didn't like; they just didn't capture the essence of the characters in my eyes.
This series had its moments, but as a whole I just didn't get what I was hoping for and was left a bit disappointed. | 5 |
This is exactly the kind of story I'd wish to see when I was a kid. Action, horror, lady to save, and so on... SFX are good and surprising. Acting are good (great Geoffrey Bush !) except for Johnny Depp and his character.
His character : a teenage-looking pirate who is SUPPOSED to be an old friend of the father of a man. But the son (Will Turner) looks older than him ! Unbelievable ! And more : this kid-pirate is supposed to have been the great chief of the worst pirates of Caribbean, twelve or twenty years before ! Sorry, I can't swallow that !
It's clear : Johnny Depp is really too young for this part ! I know, it's a sex symbol. But what for ? He's not the one who got the girl at the end ! I think a more mature man (like "Jack Nicholson" for example) would be a better choice.
And what about his make-up ? He looks like a "transvestite", he just missed the lipstick. That's a bad choice, again.
To fight all these bad choices, this poor Johnny overacts loudly to gain credibility. But in vain !
So, for those who can forgets an enormous casting mistake, the movie is pretty good. For those who thinks that a casting mistake can sink a movie, avoid this one. | 6 |
The game is much better than the show. The reason I say that is because the game is about 10 hours long with like able characters, great character development, and enough action to please the player. The show removed almost all of the action that was in the game at the beginning, They removed all of the interesting dialogue that made the characters interesting, and they added long and boring parts to the show that weren't in the game. Another thing about the game is that it was very focused around the characters just like the show is, but in the game the characters have interesting dialogue and along with some other things to keep you entertained. In the game they genuinely try to make the characters like able so you get attached. They don't do that in the show. | 5 |
There isn't much of a story here, but the visuals are cool. It's a super basic concept that rehashes some of the scenes from the first movie. They don't add anything new to this movie. They even use original footage from the first movie. There's a mission, everyone is mad at Tom Cruise because he's such a maverick. Tom is a maverick doing things his way, playing loose with the rules, blah blah blah.
The acting was just as bad as the mustaches. I'm surprised they didn't give the female pilot a mustache just to show off how much of a badass she is.
The visuals were amazing. They should have just shown the title of the movie followed by a bunch of jets doing stuff, then rolled the closing credits. That would have been a much better film. | 4 |
Charlie Kaufman scripts are tricky things. With all the right other elements in place, they can be great (Adaptation, for example). If not, however, they just don't quite work. Sometimes, a director who can handle his work right (e.g. Spike Jonze) is on board, but the film is miscast (Being John Malkovich - I really thought Diaz and Keener were wrong). Other times, the cast is right, but the director is all wrong (Human Nature). This film falls under the latter. It just felt like the movie never quite came together. We never got too involved with the characters, and the editing, pacing, and direction didn't let them develop at all. I thought it was a very interesting idea, and I thought the actors did fine jobs, but the movie wasn't what it could have been. | 6 |
Its one of those shows that entertains you but also sort of pisses you off as you watch it. Things don't really make sense, it feels as its made for kids. | 7 |
This is a middling movie. Two characters meet on a cruise ship and...I'm sorry, two characters meet in a hotel and chit-chat about their lives, while the cinematographer frames them against travelogueish backdrops. Gag scenes are thrown in occasionally in an attempt to lighten the film, but they mainly cheapen it.
The claustrophobic nature of the film may be necessary to the plot, but unfortunately it degenerates into a Hollywoodian self-centrism. The characters interact little with their environment, and are ultimately only interested in themselves. In that respect the siting in Tokyo is somewhat gratuitous; Cincinatti would have served as well. | 3 |
Was excited to see this as I'm a big fan of QT, but was nearly 3 hours of dry, slow paced nothingness I can only compare to the ramblings of a demented uncles on his last legs. Great performances by Pitt and DiCaprio, but not enough to compensate for the poor writing and no ending. | 2 |
Loki Marvel's best series so far.
They have done a very successful job, the arrival of the new season was also very good. | 9 |
Spiderman: No Way Home is a disappointing reminder of the declining quality of superhero movies. The film lacks the heart and responsibility that defined the genre in the past and instead focuses on shallow, self-serving actions by the hero. Peter Parker's decisions and motivations are puzzlingly naive and illogical, and the logic behind the disarming of superpowers is a weak and nonsensical plot device. The concept of a multi-verse is full of inconsistencies and plot holes, and the writing is lazy and unsatisfying. The attempts to bring back characters from the old movies only serves to highlight the lack of originality and creativity in the new film. Fans of high-quality superhero movies will be disappointed by this installment and the direction that the Marvel franchise seems to be heading in. It's a shame to see such a beloved character reduced to a cheap excuse for shallow storytelling and lazy writing. | 3 |
They invested 250 mil and did not have one pizza for a specialist in logic. It is amazing how these corporations today get lost in translation.
Long story short: i am incredibly sad. And i will not waste more time on this.
PS. I am curious how Cameron feels today after saw many exposed the many flaws in the narrative. I mean the obvlous story-destroying absurd connexions or lack of connexions.
I have to write another 200 charachters as if the meaning of the Universe itself has to be explained in min 600 chars.

Unexpected action, and it keeps your attention always wanting more. Love this series | 9 |
Just my take, something more then a braindead actionseries, I love the setting, the acting and the mystery, I think this will be awesome. If you expect standard action superheroes then settle your mind for something else. | 9 |
I don't know. Most superhero shows and movies aren't usually funny at all. This is one of those. Their focus is to save the world. It's not to be funny. Superhero movies and TV shows shouldn't mix with comedy. There's a reason they don't work together. They can't make enough clever jokes. They can't focus on saving the world while trying to be funny at the same time. I don't see what's so funny about this show. I could only get through a few episodes. Not enough action or drama. Not very many punchlines or at least clever ones. The characters also speak very slow or very fast. The setting is kind of odd. Why does the show seem so dark when it's daylight? The lighting could use some TLC. I get that some of the slow pace or silent moments are supposed to make the show seem more dramatic, but much of it is just lazy. I've seen a lot of dark humor on television. In my opinion, this doesn't really show much of it. Maybe it's just the timing. I know many people think that swearing is funny because it's unexpected. I don't mind the swearing, but it doesn't even help the show's humor. | 2 |
Firstly, ignore the haters. If you hate whodunnits or things that do not rely on gore/extreme violence, nonstop cgi action, gratuitous use if the f* bomb, and/or sports, then this is not the show for you. It's also not about rebellious mensa youths playing chess.
But, if you like murder mysteries/whodunnits, and are looking for something clever, fun, and just a tad lighthearted despite being about solving murders, please watch this show. The filmmakers do a great job of taking the podcast medium and bringing it to life in an entertaining and colorful way (more entertaining, in fact, than many actual podcasts themselves regardless of your imaginative capabilities).
The casting is fantastic and the main 3 protagonists have a great chemistry together, really bringing life to their characters. And while some supporting roles aren't fleshed out too deeply, you get a great sense of the overall ecosystem of sorts at the Arcadia through the protagonists adventures - which is all that matters here. It isn't the deepest show or the most dramatic, but it's approach to death, our differences, and the weird things that can bring us together is honest, thoughtful, and genuine. Yes, there are silly moments, and silly characters. But this is a comedy - and unlike other shows/films purporting to be comedic, does actually contain amusing things. As a millennial, I enjoy a real range of genres from romantic period pieces to rob zombie style horror, but, at the end of a long day, I truly looked forward to each episode drop of Only Murders as something light- but still thoughtful - to enjoy and decompress. Really looking forward to season 2. | 10 |
Just try to imagine someone who didn't watch the 22 previous Avengers movies, watching this movie.
It's just totally incomprehensible.
And even for someone (like me) who watched the previous movies, how can I remember all the details after 11 years ?
Too many characters and too much talkings, this movie is BORING ! A pile of private jokes doesn't make a good movie.
I give 3 stars for the last 20 minutes. Just for the SFX, but I don't understand who fighting who and why. | 3 |
Wow. WOW!!!!
My favorite movie of all time is Aliens. It's been my favorite movie since I was 5-years-old. I'm 38 now. That has NEVER changed.
Until THIS.
And I bet you are thinking this review is satire. It's NOT.
I'm BLOWN away. Barbie is now my favorite movie of all time - successfully unseating Sigourney Weaver's Ripley. I never thought I would see the day.
The movie makes you think it's going to be just a fun, silly movie to mock. NO. It's not. It's brilliantly written. It's written so well that all the adult messaging goes right over the little kids heads but still gives them plenty of enjoyment.
The movie sparked really great discussion with my daughter who is 8-years-old. We discussed why it's so important to value ourselves and what the patriarchy is. It's just... mind blowingly good.
And also - a good reminder to all women. WE ARE ENOUGH. We are good enough. And we need to raise our daughters to be confident and leaders if that's the path they choose. | 10 |
So I saw the 8.1 rating and thought 'this must be good'...erm, I'm not seeing it.
Admittedly, the film is very watchable and quite entertaining for the most part...but overall, it's kind of generic...with very weird acting methods, which becomes irritating at times.
Unoriginal plot...and a lot of gratuitous scenes.
A solid film, but no way on Earth is it an 8.1. | 4 |
The sequel to the Fantastic beasts was badly boring with no strong plot and was ruined by many sub-plots . The only thing I excited in this movie was the visual effects part and other things were awful.Coming to actors , their performances were not phenomenal and they just done it in their way. The problem with this movie was it just tried to set things for another sequel and with I felt like there was no story in this movie. Overall it's a huge disappointment for me. | 5 |
Visually it cannot be faltered in my eyes. The CGI was simply outstanding but the rest just lacked that WOW factor the 94 version had.
The voices and songs just didn't give me the 'hair standing on end' feeling, I wasn't bought into the characters. The original was perfect, don't fix what wasn't broken.
Not the worst thing I've ever seen but a huge flop in compassion to the original. | 4 |
Two seasons in and "Daredevil" has become my favorite Marvel thing, more than any of the movies. I mean, this show gets almost everything right. It's true to the characters, it's very well cast, and the main actors work well as an ensemble.
The shakiness of the first season (mostly D'Onofrio as The Kingpin) is replaced by proficiency Season 2. It does a pretty great job with juggling new enemies and complications in Matt Murdock's life. They pretty much nailed the casting of Elektra, and Frank Castle was the utmost pleasant surprise. His big intro is a silent shotgun rampage through the halls of a hospital before shooting Matt in the head. Now that's an entrance. For the Punisher that this show is depicting, Jon Bernthal is first-rate. Give that guy a spin-off. Also, they offered up ninjas by the truckload. Ninjas!
And the ultraviolence hasn't ebbed, either; still works on a psychological level. Sometimes it's even more than I can stand, which is surprising given the studio's prior shiny, safe M.O. But in the end, it doesn't matter, because I can't quit this. Truth be told, I'm more than a little annoyed that the show is put on hold for other Marvel series. Luke Cage? The Defenders? C'mon, seriously!
9/10 | 9 |
This is a wonderful anime, I watched more and more episodes and was just thrilled at the beginning of each episode. Action and adventure Must see | 9 |
Frankly, I don't see how all these people vote for 8. Inception is such a claustrophobic and overwhelming movie. The whole movie is extremely boring and isn't containing any funny moment. Yes, we are all know that this is not a comic. But the movie is going so serious when there's nothing to be serious about.
"A dream within a dream," may look like an interesting subject. However, we see that Nolan couldn't handle the subject very well. We can confirm that. Dialogues are cliché, simple and dysfunctional. Obviously, film was made for simple audience.
This is so sad. Inception is a stain on Top 250 list. | 1 |
I wonder when people will stop heaping praise upon QT and other similar directors when their efforts are less than stellar.
It's like "hey this is a QT movie so we're required by Hollywood law to love it and consider it one of the best films ever made."
Instead, we're left wondering what the hell we just watched. No discernible plot, no direction, just a series of scenes strung together.
Both Di Caprio and Pitt offer excellent performances and steak the show. From what I'm not sure, but they had a great screen presence together. That was the only highlight of this mess. | 3 |
Science fiction is my favorite genre, though not every other movie or TV series I have seen so far has come close to reality, which simply made them tiring, however I still kept watching and it was in this search process that I found this truly incomparable, inspiring A series close to reality. I can swear you like it, for some reason I believe so. | 9 |
Watched this flick first time in 13 years. Grew up listening the music and love every bit of the album. From groovy beats like AAHUN AAHUN & TWIST, to the sweet CHOR BAZAARI , to the loving AAJ DIN CHADDEYA , and YEH DOORIYAAN.
Music, as usual, plays an important part for Imtiaz's film here but the film lacks a strong narrative. Kind of, something feels missing or sometimes dragged.
The old era story was little but good. Simple, the music makes the film to shine for a certain period. The storytelling is not as par as of other Imtiaz's film like JAB WE MET or ROCKSTAR or TAMASHA.
(Ps. TAMASHA is loved by many but there was something missing. Same is the case with this one but TAMASHA is much better) | 5 |
I was disappointed by this movie. For some bizarre reason, I thought the movie would be more like a *Jason-Bourne-type* movie starring Jennifer Lawrence, but no. The movie is about "sex" or should I say 'spies' who use sexual seduction to manipulate and control their targets, while gathering or stealing intel. Very boring and disappointing. The only reason I even watched this movie was because it was Jennifer Lawrence. | 5 |
Well there is no comparison between Harry Potter series and Fantastic Beast. And when it comes to movie Fantastic Beast The Crimes of Grindelwald I found there was lack of plot and storyline. It should be more thriller in action and power in dialogues. Johnny Depp's acting is wonderful but it should be more negative in evil manner. And his role is little less than other negative characters. | 3 |
There are a lot of things I didn't expect on this show and I kept watching and the more I watch it, the more I was falling in love with it. I never read the comic of The Boys so this was very surprising to me when the superheroes are corrupted and abusive and a bunch of vigilantes trying to stop them. This is something I have never seen before in the superhero genre. Now, I'll be waiting for Season 2 coming soon. | 9 |
It seems the producer/writer never heard for Dunkirk ... 2 stars is just for Tom Hardy is in a movie... | 2 |
I watched this film for the first time ever with very high expectations after seeing Part 1 last month... Wow Part 1 was way better than this. This film was choppy and badly edited! At one point I seen a "Dead" body breathing! Part 1 was like a ride into the Mafia world and was a bit scary, this was just slow and choppy no action! The Godfather Part 1 is so good that this entire review is about it cause I could careless about The Godfather Part 2. There's a reason it's ranked higher than this, and Part 2 shouldn't even be in a Top 250. I suggest you watch The Godfather Part1, then skip this and watch Goodfellas, then watch The Godfather Part 3. | 6 |
Don't miss out on this one. The climax part will make you cry. I fall in love with Charlie 💞. After a long, we are seeing movies based on pet dogs. Also, the movie gives a good social message. | 10 |
Feel like I watched 8 episodes of attempting to get to know each character. I confess I did not read the books but this felt like a big miss. Jumped all over the place and felt like if I read the books it might have been good. I will keep an open mind and hope future episodes will pull it together. | 6 |
My rating is based on optimism really. We know that everything Marvel does fits into the bigger picture. The show is intriguing, although without patience, I don't see many people coming back to this after the first two episodes unless they're avid MCU fans. It's obvious the show is heading somewhere more interesting, but the sitcom format is kind of hard to get through without more context. They should've released more episodes upfront. Even just a little more context to what's going on I think would help fringe Marvel fans stay with this one. I'll keep tuning in because I know Marvel will ultimately deliver something good, but I don't know if I can speak for everyone else. | 7 |
This show is garbage. Bad writing, bad acting, bad editing, heck, they didn't even got the lighting right. | 2 |
What should i say? i haven't seen such an awesome and just full of emotions movie ever. I am sure everyone can relate to this movie. Shahrukh as usual has done his job. and i love it more because you get to see the old Shahrukh. I just feel like bursting into tears every time i watch this movie. and i have watched it many many times. and no i am not a little crying kid. I'm a full grown man.
The mesmerizing and enchanting songs, the cute looking Manisha. This movie is just pure heavens. If you non Urdu speaking folks want to learn Urdu, then do it for this movie. I am sure you wont regret it.
You hardly see these kind of movies anymore. Old is gold seriously.
This a Masterpiece. | 10 |
Hey, let's pack a terrible long movie with a ton of big name actors. Also, let's make it similar to every other gangster movie the director has made. It will get high ratings no matter what.
My favorite part of this mess was a man in his 70s (Deniro) playing a guy in his 30s. His cgi face looked ridiculous. And his body moved like the old man that he is in reality. | 3 |
I was eagerly waiting for this series when Netflix announced for the production. I expected this series will be dark and gothic. though the first few episodes went well I could not able to catch the plot in coming episodes of this series and I don't remember any others characters and very few characters done their best. Henry Cavill played very well in this series. Expect season 2 will have good script and do Justice to The Witcher. | 6 |
A father's beloved daughter goes missing and he uses her computer to try to understand her life and what happened to her.
Whilst computer screens used throughout a whole production is not wholly a new idea, it is quite extraordinary how absorbing and tense the father's on screen journey is as he unpicks his daughter's life piece by piece. Whilst the solution is a bit tricksy, this is a noble effort and a thriller well worth catching up with. | 6 |
I was a huge fan and couldn't wait for Season 3. I had to force myself to watch the rest, after Episode one. I felt like I was watching a terribly written and performed horror movie, which is not what the first two seasons were. There were constant, and I mean constant, fighting and insults between even the adult characters. These people are supposed to care about each other?? Naturally, there had to be a nod to LGBT, but in middle America in the 80s? Wouldn't have happened in reality. In conclusion, this season is not an embarrassment to the Duffer Brothers, but is instead a humiliation for them. Frankly, I don't plan on watching Season 4, if there is one. They would've had a classic on their hands had they stopped after Season 2. If you want to see what Stranger Things could have been - watch "Dark." | 1 |
Towards the end of Secret Superstar, a character utters few lines about the basic need of having and chasing dreams. She is doubtlessly inspired by another character who uttered those same lines previously during a heated verbal tiff. The authenticity of drama and the power that these characters have in you, much like how they have it on their co-characters, even while shouting at each other, are remarkable.
Advait Chandan's debut feature, Secret Superstar, which tackles two heavy subjects of domestic violence and chasing dreams at once is a definitive reflection of the patriarchal pit that we, or our women rather, live in. Self-learned amateur bass guitar player, occasional school-goer, and full-time dreamer Insia looks up to Bollywood music singers and follows them on awards circuit, albeit on TV, with a dream to become one herself some day. There are many obstacles that are limiting her chances, but the most virulent and relentless one is in her own middle-class household, a hypocritical sadist father who beats his wife at the drop of a spoon and controls his family like a merciless fascist government. Seeing Insia play with her guitar when she should be studying mathematics instead is already a good reason for him to lash out, so what happens when she creates a YouTube channel and moves an inch forward to her dream? The heated setting explodes, and the explosion is an arresting spectacle.
Director Chandan uses women living in oppression in a patriarchal household to craft a narrative that is a bit unrealistic and contrived from time to time. A theme last seen in Rima Das's festival-favorite indie drama Village Rockstars, the film hopes to shed light into the dreams of young girls suppressed by their own people. A girl who prefers her father's permanent absence and who is forced to travel miles without letting her folks know for fear of rebuke is the perfect example of the combination of audacity and determination required to tackle the obstacles, and Secret Superstar conveys that point across with some palpable drama and shades of quirkiness.
Aamir Khan is absolutely phenomenal as an idiosyncratic music producer known for his sexual escapades and bad temper. His presence on screen is like drinking Kool-Aid in scorching heat, and every time he appears, thirst automatically finds its way. It is characters like him that Chandan uses to support his ship that is determined it will not sink. From the gaudy metallic print t-shirts that he wears to his oddball demeanor, Khan plays a character that is only second to Zaira Wasim's. She steals the limelight with her cheeks that go scarlet when she dreams and surprises herself, quarrels with her mother and close friend Chintan, and takes a stand for herself against the oppression, unlike her mother competitively rocked by the talented and sweet-nosed Meher Vij. The duo look like they are mother-daughter in real life, what with their seamless connection and similar complexion. If Wasim is the captain of this ship then Vij is the second captain with Khan sitting in the corner as an adviser with wisdom and energy to drown in. Special mention to Raj Arjun, who is the mole in this ship, for pulling off the father character so impeccably that you want to beat him up.
One of the many reasons why Secret Superstar works and never bores you is the tiny references that it makes to life in general. Taking potshots at the music industry, surface touching the current Weinstein-inspired scenario, the oppressed family living in a society called "Modern Colony", and the sexism that is so prevalent around us are to name a few. These references are tidbits that make the broth tastier and prevents you from focusing on the mannered narrative. The soundtrack is thankfully not cheesy and gels wells with the screenplay. Music is an integral part of what Insia dreams to achieve, and that's one thing that the film gets correct in terms of picturisation and flow.
It tugs at your heart as you root for this charming little lady with a guitar in one hand and grit in another. Secret Superstar is a warm and engaging film about being fearless and moving toward your dream no matter what, and with a sweet little love story hidden in the core, it scores. It scores big.

KNIVES OUT borrows from countless other whodunit films that have come before it while still managing to put a fresh and original take on it. It's everything that's great about the genre with just the perfect amounts of satire and parody added for good measure.
It's one thrill after the next. It's hilarious and a whole lot of fun. Don't try to figure it out yourself. Just enjoy the ride! Recommend. | 7 |
Especially the character played by Adam Sandler was very annoying. But in general I found the story very bad and watching the movie was a waste of our time. | 1 |
About the only good thing about this overly hyped sequel are the underwater visuals which are indeed beautiful. Everything else seems almost amateurish. The dialogue is so corny I started laughing just a few minutes in, including the soldiers, Jake's obnoxious kids, the only slightly less obnoxious water-clan kids, the leaders of the two clans, et al. If I were Native American I would raise a very strong protest about hackneyed cultural stereotypes- whooping war cries, bows and arrows, face paint, wampum beads, skimpy dress, sign language, etc. Terrible. I found the way that the females were clothed to almost deserve an R rating. I'm only halfway through the movie (I would not call it a "film") and am not sure I can suffer through more of it to the end. | 4 |
'Memento' and 'Inception' had some problems, but their ideas stretched the imagination. 'Interstellar' only delivers the bombastic silliness one would expect if a puffed-up Batman director thought he could eclipse Kubrick's '2001' with a puerile adventure story. Christopher Nolan's new film begins badly and steadily declines as its long-winded prologue introduces the stereotypical elements of a Steven Spielberg/Norman Rockwell Sci-Fi co-production - a widowed ex-astronaut farmer, his chiseled jaw, a feisty daughter, a crusty grandpa, a dying Earth, dust storms, paranormal activity, baseball, cornfields - and lots of corn.
After about an hour - which seems like two - a valiant crew lifts off in search of a planet to save humanity. Once they've journeyed through an intergalactic wormhole, the implausibility dimension expands to cosmic levels. Scientific hocus-pocus is stirred into the sentimental sludge as gigantic tsunamis, deranged astronauts, spaceship chases, time travel tomfoolery and black hole baloney eventually lead to a schmaltzy Hallmark-style climax. The visual effects are above average, but far short of awesome. When all is said and done, the film's self-importance and mawkishness leave one rooting for humanity's extinction. | 1 |
Well, that's just this! The power of Hollywood (nice pics, nice Fx, good realization...and good musics from the 80's) but nothing else than a Disney-like Scifi movie. With such kind of material, you'll get a better movie: Gravity. But here, it's a big trap to sell us the good clichés ('lying is bad', 'robbing is bad', 'respect and love your family in a pinky world', 'the bad guys with big heart', bla bla bla) but dish out in a common way fighting and battle (without blood drop, don't worry)!! 2 or 3 funny things but too much laborious to set basic characters history...and, of course, all elements are present to run second part: "looking for my father!! (tears)". | 3 |
I watched Taxi Driver for the first time last night. The video box called it one of the most powerful films in motion picture history. I call it one of the dullest things I've ever seen
Jodie Foster made the film for me; the rest of it just seemed to be a rambling, incoherent ride in the back of a cab!! | 2 |
Moonlight, acclaimed by many as a contemporary masterpiece, fell short of expectations in my cinematic experience. Despite the attention and praise it has garnered, it failed to engage me emotionally with the main characters. The lack of proper development for the protagonists throughout the different stages of their lives resulted in a disjointed and unconvincing story. The abrupt transitions between acts left holes in the plot and led to a loss of overall coherence.
The cinematography, though often lauded for its artistic style, in my opinion, did not manage to compensate for the shortcomings in the plot. Directorial and editing choices, instead of enhancing the visual experience, often confused and hindered the tracking of the story.
The cast, although talented, couldn't redeem the lack of depth in the characters. Performances sometimes felt forced, and the lack of chemistry among the main actors left the impression that emotional connection between them was absent.
In summary, while Moonlight may have been praised for its focus on relevant themes and representation of diversity, it failed to translate those intentions into a impactful and cohesive cinematic experience. With a fragmented narrative, questionable directorial choices, and performances that fail to shine, my rating of 2/10 reflects my disappointment with this film that, in my opinion, falls short of the expectations it has generated. | 2 |
"Captain America: Civil War" (2016), a lot of you know this already. But, if you don't, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014) is my personal favorite Marvel film, as well as one of my top ten all-time favorite movies in general. So, you can imagine the high expectations I had when I waited for "Captain America: Civil War" to be released in theaters! Right? My hype was overwhelming, I couldn't wait for it to come out. Well, the day finally came for it's theatrical release. I went to go see it, and I really enjoyed it thoroughly! But then, when I eventually watched it on DVD, it just didn't have the same impact. I just felt a bit underwhelmed when I saw it again. Don't get me wrong, it is still a very well-done film. However, it does have a few hiccups here and there. "Captain America: Civil War" has an average story, fantastic acting, perfect sets/locations, perfect special effects, and of course a perfect soundtrack to tie it all together. The plot is, political involvement with the Avengers causes a feud between the heroes, which causes them to take opposing sides and turn against each other. Wow, now that's what I call an exciting premise! Overall, it does deliver on the storyline and it's everything that you expect to see. But, at the same time, that's also a problem here. Why? Because, this is supposed to be a solo "Captain America" movie. Yet, it feels like another "Avengers" film. To tell you the truth, I would've preferred this to be "Avengers 2", instead of the diarrhea stain known as "Avengers: Age of Ultron" (2015)! Which, in my opinion, is the absolute worst Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. Another lousy Marvel film that came out during this time, was "Ant-Man" (2015). What they should've done, was exclude "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and also "Ant-Man" and go straight into "Captain America: Civil War". This should've been "Avengers 2"! They could've still included Ultron in the movie, as one of his many powers is mind control. He could've influenced the world politicians to create the Sokovia Accords, as well as corrupt the Avengers' minds to turn them against each other. On top of that, Hank Pym would've created Ultron at some point instead of Tony Stark, which would've been comic book accurate. That would've been an outstanding film! Then, they could've just done the third "Captain America" movie later on about Bucky's brainwashing and Zemo's reign, minus the other Avengers and it would've made more sense. The whole sub-plot with the Sokovia Accords and the other characters is way too much going on for one film. Let alone, a solo "Captain America" movie! Plus, it almost fell into "Avengers: Age of Ultron" territory with the amount of one-liners in this film. As I've mentioned, that's a common problem with most Marvel movies, the corny jokes and humor. But here, it's not that bad. However, some of them can get distracting! For example, right before the airport fight (which is one of the best scenes in this film), Black Widow says: "this is gonna end well." I know that's an odd thing to comment on about this movie, but every time I hear it, that line completely detracts me from the moment! Bottom line, there is way too much going on in this film and yet, they tried to squeeze it all in. That being said, there is a lot of focus on Captain America among the other characters. Also, this is probably the most sufficient way to express this substantial story. However, you would think they'd learn from the same mistakes of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016)! At least compared to that travesty, "Captain America: Civil War" is cohesive. One thing that really stands out, is the action and fight scenes. They were really well-done! Those scenes alone make this movie worth watching. Other than that, the best word to describe the storyline is, cluttered. As for the acting, it's standard to great from the whole entire cast. But once again, the most lackluster performances are from Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine and Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow. Both of them are just dull and boring to watch for the most part. I could scream! For example, Don Cheadle's facial expressions barely ever change, and his acting is just wooden. Then, Scarlett Johansson's acting is deadpan and boring. But, it isn't her worst performance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That would actually be in "Avengers: Age of Ultron"! However, this performance is probably a close second though. On an unrelated note, I've seen other films where actors and actresses act the same way, and then they're nominated for Worst Actor or Worst Actress! How does Scarlett Johansson get a free pass? Also, how did Don Cheadle avoid that nomination? Other than their substandard performances, the rest of the cast does a great job! All of the sets/locations are perfect and they give this film a nice atmosphere. As for the special effects, they are all very well-done and still hold up to this day. Which is no surprise, seeing that it came out in 2016! Finally, the soundtrack composed by Henry Jackman is outstanding. His film score sets the perfect tone for the story and it really helps bring the movie to life! "Captain America: Civil War" is a fun film to watch once in a while. But, in the years that followed it has not aged that well. The storyline is the weakest element! However, as a whole, I still give it a pass. There are just enough good elements throughout the movie that make it worth a watch. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars on my scale, which equates to 8 out of 10 IMDB stars. Unless you're just getting into the Marvel films, it's really hard for me to recommend it otherwise. That being said, if you're watching the Marvel Cinematic Universe in chronological order, I suggest skipping "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Ant-Man". Seriously, you won't be missing a thing. I honestly recommend that you skip those films and go straight into this movie. Just make sure to refer to "Captain America: Civil War" as "Avengers 2"! | 8 |
Well have just finished watching all 8 episodes. I can see the audience , young (me 60), that the producers were aiming at . However if you like your stories in the K Dick / Missfits, style then you will enjoy this. I have given it a 9 /10 rating as there were a couple of "odd" occurrences, that I will not elaborate here, for they were minor and could spoil things. Give it a go. | 9 |
I'm going to be honest I only managed about 30 minutes before I had to turn it off so it may have picked up but scrolling through here doesn't sound like it. It's odd you get a very cinematic Michael Bay shot that abruptly cuts to something that looks like it was shot on a phone. The lack of care for continuity in the opening car chase is appalling with the driver hat disappearing and reappearing from one shot to the next. The editing and camera work made me feel sick. I can't believe Green Lantern is as bad as this. | 1 |
What a masterpiece by Shah Rukh Khan That 2001-2005 time was best in terms of Bollywood movies | 10 |
I loved season one, I couldn't wait for two but I have gotten over it. The camera work and the sound quality were horrid. I made it to episode four and couldn't take it anymore. Over half of the dialogue was mumbled so I turned on the subtitles but this was out of sync. I just hated it. | 3 |
Original content with a series. Doesn't get much better than that | 10 |
Feel like making a few extra billion dollars without using any effort? Well, you're in luck! Here's my 20 simple steps on making a Marvel movie:
1. Start with fight scenes
2. Find as many random comic book references as possible and cram them into the "story"
3. Add as many characters into the "plot" even if it becomes way too crowded
4. Add fight scenes
5. Make the dialog lol-tastic and quirky playful banter, despite being a "dark" movie
6. Oh wait, the movie is dark again, be sure to make the film go into dramatic mode, where there are no sound effects except for echoed "NOOO!"'s and the swelling music
7. Add fight scenes
8. Throw in a few random chuckle-worthy lines. Make sure the music stops when this happens, letting the audience know that something funny is being said
9. Make the editing schizophrenic and impossible to see anything, especially during the fight scenes. This ensures that viewers cant see anything that's going on during all 5,932 action scenes
10. More fight scenes, plus explosions
11. More comic book references
12. Make it at least 140 minutes in runtime to make it seem more epic
13. Add in yet more characters, this time for the sake of making more spin offs that will make more spin offs that will make more spin offs that will make more spin offs that will...
14. Make the directing as obvious as possible, thus eliminating all suspense or deeper thinking. Remember, your audience is stupid and only want explosions...
15. Add more explosions to more fight scenes
16. Make the villain a goofy wise ass who exchanges quirky banter with the characters instead of making it him/her an intimidating foe
17. Throw in a random love arc. DRAMA!!!!!!!
18. Tell your composer to write the most bland score ever
19. Whatever comic book references and characters you have left, no matter how small or pointless, THROW THEM INTO THE SCRIPT! Just dump the entire bucket into the pool!
20. Finish with more fight scenes.
There! In just 20 brief steps, you'll make a guaranteed billion dollars. If you're a DC executive wondering how to make BvS2 or Justice League reach that big B, just follow this list and you'll be rolling in the green in no time. No need to worry about a story, plot, or screenplay, because that crap takes too much time. Instead, just follow my list to become the next Warren Buffett of quickly-aging cinema. Best of luck to you, gents! | 5 |
SRK is totally just awesome in this movie What a thrilling screenplay with SRKs top performerce 2nd half is totally breathtaking 1st half us pure classic total masterpiece FAN | 10 |
What worked: It's a very well executed movie. We can say that it's way ahead of it's time for the industry. The screenplay and directed is of top notch from Raghavan, it's one of his great early works. Urmila was outstanding in her role and showed a great performance. Saif and Seema Bishwas were great supporting cast.
What did not work: The movie had some minor plotholes which could have been taken care of to enhance. Some scenes needed editing and mixing. Also, I would have cut down or changed some dramatic scenes l. Besides that, it's a great movie Final verdict: highly recommended | 9 |
I finally got around to viewing this tonight and after reading all the hype I was disappointed. I don't want to be too harsh on Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone because they are obviously not singers or dancers and it was brave of them to do this.
To be honest I am not a lover of musicals but I do like jazz. Many times after seeing a movie whether it is a musical or not there is some music or song that sticks with me and I end up buying the soundtrack but that will not be the case with La La Land.
Last month I bought the newly released blu-ray of The Boy Friend by Ken Russell which I saw in a theatre in 1971 and is one of the few musicals that I love. While watching La La Land I couldn't help but think how it paled in comparison to The Boy Friend in terms of music, dancing and amazing musical numbers. | 4 |
On my second-in-a-row trip to the United Kingdom in summer 2004, I was hoping that seeing this film would be an option for a night activity. And it was! Because of that, I signed up for it right away! Yeah, watching a movie in another country sure is a thrilling experience! And so is this movie! I have heard of certain movies where in later parts, it just gets on better! And this movie is such an excellent example! Like the first film, this film has more exciting action sequences, including one near the end of the movie! I gotta tell you something, if you have never seen any of the "Spider-Man" movies, then you are missing out on something big and exciting! | 10 |
One lives in hope rabid rats will attack the producers for this dire excuse for anything.
2 episodes were 2 too many.
Next time it comes on I'll be bleaching my bottom... | 1 |
Great cast, beautifully shot, some fantastic action sequences all marred by relentlessly sophomoric and often ridiculous dialogue masquerading as wit and a convoluted story arc that went from A to A. Could have been a gripping success with better pages. Epic wasted opportunity. | 5 |
I hope this is renewed.
Lots of great writing and premises. But a little over acted and dramatic. Too much yelling. The adults could act little more like mature adults.
Love the strong women characters. But am troubled by what happens to a stereotypical fat girl. Why do blacks always die and get crucified all the time? Why are fat people vilified? Very X-Files, Spielberg and Stephen King in flavor. Needs a few more creative twists instead of leaning on what has been done before. Duffer Bros. make your mark in a new way. | 8 |
There's a 15 minute recap of the first season?!?! It's probably better than the actual first season. I don't care about any of the characters and that's the very basis of a good show or movie: caring whether the characters live or die. The actors are committed, but I'm embarrassed for Henry Cavill. Did he need the money, maybe? Everybody wants to have the next Game of Thrones, but the Witcher fails as bad as Amazon's Wheel of Time. I'm bored! | 4 |
The TV show start good. Good idea. Good actors. R TV show. I love that. But as it progresses it decays. The CGI don't look good enough. The story is bad. Why when he got the powers ( let's say ) have to make fun of everything ? This is the kind of show we don't want. | 3 |
My favorite part was when Sam looked directly into the camera, addressing all the boys and girls at home, and singlehandedly ended injustice by urging us to "do better." | 4 |
Instead of starting a new storyline, it was a continuation from Endgame that drugged it out further and resolved nothing. Spider-Man far from home did more to start a new chapter with the MCU. This series purpose was troll fans in hoping for the introduction of the x-men by bringing in Evan Peters but totally ruin his story and purpose in the final. | 5 |
One Punch Man is the good show, but scary for young children, because punching, fire, & fighting too much, I don't know this punching villians, because it's scary for young viewers, but for ( 10 - 14 ) year olds, it's for 10, 11, 12, 13, & 14 year olds to watch the show, because it's scary super hero show, but not a dark show. | 6 |
In this day and age it shouldn't be too hard to hire at least average writer and spend some money on science adviser. Yet, here we go - another pseudo Sci-Fi with no Sci in it at all and with plot written by idiots for idiots. 2 stars for CGI. | 2 |
Feels more like a spin-off of the show Grim with a detective trying to figure out which monster did it. Once in a while, Wednesday will be Wednesday but majority of the time she's just playing detective.
I don't understand the fad with making Gomez Addams a Mexican. His first name is Gomez but his last name is Addams. That's like assuming a guy with the first name of Tony is Italian when his last name is O'Connor. Gomez's brother, Fester Addams and the rest of his family are not Mexican. Call it what you want but I'm just stating facts and I'm not the one that made a short-fat Mexican Gomez Addams in the animated film and this show about Wednesday that isn't actually Wednesday. | 3 |
This movie is just a one time watch action packed movie with no plot and no character development. The action choreography is top notch and the camera work in these sequences is great. But that's all. Other than that,it fails in every level. The plot is thin and shallow with no engagement at all. The characters are weakly developed, so the emotional payoffs are flat . The good actors like Randeep Hooda and Pankaj Tripathi have been underutilized. Chris Hemsworth's performance is so so. The warm color tone used is unique.
Good action, good cinematography but bad plot, non engaging characters and very unbalanced screenplay. Not really recommended. If you are still going to watch, keep zero expectations. | 5 |
